Businesses everywhere are looking for ways to reduce their costs, and the medical imaging industry is no exception. So, I wanted to take a moment to explain how buying medical imaging parts from DirectMed Imaging is different than buying from other companies in hopes that you can experience long-term savings and better serve your clients and patients.
My father was an engineer at Siemens for 18 years prior to starting Technical Prospects in 1997 out of his home. Today, we continue to build upon that level of expertise from our 70,000 square foot facility in both the breadth of parts that we carry and the thorough service and support that accompanies them.
Downtime is an Imaging Engineer’s Worst Enemy
Finding an inexpensive part online might be exciting at first, but it’s important to consider what isn’t provided by that vendor if something goes wrong. A part arriving at your facility DOA means downtime, and if your machine isn’t running, that means patients aren’t getting the scans they need, and the facility loses that income. In this scenario, the cost of a bad part can go far beyond the number on the price tag.
Before you’re tempted to buy a part based on price alone, ask yourself what will happen if the part arrives DOA? How quickly will that vendor respond? Will their replacement part work or will it also arrive DOA? Can you risk receiving a DOA part and incurring multiple days of downtime while you wait for a replacement part?
