The primary distinction between refurbished, OEM refurbished, and used ultrasound machines is the condition and the price.
Refurbished Equipment:
This is what is commonly referred to as “seller refurbished”. It describes a system that has been through an inspection and refurbishing process that may contain cosmetic aspects, like cleaning and painting, and functionality, like parts replacement and installing software options. However, each company has a different definition of this “refurbished” process, it’s worth considering requesting specifics on each company’s refurb process. The Ultrasound Source changes or updates parts/components, we will paint or replace cosmetic blemishes/pieces, and we will also add software options. What work is done can also be customized to meet your specific needs of use and budget. All integral parts/components and most cosmetics unless otherwise stated are updated to meet manufacturer specifications.
“Used” Ultrasound Equipment:
Used equipment encompasses a rather large category of potential conditions. Some companies merely acquire systems and they are sold “as is” without full system diagnostics or inspection of the components of the unit or transducers. Options and configurations will be limited to what the previous owner purchased. At the Ultrasound Source, you can rely on all of our systems, including used, are at a minimum cleaned, disinfected, and tested by our professional service technicians. Many people in the industry also call this “refurbished”, but it isn’t, so always be careful to make sure to ask what work has been completed on the unit you’re looking to purchase before you buy.
