Drivers for equipment planning

The Need Be it a new project or an existing one, need drives the purchase of medical equipment. The need is known from the medical practitioners, the end users of the equipment. Depending on the patient flow, the demand for the equipment increases, which in turn creates a necessity for the equipment.

The Technology The second main driver in the purchase of equipment is the technology. In recent years, the healthcare industry is witnessing rapid growth, especially in research and development. Newer equipment is regularly introduced in the market with additional features and better technology. "Sometimes, the same equipment can be upgraded to the new technology by adding additional software,

The Service The next important aspect is the service rendered by manufacturers and vendors, both within the warranty period and afterwards. If the hospital is in a town or rural area, the proximity to the service centre should be considered.

The Price The equipment with best price is ultimately bought. "Best price doesn't mean the lowest price We analyze the price based on various factors like software and hardware package, technical specifications, after sales support, warranty and so on cost alone cannot be seen as critical for purchase. The quality of the product should meet our standards,

Training To keep oneself abreast of the latest technology is very important. To have excellent equipment but no skilled manpower to utilize it is as good as not procuring at all. "When it comes to training, we expect the vendor or manufacturer to assist technicians

Guidelines Required USFDA is one governing body that prescribes guidelines on equipment manufacturing. These guidelines are widely accepted in most countries including India. Other widely accepted certifications are ISO (International Organization for Standards), IEC (International Electro technical Committee) and CE certification from European Union. "These certifications are for the quality of the equipment.
