How Soma Technology Celebrates Earth Day Everyday

It is no surprise that Earth Day is one of the more important days for environmentalists, conservationists, and those who are hyperaware of their surroundings. Soma Technology is committed to a green standard of manufacturing. We actively recycle equipment into refurbished working units for hospitals, clinics, physician’s offices, and ambulatory surgical centers.

The Refurbishment Process

Each of our pieces of equipment undergo a strenuous refurbishment process. We have a dedicated procurement team that sources equipment from hospitals that is likely going to be replaced with newer equipment. You can even sell your used medical equipment to Soma. These products are inspected, and calibrated, and our biomedical engineering team replaces parts. These units are sent to cosmetics to be sanded, painted, and have new decals placed so that they look like new. After final testing of being up to OEM specifications, these units function as if they are new.

The Benefits of Refurbished Products

There are many benefits to buying refurbished products. The one that most people find agreeable, is that using refurbished medical equipment saves planners up to 50% compared to new. The surplus of savings allows facilities to build upon existing projects, hire new talent, or complete expansions. The other less often talked about benefit is that it helps to save the environment. By recycling these units, and then refurbishing them, we actively keep these machines out of landfills and extend the life of the machines by at least 15 years.
