Why Are Patient Monitors Used?

Why Is Renting Right for Me?

Many reasons why renting could be a better option for medical facilities than purchasing could be, but every situation differs from another. There are many benefits to renting medical equipment. Some benefits include avoiding acquisition and maintenance costs on equipment, and the ability to ensure equipment availability to meet immediate needs. There is no downtime due to repairs or preventative maintenance in using the equipment. By renting, you are afforded the freedom from technical obsolesce in that you can change out the unit when newer models come out. Other factors that may affect your decision to rent include the ability to access equipment without capital and to ensure the most efficient management of resources. Ask your sales representative about patient monitor rentals. Also, flu season will be starting very soon, and your hospital or medical facility will likely see an increase in patient census. Make certain that you have enough medical equipment for your employees to help care for patients.

Soma Technology has its own Parts Division. This is unique to our facility in that many other refurbished manufacturing companies do not have this.

The Refurbishment Process

All of Soma’s refurbished equipment goes through a meticulous and strenuous process to ensure that it arrives at the customer in pristine condition and working order. First, our procurement team sources the best products from healthcare facilities. Next, these products arrive and are tested and evaluated by trained biomedical engineers. Once these products pass inspection, they are outfitted with any replacement parts from our very large Parts Department of spare original equipment manufacturer parts.  Next, the unit is brought to our special cosmetics team. The medical equipment cosmetic department sands, paints, cleans and attaches new stickers and decals so the piece of equipment resembles how it did when it originally left its manufacturer. After cosmetics, the unit is brought back to the biomedical engineers who do another quality inspection. The units are then sent to our in-house shipping department and are ready to be packaged and shipped to your facility for immediate use.
