You often get confusion when you think about developing the level of services in your clinic or laboratory, especially adding new devices, so when you decide to buy a device, you must have seen all the options and made many comparisons between the devices available in the market, but here are the most important aspects things to avoid when buying a new device:
Damaged and unusable materials:
Some companies that provide medical and laboratory devices and materials may not take the conditions of storage and control into consideration, when they are stored in an unorganized manner, they may lose the efficiency and effectiveness that give them reliability and high accuracy.
Therefore, you should check the storing method of materials and ensure that all materials and devices are subject to inspection and have been stored in appropriate environmental conditions.
Improperly transported equipment:
One of the most important factors that may affect the efficiency of medical and laboratory devices is the way the device is transported. This type of device is more sensitive to weather, humidity, and heat.
Your eagerness to acquire a new device for your clinic or laboratory must be the same as your keenness to know whether the donor company follows the safety and security rules when transferring the devices, because the damages may not appear at the first inspection, but appear with daily use.
Buying from a regular seller:
Choosing an authorized agent to provide you with medical and laboratory materials and devices will save you a lot of money and fatigue, as the parent companies impose on the authorized agent many conditions related to safety and storage that make them qualified to provide their services with high efficiency.
On the other hand, the authorized dealer has a professional staff that is trained periodically by the parent company to be fully aware of all types of maintenance that the device may require in addition to the availability of all original spare parts.
