The
Case for Buying Used Medical Equipment
Why should anyone consider buying used medical equipment?
A better question is why not? With just a few simple ideas and a bit of
common sense, a medical office, especially a smaller practice, can be
fully equipped and ready for its first patient at minimal costs.
As with any medical practice, it is the personnel that will be the
biggest expense, and that is as it should be. The medical business is,
at its heart, a service industry. And it is people who provide service.
Medical equipment is, after all, a tool—granted an expensive,
highly precise tool, but a tool nonetheless.
The first step in buying used medical equipment is simple: talking.
Talk to the nurse, technician or staff member who will be using the
equipment the most. Find out their basic needs as well as their wish
list. Find out if they have any experience with used equipment. Do
others in their industry regard used equipment as a viable option? You
will be surprised to find out that most people in today’s
medical industry have experience with and are not fundamentally opposed
to used medical
equipment.
Do not ignore the cost of running the machine. A great deal on an x-ray
machine becomes meaningless if the cost of the x-ray film quickly
exceeds your monthly budget.
Once you have settled on an instrument that may fit your needs, it is
time to go to the Internet. Check professional websites and
make inquires on the reputation of that particular piece of used
equipment. The members of the boards and websites will be happy to
render an opinion. They may also be able to tell you if they have had
experience with a particular used equipment vendor from whom you are
considering making a purchase.
Following these simple steps will allow you to assess used medical equipment
and keep your overall equipment costs down and still serve your
patients well.
