Refurbished medical imaging equipment refers to devices that have been repaired, refined, and restored to their original condition without altering the product specifications. This process includes replacing worn or damaged parts with original components, updating software to the latest version, cosmetic enhancements like cleaning and painting, functional checks and repairs, calibration for optimal performance, and testing against original or revised release criteria. The critical difference between refurbished and used equipment lies in the systematic restoration of refurbished devices to meet the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications and safety standards.
