There are no guarantees when you buy on used equipment on usedHME.com
Buying used medical equipment from private individuals on social media platforms, comes with no guarantees, and you are buying at your own risk. In comparison with a purchase from a licensed reuse center for refurbished medical equipment, you have no idea whether equipment bought from a private individual online is safe to use. Typically, used medical equipment from a reuse center, which refurbishes the equipment, is entirely different – refurbishing is typically done within State guidelines – equipment is checked, repaired if necessary by technicians, sanitized and checked for safety.The equipment pick up
With all these online platforms, where you do not know the seller, it is sensible to have another person accompany you to any meeting to pick up equipment. Don’t have anyone who is selling equipment, that you do not know, deliver to your home, especially if you have an elderly loved one living there. It is best to arrange a meeting at a mall or in the center of your town or village. Stay Safe !!Where else can I buy used medical equipment online near me ?
