Buying new equipment is often the only thought that comes to mind for hospital and clinical staff when there is the need to make a replacement. However, a much better and more cost-effective option is to choose a refurbished component. Browsing online to find these units is a simple way to locate just what is required and make a purchase.
For a cardiovascular center, choosing a refurbished stress treadmill is a very smart choice. Not only will you have a like-new treadmill at a fraction of the price, but you can also anticipate at least three additional perks.
Complete System or Treadmill
By choosing a refurbished stress treadmill and complete stress testing system, it is possible to upgrade to a model that has all the features needed and the latest in technology.
Often facilities are forced to choose just the basic model to avoid cost overages on the purchase. With the choice of the refurbished model, you may find you can fully upgrade the complete system, or even add an additional system to help to increase services to patients.
Solid Reliability
As with any type of refurbished equipment, it is essential to carefully select your dealer. Look for an experienced medical equipment company and buy direct, not through a third-party seller. This eliminates any hassle should there be a need for warranty work.
The best medical refurbishing companies will provide a one-year parts and labor warranty. With this equipment, which will see daily use in most facilities, that warranty is an important consideration.
Latest in Technology
The new refurbished stress treadmill systems provide operator control that is intuitive and very easy to learn. With everything from touch screens for control to the ability to easily change the protocol in the programming, even the most demanding test requirements can easily be managed.
If you are integrating the treadmill with an existing system, be sure to check the cardiac stress tests systems are compatible. Most of the top lines will fully integrate with the Mortara/Quinton cardiac stress tests systems, but verification is always important.
Always evaluate the brand reputation of the treadmill system, as well as the type of tests the system can perform. Top of the line models can offer both resting and stress test 12-lead ECGs all on the same system, making them the best option for a wide range of testing and patient needs.
