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.
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.
You need some assurance that should the machine perform below what the manufacturer stated it will perform, measures to cover the matter will not be paid out by you. This assurance comes in the form of a product warranty. However, warranties don t last forever. So the duration of the warranty is an important factor to consider before buying the scanner.
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.
