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:
- Acquisition: Equipment is sourced from hospitals, imaging centers, and trade-ins
- Assessment: Complete diagnostic testing identifies all issues
- Disassembly: Systems are carefully disassembled for thorough inspection
- Component Replacement: Worn parts are replaced with new or certified components
- Reassembly: Systems are rebuilt to manufacturer specifications
- Testing: Comprehensive testing ensures performance meets standards
- Cosmetic Restoration: External cleaning and refinishing
- Certification: Documentation of all work and performance validation
Quality Standards
Reputable providers adhere to:
- ISO 13485 quality management systems
