How To Select The Right Pre Owned
Medical Equipment
2
Introduction

• Hospitals, clinics, and health facilities buy
  medical equipment regularly. They can opt for new
  equipment or refurbished pre-owned equipment.
• New ones are expensive and it makes sense to go
  for pre-owned ones especially for small
  facilities and for clinics and hospitals that
  need to watch their bottom line.
• These pre owned equipments can have long life
  when selected carefully. However, wrong choice
  could be costly in the long run.

when you buy

1. Consider the credentials of the vendor or
   supplier you go to. Well known vendors deal in
   certified pre owned equipment.
2. Buying equipment means more than getting a
   product. You need to find out the details
   regarding installation process, and who is to
   carry out the installation, what are the
   maintenance and repair policies.
3. By buying equipment of a reputed and established
   brand you get more than a product you are given
   peace of mind too.
4. Pre-owned machines are refurbished before
   reaching the market.

Check out Points

• Has the machine been cleaned and disinfected
  properly? This makes the machine ready to use
  immediately after purchase.
• Have all visible disfigurations been repaired and
  repainted satisfactorily? Remember that a new
  looking machine will instill confidence in your
  patients.
• When replacing parts of a machine be sure that
  the parts fit, are properly sterilized, and look
  fresh.
• Check all major functional parts to see they are
  in proper working order. Pay attention to the
  parts that are more likely to face wear and tear
  in the long run.
• Check and see all replaced parts are of the
  latest edition.
• Finally, make sure that the reassembling has been
  done carefully and properly.

Conclusion

• Carefully selected and verified purchase of
  medical equipment is necessary for your business
  and for the welfare of your patients. 
• Faulty or hasty purchase could lead to frequent
  breakdowns that necessitate repairs and hamper
  the work of your health facility. 
• Good quality pre owned machines can function at
  par with new machines and will give you
  satisfactory results that meet your expectations
  and needs.
