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.

In 5 steps from used medical equipment to Proven Excellence Quality

The excellent quality of our systems is based on an in-depth refurbishing process that all used medical equipment undergo as part of our Proven Excellence program.

This process ensures compliance with Siemens’ high quality standards and also allows us to incorporate innovative Siemens technology.

After completion of the refurbishing process the systems are given our Proven Excellence quality seal. This seal represents the fulfillment of the strict specifications of relevant international norms and standards as well as security regulations.

An ecoline success story

Learn about the benefits of used medical equipment

"Used instead of new equipment saves us costs of almost 30 percent. This enables us to offer our patients a comprehensive range of high technical performance and diagnostic capabilities."
Steffen Klengel, MD,
Director, Medical Care Center (MCC)
RadCom GmbH, Riesa, Germany

Steffen Klengel, MD, head of the Medical Care Center RadCom GmbH, in Riesa, Germany, is the first Siemens customer worldwide to have ordered a magnetic resonance system (MRI), a MAGNETOM^® Symphony, that has been refurbished through a new scalable refurbishment offering. Using this process, he was able to choose specifically which refurbishment options he wanted, and which he did not, for his new purchase.

Sustainability

Taking responsibility for the world around us is part of our daily work and daily business.
We make it easy for our customers to integrate the green concept in their daily work as well: Reduce CO₂ emissions with a Siemens refurbished medical system.
Join our green initiative.

Sustainable Impact for the Environment

The Proven Excellence process leads to a reduction of 20,000 tons of CO₂ per year. This equates to the electric power consumption of approximately 5,700 households or the CO₂ storage of around 32 hectares of tropical rain forest

But we wanted to go even further and have launched the Proven Excellence Sustainable Impact program to double the reduction of CO₂ emissions. The program aims to reforest 32 hectares of rain forest. Within the framework of the initiative we are planting trees for every sold Proven Excellence system in cooperation with WWF Indonesia and its NEWtrees Replanting Initiative.

Economy, efficiency, health care and social responsibility, all backed by Siemens unique Proven Excellence Sustainable Impact program.

Proven Excellence Sustainable Impact, set up to reduce energy consumption and pollution, aims at sustainable and careful use of resources. Furthermore, the impact on CO₂ reduction will nearly double through reforestation.

Our Proven Excellence Sustainable Impact is part of Siemens' overall 'Green+ Hospitals' program.
