Refurbished Ultrasound Machine Best Buys

Read our reviews of the best refurbished systems for your budget.

You can spend a lot of time reading about ultrasound systems, but you've probably found that it all looks the same out there.

You've read ultrasound pages that contain the same specs, all of which were copied from the manufacturers websites.

Do you get the feeling that those companies have ever turned these machines on?

Chances are, they haven't. But they'll tell you what you want to hear. It's easy: Buy this because it's got better resolution, and its technologies reduce artifacts and improve image quality.

That's nice, but you're not buying eyeglasses. You're buying a piece of capital equipment.

We spend our time with these machines because we provide applications training for every unit we sell. We spend time with people just like you, and talking to us is the best way to find what you want and what you need.

Every ultrasound page includes REAL information based on our experiences, not regurgitated information.

On the following pages, you'll find our reviews on what we consider the best refurbished and new ultrasounds for their respective price/performance ranges. Our reviews are based on our own service experience (frequency of repair, availability of parts, and predicted future performance), applications experience, and feedback and reviews from our customers. Once you've read our ultrasound reviews, please call us and discuss your purchasing thoughts with one of our specialists.

Selecting the best ultrasound machines

Your opinion is the most important consideration in purchasing an ultrasound.

The reviews you'll find on our pages are based upon our experience in using ultrasounds, training sonographers, and working with doctors. Your mileage may vary, so it's important to use the advice on these pages as a starting point. Narrow your choices down and Call Us to finalize the process.

This is the best way to save you time and money. We make it very simple.

What you'll see on our pages are our reviews. We chose systems based on Image Quality, Ease of Use, Reliability, Availability, and Price. Once this list was compiled, we debated, looked at service histories, and talked to our end-users about their thoughts on these ultrasounds. You'll find that ultrasound systems with parts that are increasingly difficult to find (eg: Diasonics, older Biosound, and older Siemens models) were cut from the list. In addition, high cost replacement probes steered us away from some ultrasound systems that may have done well in some categories.

Refurbished Ultrasound Machines: Should You Go Brand New?

Ultrasound machines are some of the most vital medical equipment, vital to any medical clinic, hospital, doctor’s office, and any other type of medical office. Like any other type of medical equipment it will fail when you use it enough and don’t properly maintain it and keep up on things properly. When your equipment goes out or needs to be replaced for any other reason that can be a real problem for you and your business. There are not always enough funds in the reserve to cover the cost of replacing your ultrasound machine with a brand new ultrasound machine, so what do you do? You can’t possibly go without your ultrasound machine as it is one of the most vital pieces of medical equipment on the market today.

Whether or not you know it, refurbished ultrasound machines are a great option for your replacement ultrasound machine. Refurbished ultrasound machines are machines that have been used and returned for any reason and rebuilt with whatever new parts are needed to make the machine run like brand new.

Refurbished ultrasound machines are available at medical supply stores all around the United States; if you work in an area where there is a large hospital or medical center, or a university study hospital or anything else along those lines, you will probably have a better chance of finding more refurbished ultrasounds from brand name buyers, like ATL ultrasound, Acuson ultrasound, Siemens ultrasound and others.

When you buy refurbished ultrasound machines, you are buying ultrasound machines that are of a higher quality than you might expect. Just because something has been used before does not mean that it does not work well. As a matter of fact, if you really consider the idea of refurbished ultrasound equipment in general you will eventually realize that refurbished ultrasound machines are actually a more reliable option than the machines you probably have in your medical office now. After all, they have been reworked and replaced with brand new working parts that are more efficient and practical, that work better and make things easier for you.

Refurbished ultrasounds are also available in later and later, more and more advanced models. In the time that you get your original ultrasound machine and have the need to look into a refurbished one, you might be able to get the top of the line machine that you wished you could have bought last time, for less money than you paid for the original one, and they work like new!
