With the advent of DRG's, HMO's and the prospective payment system, medical institutions are forced to seek every alternative for cost savings. The expense of new capital equipment has come under microscopic scrutiny. SMC is able to offer the flexibility of longer equipment life through refurbishing existing equipment systems, as well as adding new technical dimensions through upgrade options where possible.
Based upon client's needs and financial requirements, SMC is capable of acquiring used equipment, reconstructing it to the original specifications and providing for installation. This allows for a cost savings of about 50% to 80% compared to new systems. On such acquisitions, SMC provides a six (6) month warranty and long-term commitment to service through annual contracts.
