How Economical Is It To Buy A Refurbished CT Scanner From An Electronic Assembly Professional?

By Stephen Cole


If you can afford expensive things then you will probably not like to buy used products, you ll want them new. Which is a good thing because they will be still giving their maximum performance. However, for those who want to cut costs, getting used things is a viable option with electronic assembly experts. The aim of this article is to highlight important elements that aid in the decision making the process of whether to buy a new or 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.

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.

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.

Some scanners are so old that when you buy them they will already have an expired warranty. It is very risky to buy them because should they start to malfunction you will have to pay for the fixing costs yourself. If possible, buy those that are still under warranty and find out how long the warranty will last. If not possible then investigate before making the purchase the type and cost of services available from the manufacturer after warranty.

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.

It is not really clear if purchasing a refurbished scanner will save money without considering all the factors mentioned above. There are underlying costs that may arise with time, know them and choose wisely.
