How to buy a used C-Arm?

OK.  You're ready to buy a C-Arm and you've decided to buy a refurbished C-Arm because you know you can meet your business need and stay within your budget.  

What do you do next? 

In the highly specialized world of Refurbished C-Arms, the value of well educated and informed staff is one of the most important assets in choosing the correct equipment for your facility. 

You have many options when buying a refurbished or used C-Arm and we know it can be overwhelming.  That's how we can help you.  We will walk you through your options to find the best solution.

It's important to keep a few things in mind when choosing the model which catches your attention will help you make the best choice possible.  Here are just a few things to consider in your selection.

• Footprint – Space is a huge consideration when it comes to purchasing a refurbished C-Arm. Starting with a general idea as to the level of space available and the footprint requirements of the C-Arm itself is an excellent first step when considering your options.
• Basic Function – the list of functions that your Refurb C-Arm absolutely needs is certainly not to be ignored. Any model in question can be within the size requirements, and can look pretty enough, but without the necessary functions to get the job done, you may as well purchase a sculpture for your facility.
• Feature sets – The correct set of features is ultimately what will allow the workflow of technicians to be as smooth as possible. Providing your physicians with the features which allow them to conduct procedures quickly, efficiently and with the focus your patients deserve is a something which should be explored in depth before the final decision is made.
• Technology – Perhaps one of the more difficult things to keep on top of is the technology level. Because improvements are constantly being made in imaging and dose control, it is important to make sure that the equipment you choose is up to date and on par with today’s level of technology. This is one of the determining factors in how long you can expect to use the equipment, and thus the level of return investment it provides.
• Investment Calculation – Calculating the return investment of any Refurbished C-arm is one of the more important aspects of choosing the right equipment for your facility. Because this equipment must eventually pay for itself and provide some source of revenue, this portion of the process deserves its due process. Your budget is important, be sure to keep your options open especially in this field.
