Electronic Assembly: Things To Look At Before Purchasing A Refurbished CT Scanner

By Stephen Cole


Used machines may cost almost half the price of new machines. Doctors and hospitals with a limited budget may be able to buy a refurbished CT scanner that is within their budget from an electronic assembly professional. Although refurbished ones are cheaper, they don t run as smoothly as brand new ones. Before making a decision on whether to buy it new or used, there are numerous factors to consider which will aid in making an appropriate decision.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the machine was manufactured locally, it is very likely to find its parts locally as well, which is a good thing since you can go buy them yourself and they will not take time to be delivered. However, if they are manufactured elsewhere, it can be costly and a long process to finally get them.

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.
