Medtronic Other Medical & Lab Equipment

Finding Other Medtronic Medical and Lab Equipment on eBay

Whether you're just opening your medical office or looking to upgrade existing equipment, you've likely seen that you can save money by purchasing equipment on eBay. However, if the device you need is unusual, you may be able to find it under "other medical and lab equipment." Here's how to find the Medtronic equipment you need.

Depending on the day you search for it, you may find very different pieces of medical equipment listed on eBay. These are some of the affordable Medtronic machines you're likely to find:

• Automated coagulation timer: This portable machine tests the time it takes for blood to coagulate.
• Urodyn urine flow meter: This device is especially useful in urology offices.
• Hepcon hemostasis management system: This is a complete blood monitoring system for the office or for field work.
• Xomed nerve integrity monitor: This unique device helps keep track of nerve health.
• Cardioblate surgical ablation system: This system can be used in surgeries to regulate heartbeat.

eBay offers you a great opportunity to save money, but it's also important to make sure that you're knowledgeable about each piece of equipment you're looking to buy. Here's what to know about a given piece of new or used Medtronic equipment before purchase:

• Age of the machine: eBay will often have listings for older versions of a given machine. Make sure you know key differences between generations of the type of medical equipment you want.
• Working condition: Check the listing for any information on issues the equipment may have.
• Reason for selling: This isn't necessary to have, but some buyers prefer to know why a piece of medical equipment is being sold.
• Cosmetic appearance: Of course, when it comes to medical equipment, appearance isn't the most important thing. But a machine with extensive wear is something that may reflect poorly on your medical office.

Since any Medtronic lab equipment or medical equipment you buy will be used for patient care, it's important to make sure you get a unit in good condition. If possible, check listing information to see how long the machine has been in use. Many offices will also track any routine or emergency maintenance performed on these machines; check to see if this information is included, too. Any knowledge on the machine's history can help you make your decision.
