Medical equipment purchasing questions
Questions for clinical teams, operating room nurses, biomedical engineers and procurement staff when reviewing models and requesting quotations.
Questions for clinical and procurement teams
Start with documented information, then confirm the requirements for your selected model.
01Can positioning accessories be used with another brand of table or chair?
Compatibility needs a model-specific review. Provide the make, model, rail dimensions and proposed clamp. The leg holder catalog shows clamp G13ZX325202. Confirm the rail dimensions and complete mounting configuration before ordering.
02What should we request when assessing C-arm compatibility?
Request tabletop material, radiolucent imaging area, travel range and drawings or images showing C-arm access for the offered model. Provide the required imaging positions and C-arm model for technical review.
03What should we review when selecting stirrups or leg holders?
Compare support configuration, adjustment range, dimensions, load limits and mounting components for each model. The clinical team should review suitability with the instructions for use. Request the manufacturer’s support configuration information and use limitations.
04Where can we confirm cushion properties and cleaning instructions?
Request model-specific cushion material documentation and cleaning instructions so infection control staff can review the specified agents and methods. Include any requirements for pressure redistribution or anti-static properties in the inquiry and request model-specific evidence.
05Are patient load capacity and safe working load interchangeable?
Use the manufacturer’s stated definition and conditions. The leg holder catalog lists a 200 kg patient load capacity for three versions; this is not a one-holder load rating or the safe working load of a complete table system. Request model-specific table ratings and positioning conditions.
06Do electric tables include a backup battery?
Confirm whether the offered model includes a battery, its charging requirements and adjustment capability during a power interruption. Include the required operating cycles or conditions in your quotation request.
07How do we request ISO 13485, Thai FDA, MiT or tender documents?
Send the model and required document list to sales for review of current editions, certificate holder, scope and expiry. Certificate images in the company overview reflect that document and do not establish MiT, CE or IEC 60601 compliance for every model.
08Can we discuss demonstrations, training and delivery schedules?
Provide the model, hospital, location and desired timing through the contact form. The team can review demonstration or training arrangements and project delivery timing. Confirm these details in the quotation or agreement before ordering.
09What should we confirm about warranty, spare parts and preventive maintenance?
Request written terms for the offered model and contract, including covered components, duration, exclusions, parts charges, PM schedule and response times. Ensure clinical and maintenance teams have the same agreed terms.
