If you run a medical practice, there will come a time where your anesthesia machines need to be replaced. When that time comes, you will have the option to purchase equipment that is either new or which has been refurbished. There are many benefits to both options, as today’s post will reveal.
New Medical Equipment
Buying new medical equipment means you can offer your patients the latest technology. This can help ensure that patients continue their treatment with you. As well, new equipment can have a great impact on your reputation, helping you to attract new patients.
New anesthesia machines have many options that allow clinicians to devote more time to the health of the patient and less on the operation of the equipment. Data integration, customization, and automatic processes are just a few of the many features that are helping clinicians to accomplish this.
However, once new equipment becomes obsolete, you may have to purchase new equipment the next time. This may require getting a loan if your budget does not allow for payment of the full equipment cost.
Used Medical Equipment
Purchasing a refurbished anesthesia machine also provides the opportunity to offer your patients new technology. It also provides the opportunity to attract new patients as you continue treating current patients.
The added benefit of having used, but current anesthesia equipment is that you don’t have to spend a large amount of money upfront to obtain it. Not only is used equipment a fraction of the cost to purchase, but there are also many options for payment and leasing.
When existing equipment becomes obsolete, a refurbished machine can ensure you stay up-to-date, but without the high upfront cost of a new machine.
Factors to Consider When Shopping for Your Next Anesthesia Machine
Whether you have decided to purchase new or used equipment, you must consider several factors. First, you must assess the needs of your facility. This will help you determine the size of the machine you need, as well as what number of features suit you best.
After need, you must look at your budget, which may allow for the purchase of new equipment. If it doesn’t, a refurbished machine will be the best choice for you.
If you choose a refurbished machine, its condition will need to be considered. Of course, it must not only be in optimal working condition but must also be safe to operate. One way to ensure that your used machine is in top form is to purchase it from a reputable company that both rigorously tests its equipment before selling it and ensures support long after purchase.
