As EMTs and first responders continue to meet demands for increasing emergency care calls, the need for additional medical equipment also rises. When evaluating options for additional or replacement equipment, it’s important to remember that purchasing new biomedical equipment is not the only option. There are times when refurbished biomedical equipment can be an ideal solution, especially when budgets are tighter.

At Coast Biomedical Equipment, we offer both new and refurbished biomedical equipment options. Each option offers benefits for healthcare providers to consider before making their decisions.

The Importance of the Refurbished Market

The demand for refurbished medical equipment is on the way up and is expected to grow 5.5% CAGR over the coming years to reach a value of $718.92 billion by 2029. Organizations need to have access to enough equipment to meet needs whether they have a substantial budget or a limited one.

Key Considerable for Buying Refurbished and New Equipment 

Before making your next biomedical equipment purchase, consider the following factors.

• Cost-effectiveness: Refurbished materials cost less. As EMT shortages continue, trimming back costs to boost incentives may be critical. These refurbished components may cost 10 to 30% less than new biomedical equipment.
• Quality: New equipment meets current FDA requirements and should operate properly without fail. In many situations, buying the highest quality matters. If purchasing refurbished devices, ensure they are tested and guaranteed to be in like-new condition.
• Warranties: New equipment generally has a warranty from the manufacturer, while refurbished equipment may have a warranty from the seller. At Coast Biomedical Equipment, all of our products–new or refurbished–come with at least a 12-month warranty, reducing your risks.

The lower cost of refurbished biomedical equipment makes it desirable; however, for heavy-use components, purchasing new equipment may be beneficial due to the enhanced warranty and quality. Either way, whether you purchase new or refurbished equipment, Coast Biomed guarantees quality with a reliable warranty.
