All your questions about buying second-hand equipment
All the questions you have about buying second-hand, reconditioned or used equipment.
Why buy refurbished equipment?
Second-hand equipment is still usable! Some practices/clinics want to improve their technical platform and thus part with their old equipment, which is still 100% functional.
Using second-hand products is an economical and ecological gesture:
- You pay up to 70% less for your medical devices, and thus have better control over your budget;
- You allow the extension of the useful life of equipment that can still be used for several years, rather than opting for new. It should be noted that 80% of the environmental impact of a device is linked to its manufacture alone!
What is the difference between used equipment, second-hand equipment and reconditioned equipment?
Used equipment and reconditioned equipment are both called second-hand because they have had a first life.
What differentiates them is the treatment they undergo before being put back on the market.
Refurbished equipment is equipment that has been refurbished with a systematic change of parts, unlike used equipment. At Codeo Medical, all our used devices are sold with a warranty and are tested, cleaned and repaired if necessary before shipping.
Is refurbished equipment more likely to fail than new equipment?
If the device has been properly tested and serviced, there is no reason for it to fail.
The devices are revised, tested and cleaned by our teams before being put back on sale.
What is the average age of the equipment sold by Codeo Medical?
We take back a lot of very recent equipment (demonstration equipment), as well as less recent ones.
Regardless of the year of manufacture, we always take particular care with the devices we offer for sale, to ensure our customers receive impeccable service.
I can't find the equipment I'm looking for. What should I do?
Codeo Medical has a strong network of partners across Europe and can source the equipment you need for you.
We have our own stock, but also equipment awaiting recovery from hospitals or clinics. Do not hesitate to contact us to tell us about your plans to improve your practice!
