Patient-Ready vs. Inspected vs. AS-IS
We use three condition grades. Here's how they compare.
Patient-Ready
Fully functional, tested, cleaned. Cosmetic wear documented but no structural issues. Ready for immediate clinical use. 30-day DOA warranty included.
Inspected
Tested and working. Cosmetic wear may be more significant than Patient-Ready. Clearly described in listing. 14-day DOA warranty. Suitable for most clinical settings.
AS-IS
Not tested. Condition unknown. For parts, repair, or experienced buyers who can evaluate the equipment themselves. No warranty. Final sale.
