Refurbishing Process
Our process from used medical equipment to high-quality refurbished medical equipment: The Siemens Proven Excellence Program
The Siemens Proven Excellence program with environment-friendly procedures is much more than getting used medical equipment into working condition. It goes well beyond simple quality control to provide performance and new life expectancy to systems refurbished by the original manufacturer with today‘s most-up-to-date original equipment manufacturer spare parts and software.
