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.
There is a maximum amount of radiation that a human body can tolerate without getting a permanent change in its protein segment (DNA). Mostly, unplanned change in DNA sequence is undesirable, especially if the cause is from radiation. X-ray machines and other scanners release small amounts of radiation to be able to scan a human body, the emission is bearable of course. However, older ones may emit more radiation that may put people s lives in danger.
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.
Buying something that you will probably never use is a waste of money as much as buying something that will not give you what you want is. No person wants to spend money buying more things on top of a big machine that was supposed to come with them. So before buying the scanner, check if it provides the services that you will need and if you can buy a cheaper one that does not come with unnecessary extras.
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.
Imagine having to tell your patients to come some other time because the machine is broken and needs repairing parts that will only arrive after 2 months since they were ordered from another continent. People could lose lives and you can lose clients. It is safer to buy one whose parts can be found locally or nearby.
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.
