Quality Assurance
Eight steps from arrival to delivery.
Refurbished medical equipment is only as reliable as the process behind it. Here is exactly what we do to every unit before it ships.
- 01
Procurement & inspection
Equipment is sourced from US/UK/EU asset disposition channels, hospital decommissioning programs, and trusted regional suppliers. Every incoming unit is logged, photographed, and inspected for completeness, model accuracy, and obvious damage before it enters the refurbishment line.
- 02
Cleaning & decontamination
All exterior surfaces, internal channels, and patient-contact components are cleaned and decontaminated according to manufacturer protocols. Endoscopes and surgical instruments receive enzymatic cleaning and high-level disinfection before any further work.
- 03
Functional testing
Each system is powered up and run through its full functional spec — image quality on endoscopy towers, illumination output on light sources, vapor delivery on anesthesia vaporizers, image acquisition on imaging systems. Faults are logged for parts replacement.
- 04
Repair & parts replacement
Failed components are replaced with OEM or OEM-equivalent parts. Wear items — gaskets, seals, batteries, lamps, fan filters, contrast tubing — are renewed regardless of measured condition. Boards are repaired or swapped to bring the unit to current revision where applicable.
- 05
Calibration to OEM specifications
Calibration is performed against the manufacturer's published specification using calibrated test equipment. Output power, flow rates, pressure thresholds, image fidelity metrics, and electrical safety values are all measured and recorded. Any unit that cannot meet OEM spec is rejected.
- 06
Cosmetic restoration
Cabinets are cleaned, scuffs touched up, displays polished, accessories complete-set verified. The unit looks the part — because hospital staff trust equipment that looks well-cared-for.
- 07
Re-test under load
After all repairs and calibrations, the system is run again under sustained load — extended power-on periods, full-spec workflow simulation. This catches intermittent faults that bench tests miss and confirms thermal and electrical stability.
- 08
Documentation & final QA sign-off
A documented refurbishment record is produced for every unit: incoming inspection report, parts replaced, calibration certificate with measured values, electrical safety test results, and final QA sign-off. The customer receives this documentation at delivery.
