Most likely explanation: There was content on that web server other  
than stuff about medical systems -- either placed there deliberately  
by the site owner or, more likely, when the site has hacked.

I've been amused to see so many people commenting on this forgetting  
that the words in a URL needn't bear any relationship to the kind of  
data made available.

As has been reported elsewhere, another site in the list had indeed  
been hacked but subsequently fixed. Two years ago. The owner, a  
Queensland dentist, is not amused.
