What is Refurbished Medical Equipment?

Refurbished medical imaging equipment refers to previously owned systems that have been restored to like-new condition through comprehensive reconditioning processes. These aren't simply "used" machines – they undergo extensive testing, repairs, and upgrades.

The Refurbishment Process

Quality refurbishment involves multiple stages:

  1. Acquisition: Equipment is sourced from hospitals, imaging centers, and trade-ins
  2. Assessment: Complete diagnostic testing identifies all issues
  3. Disassembly: Systems are carefully disassembled for thorough inspection
  4. Component Replacement: Worn parts are replaced with new or certified components
  5. Reassembly: Systems are rebuilt to manufacturer specifications
  6. Testing: Comprehensive testing ensures performance meets standards
  7. Cosmetic Restoration: External cleaning and refinishing
  8. Certification: Documentation of all work and performance validation

Quality Standards

Reputable providers adhere to:

  • ISO 13485 quality management systems
  • FDA regulations for medical device refurbishment
  • OEM specifications for performance
  • Local regulatory requirements
