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

By Stephen Cole


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.

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.

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.

You will be at a better state to make an informed decision on whether to buy a refurbished or new scanner after considering all these factors. The balance between machine performance and its costs.
