EspañolUsed Vs. Refurbished Equipment
May 2, 2017
There is a significant difference between used and refurbished equipment. Used equipment implies that the equipment comes as is from the previous owner. Used equipment often carries an assumed connotation of being mishandled, damaged, or not functioning correctly. Refurbished equipment is far different and much better. Refurbished equipment is brought to our state-of-the-art facility. Our engineers test and calibrate the equipment to meet the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications. Parts that need to be replaced are readily available, thanks to our extensive inventory of parts, which can be found at somamedicalparts.com. After these pieces are fixed, they are cosmetically enhanced. These devices are sanded, painted, and have new stickers and decals placed on them. Finally, the refurbishment process is complete once they are packaged and ready to ship.
Soma Technology refurbishes a myriad of medical equipment. A comprehensive list of all products can be found here. A video that shows the entire process from start to finish can be watched here. Please comment below, sharing your experiences with refurbished equipment.

It’s interesting that used equipment will often come from the previous owner without any prior checks or guarantees. This could be a great way to get certain things for cheap but also run the risk of them breaking. I’ll have to remember this for my mom because she is in need of some equipment and I think buying new and refurbished pieces would help keep my mind at ease.
Yes! We have a wide selection of medical equipment: https://www.somatechnology.com/!
Yes, you are right. Refurbished medical equipment are far better than the used ones. I also work for a firm that sells used medical equipment in North Carolina, USA. Refurbished medical equipment not only work perfectly like the new ones but also are cheaper than the new ones. Going for Refurbished Medical equipment is a better choice for hospitals that want cost cutting in their medical device purchase.
Exactly! Very good points Zara!
This is absolutely right! I am also working at refurbish medical equipment company in India and such cost cutting machines with same working and warranty like new one is blessing for developing country to reduce cost without compromising with quality. This is always best choice!
Those are very great ideas Aayushi! We are proud that our equipment outfits medical centers in many different countries, and alleviates medical budgets.
