One major decision to make is if to purchase a new or used\/refurbished Linac and determining which will offer the best benefits long term. Depending on your situation sometimes a new Linac is required but most often a refurbished option will work perfectly, allowing you to save money as well. Below, are a few reasons to choose a refurbished linear accelerator for your next purchase.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Fewer Patients Being Treated<\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nIf your company is new or smaller in size, purchasing a refurbished Linac <\/a>could be very beneficial. Pre-owned or refurbished Linac\u2019s cost less and have lower monthly lease payments than choosing new equipment. Having fewer than 8 to 10 patients a day is generally considered a small medical facility. With fewer patients equals less money to help cover the costs of equipment fees so taking it low and slow maybe a better business option to guarantee that your clinic continues to grow at a steady pace, allowing quality and effective treatments for all patients. Veterinarian clinics or research facilities may also benefit from a refurbished Linac as they generally do not require all the advanced technologies provided in newer models. The use of linear accelerators may not always be for medical use; instead for industrial uses to image materials.\r\n\r\n \r\n

\u00a0Operating with Only One Linac or Want a Backup<\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\nOften a dilemma will arise when a company is moving into a new location and cannot afford to have a machine down during the relocation process, which can take about 3 to 4 weeks for the transition. An option to avoid this situation is to purchase a refurbished replacement that is like the existing equipment and have it installed in the new location. Once the new facility is complete and open for business, the patients can receive treatment with the newly refurbished equipment and you can either keep the original linear accelerator as a backup or sell it. This solution prevents companies from losing patients from a lack of available machines.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Other Factors to Consider in Budget<\/h4>\r\n \r\n\r\nPurchasing a used or new linear accelerator is only the first step in getting the proper equipment setup for your business. Other services that should be researched with your Linac is the warranty, service and maintenance plans<\/a>. This information will help you decipher which options are best for your facility and meet your needs. Also, remember to consider the costs of equipment removal and disposal. The purchasing and planning process of linacs can be very overwhelming which is why choosing the right company for the job is key for a successful addition\/upgrade to your facility.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRadparts is the world\u2019s largest independent distributor of\u00a0OEM replacement parts for Linear Accelerators and Radiation Oncology equipment<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Radparts provides high quality, user friendly, low cost\u00a0parts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0support<\/a>\u00a0for linear accelerators and radiation equipment.
