The Benefits of Purchasing Reconditioned Biomedical Equipment
Most medical practices, surgical centers, urgent care clinics, and hospitals are all held hostage to some degree by their annual budget. While some expenditures are built in to accommodate increased patient flow or expanded services, others might be difficult to manage, especially when they are unexpected. Broken down equipment that either cannot be fixed or would cost more to repair than to replace must be dealt with regardless of the budget situation. If new biomedical equipment sales cannot be obtained at an affordable rate, it might be necessary to purchase used or reconditioned biomedical equipment.
Stat Bio-Medical Sales & Service offers our clients the opportunity to purchase both new and reconditioned equipment. Purchasing used equipment can be an attractive option as long as there is no sacrifice concerning quality. The most significant difference between brand new and used or reconditioned equipment is typically cost. The hardest part for most hospital administrators and practice managers is locating a good deal that makes sense. It is possible to save as much as 50 percent when you purchase medical equipment that is used or reconditioned. This can be a serious benefit to physicians that are opening a new facility or for existing practices that are expanding and are on a budget.
What is Reconditioned Biomedical Equipment?
In most cases, for every type and brand of biomedical equipment that is out on the market, it is possible to find something that is very similar but at a reduced price. While it might not be the latest model, paying half the price has its advantages. The types of biomedical equipment sales that fall into this category include anything from power exam tables to diagnostic equipment, EKG monitors, and lighting equipment. The primary difference between new and reconditioned equipment, outside of the price, is that reconditioned equipment has been previously used by another medical clinic, practice, or professional.
To be able to sell reconditioned biomedical equipment, the medical sales and service company takes the time to restore the equipment back to almost new condition. A team of highly skilled biomedical technicians works on these devices before you purchase medical equipment of this type. Whatever was not functioning properly or whatever parts were worn out and in need of replacement, must be completed and working just like a new piece of equipment. It is possible to find great deals for top name brands and high-value devices for as much as 50 percent off of the brand new price. This is perhaps the biggest draw for office managers and hospital administrators who are faced with replacing failed equipment without much in the way of budgetary wiggle room.
Why Purchase New Medical Equipment?
With all of the benefits associated with purchasing reconditioned biomedical equipment, you might wonder why anyone would ever spend twice as much for new biomedical equipment sales. There are advantages to purchasing both new and reconditioned equipment, depending on your unique situation. If you have the money in your budget to purchase medical equipment that is brand new, there are certain aspects associated with new biomedical equipment that cannot be obtained with used or reconditioned.
Some of those advantages include:
- factory warranty and guarantee
- brand new equipment that has not been used by anyone before
- full manufacturer backing of the biomedical equipment
- opportunities for preventive maintenance to extend the life of your equipment
However, in some cases, you might be able to get a warranty for reconditioned biomedical equipment. Make sure to ask the representative from the medical sales and service company if something like this is available. It probably won’t be a manufacturer warranty or guarantee, but something that comes directly from the biomedical equipment sales company. The more you can do to research the products that you want and the pricing for new and reconditioned equipment, the easier it will be to know if you are getting a good deal.
