Upgrading outdated medical equipment can be seen as a safety precaution. Many business owners try to extend and stretch the life of all medical equipment that is used daily due to the high replacement cost. How is your current EKG machine working? Are there frequent lapses in time when it is working? Does your staff complain or make comments specifically about the performance results of your EKG machine? Consider the costs of having to pay full price when the machine is inoperable or in need have repair. It is important to take steps to obtain a new machine before it is needed. Here are a few tips to help you understand if it is time to upgrade your EKG machine.
Avoid in-person high pressure sales tactics of your local sales rep. The local rep that already provides you with office supplies may approach you with an in-office demonstration of an EKG machine. To avoid being embarrassed by the staff, you may accept the offer before doing your full research on saving on the purchase price. The secret motive of the sales rep, of course, is commission. It is important to realize that each EKG machine is different, and the one presented to you may not fully meet the needs of the patients in your practice.
