Not all ultrasound replacement parts are created equal. Using non-manufacture original parts is not only dangerous, its irresponsible. One way that some independent service companies control cost and improve their margins is to use "manufacture equal" parts. This creates a problem in that your ultrasound system is not running with parts that have been validated by the original manufacture. Ultimately, this could compromise not only other parts inside your ultrasound system, but the actual imaging performance. Sono Solutions is not willing to take that risk with your patient care. You, your patients, and the industry deserve the absolute best quality possible, and that is why we only use factory replacement ultrasound parts. We take tremendous pride in providing NEW and Refurbished replacement parts, so much so that we do not distinguish between NEW and Refurbished ultrasound parts by providing the same warranty on either item.
Many of these ultrasound parts are in fact repairable, which is why we prefer to invest in the repair side of replacement parts, down to the component level. We do this because it allows us to control not only our cost, but the cost that is passed on to our clients. Not all ultrasound replacement parts are repairable, and as such, we replenish
our inventory with parts purchased directly from the original equipment manufacture. There is a myth in the industry that the OEM's only sell new ultrasound parts, and this just is not true. OEM's use companies like Sono Solutions to perform ultrasound parts and probe repair functions for them as well. They offer these parts to the industry at "exchange" prices and these ultrasound parts are classified as "Refurbished" When you work with us, you cut out the middle-man, and save those costs.
Quality processes are critical when repairing these high-tech ultrasound replacement parts. It is critical that you choose a parts vendor that you can trust. Sono Solutions operates under some of the most stringent quality processes in the industry, and we do this to ensure that the quality of our Refurbished ultrasound replacement parts are reliable and consistent.
