Used machines may cost almost half the price of new machines. Doctors and hospitals with a limited budget may be able to buy a refurbished CT scanner that is within their budget from an electronic assembly professional. Although refurbished ones are cheaper, they don t run as smoothly as brand new ones. Before making a decision on whether to buy it new or used, there are numerous factors to consider which will aid in making an appropriate decision.
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.
Why are you buying this machine, what do you want it to do for you? This is what you should ask yourself to check if the machine you want to buy will cater for all your needs before actually buying it. If you want to avoid explanatory surgeries then you should probably buy one that gives distinct clear 3 dimensional images of all organs, bones, and veins. You must understand what the machine offers and compare to what you want.
A used machine may require you to spend more money on it even after the big purchase. Since the scanner is not brand new, it might break up regularly if not maintained properly. This means you will spend a lot of money buying repairing parts and replacing them. Regular maintenance also comes as a cost.
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.
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.
