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.

Another important factor to consider is its processing speed. Some things need to be detected quickly otherwise the patient may die, for example, internal bleeding. A fast scanner is needed to give accurate and quick results were needed. If it is too old then it is probably slow and will be tedious to use, thus, don t buy it.

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.

A used machine may require you to spend more money on it even after the big purchase. Since the scanner is not brand new, it might break up regularly if not maintained properly. This means you will spend a lot of money buying repairing parts and replacing them. Regular maintenance also comes as a cost.

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.

One last factor to consider is the availability of repairing parts. Are they available in your country or will you be forced to make purchases from offshore countries which will take longer to arrive? Being able to buy them locally is an advantage because in terms of emergencies the machine won t be idle for a long time while waiting for parts to be delivered from overseas.

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.
