Tips When Purchasing Integrated Diagnostic Systems

By Frank Perry


Diagnosis is used in identifying the character and cause of specific phenomenon with the help of logic, experience and analytics in different disciplines. In medical field, this process determines the disease or condition a person has based on their symptoms and signs. The required information is collected through their physical examination and history.

Various tools are used by doctors in diagnosing patients in finding out their conditions and they might have a difficult time selecting among them when not properly arranged. Fortunately, integrated diagnostic system is available for purchase where basic tools are combined together. Some even have modular options allowing the addition or removal depending on your needs.

If you are a physician and is planning to buy this equipment to be used at your clinic then consider the following things before your decision is finalized. Decide whether you prefer leasing one than purchasing it depending on your finances and needs. Although buying them is normally better because you would be regularly using these tools.

Paying in cash seems like a good option though you may need money to be your working capital and for other expenses with your practice. Getting a loan is another option where you can obtain the equipment via financing. Though remember that these loans have an interest rate included that increases the final price of the product.

Healthcare vendors usually offer contracts for maintenance service and warranty which helps to reduce the expensive cost of services. Medical devices mostly include warranties already so ask them about the options available. Read carefully the contract with all the time you got so you would fully understand all its inclusions.

Plan on where you will be placing the equipment and larger ones usually need to have the area renovated for them to fit. Although this device is not very big but it needs enough wall space for you to attach them specially when several modules are chosen. This should be near also to where the patient will be seated during diagnosis.

Review the delivery process including their installation service for the product that should be on your planned location directly. This includes attaching or placing the device to the wall in the room you prepare that these tools would be used. Inquire on how many days will it be delivered to your clinic in order for you to properly prepare your schedule and be there when it arrives.

Inspect the product and test it before you sign the paper and take ownership of the equipment you ordered. New items usually will not malfunction but checking them immediately is better than to discover them after a few days of being installed. By doing this, you can return it and have it replaced when a defect has been identified.

With the new equipment, you should review the new workflow that you will have including relocating the patients into its room for diagnosis. This is essential specially when the clinic is shared by multiple doctors that might use them also. Create a schedule or system which allows everyone to use it when they need to be diagnosed.
