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.
The machine may have had just a scratch to make it a second-hand product or it may have been used a lot of times and lost its value before you buy it. The former will perform to its maximum design speed while the latter may have a very slow processing speed. The machine you choose should be able to capture images at an acceptable speed, don t compromise.
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.
One last factor to consider is the availability of repairing parts. Are they available in your country or will you be forced to make purchases from offshore countries which will take longer to arrive? Being able to buy them locally is an advantage because in terms of emergencies the machine won t be idle for a long time while waiting for parts to be delivered from overseas.
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.
