Refurbished CT Scanners Can Be A Way Of Saving Money With Electronic Assembly

By Stephen Cole


Purchasing a new machine is very attractive because it is guaranteed to work faultlessly and efficiently. However, there are cases whereby buying a new machine is out of the question. Buying a refurbished machine is desirable mostly when a person wants to save money as it may cost less than 50% of the price of a new machine thanks to the electronic assembly. This article discusses things that should be considered before deciding to buy a refurbished CT scanner.

The main aim of buying this machine is to be able to solve patients health problems, not to add them. So if it will put the health of patients at risk then it should not be bought. Most restored scanners emit high levels of radiation. Radiation is very dangerous because it alters a person s gene sequence and causes permanent changes in the living cells of a human being.

When a patient is in pain, doctors must try by all means to help them in a wink of an eye. A scanner with a slow processing speed will slow down the diagnostic process and produce slightly imprecise readings. So looking at the speed of the machine is an important factor in the decision-making process.

Comprehending what the machine will give is also very important. You don t want to buy extra things to make your job easier while you could have bought a machine that offers everything that you want from it. If you are dealing with bones only, then there is no need to buy a more expensive machine that will give extra things like brain structure. You will save a lot of money when you buy exactly what you want.

It is known that purchasing an old machine is cheaper than buying an old one, but other costs should be considered on top of purchasing costs. These costs include maintenance and repair costs. Will a refurbished machine still be the cheaper option after considering the extra costs coming with it? This is something you have to find out before making the final decision.

It is advisable to purchase one that is still under warranty. If the warranty has already expired, check which services will be available and how much they will cost. Given the duration of the warranty and/or the cost of extra services you will be in a better state to make comparisons and buy the most suitable machine.

If the machine was manufactured locally, it is very likely to find its parts locally as well, which is a good thing since you can go buy them yourself and they will not take time to be delivered. However, if they are manufactured elsewhere, it can be costly and a long process to finally get them.

You will be at a better state to make an informed decision on whether to buy a refurbished or new scanner after considering all these factors. The balance between machine performance and its costs.
