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.
Human DNA may get damaged when a person gets exposed to a high level of radiation. The first thing to check before purchasing a used scanner is its radiation emission levels, otherwise, patients using the scanner will be at risk of getting deadly sicknesses like breast cancer or losing their unborn babies if pregnant. If the emissions are above the medical science threshold then a new machine is the only option.
The machine may have had just a scratch to make it a second-hand product or it may have been used a lot of times and lost its value before you buy it. The former will perform to its maximum design speed while the latter may have a very slow processing speed. The machine you choose should be able to capture images at an acceptable speed, don t compromise.
Why are you buying this machine, what do you want it to do for you? This is what you should ask yourself to check if the machine you want to buy will cater for all your needs before actually buying it. If you want to avoid explanatory surgeries then you should probably buy one that gives distinct clear 3 dimensional images of all organs, bones, and veins. You must understand what the machine offers and compare to what you want.
An old machine may be cheaper to buy, but there are additional costs coming with it. It will require regular maintenance and sometimes some parts will need to be repaired or replaced. Predicting these costs and adding them to the original purchasing price will help to compare with the price of a new machine and therefore making a more informed 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.
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.
Take your time and consider all the above-mentioned factors. The final decision of purchase will be the one that will save money and produce outstanding required performance without putting patients health at risk and have readily available parts.
