The Benefits of Purchasing Refurbished Medical Equipment
With new medical equipment constantly being developed and put on the market, many larger hospitals are selling their used machines before their lifespan has expired. What does this mean for small clinics and doctor’s offices? It means the chance to cash in on an opportunity to have more medical equipment options. Refurbished machines are gaining popularity, so much so that many medical equipment manufacturers sell both new and refurbished medical equipment. Here is a list of the three biggest benefits to purchasing a refurbished machine:
Quality: When buying used equipment, it is important to make sure that it is refurbished. Refurbished machines have been tested by technicians to ensure that the machines are in 100% working order and have been properly cleaned. These tests are done in accordance with guidelines passed in 2007 called the Good Refurbishment Practice (GRP) which has strict stipulations for medical devices. These standards work to ensure that the machines perform at the same levels as their new counterparts.
Guarantees: New equipment comes with warranties while refurbished medical equipment often comes with guarantees. Generally speaking these are short-term, 90-day guarantees that cover malfunction costs of parts and labor. Please note that this is a critical difference between used machines and refurbished machines. Used machines do not offer guarantees of quality.
Cost Savings: The most notable benefit of purchasing a refurbished machine is the sheer financial saving. Refurbished machines are often 50% of the price of what a new machine would cost. Lower prices allow smaller clinics to have more machines while staying within their budgets. The exact savings will depend on the type of machine, the machine’s overall condition in proportion to its expected lifespan and guarantee options.
Refurbished medical equipment allows for affordable machines without sacrificing quality. That being said, it is also important that the technicians who will be using the machines are comfortable doing so; new machines often include free installation and/or user training sessions while this is less common with refurbished machines. Thoroughly researching the machines while also taking into account the costs associated with the guarantee, shipping, training and maintenance will ensure a satisfying refurbished medical equipment purchase.
