WTF is an "apparatus MVA"? I get the MVA part, but...what exactly do they mean by apparatus?

Also about Saw: Thank god, maybe they'll stop making those pieces of shit and I won't have to see the ads on TV all the damn time anymore. I don't even watch much TV outside the NFL!

i'm going to watch saw 6 tomorrow night, it's way more interesting & scary than a "startle" movie.
