Focus on product life cycle.
—Reusing puts the focus on the product’s life cycle.
How many times can you reuse something before the end of its life? Can we possibly repair it? Can we give it a new life?
Since our medical technology requires high-performance materials, in many of the countries we work in, we take back almost all of our products and thus promote a 'circular' economy. By doing this, we create a useful longer lasting life for our products.
Longevity of products through preventive maintenance
Our quality and service network helps our customers to use our equipment for longer - meaning less waste and resources.
36% of our contracted medical devices are older than 10 years. Studies specified ten years as the lifespan of medical equipment, but in fact, the status of the medical equipment defines its age.
We support hospitals with a broad portfolio of services: maximizing uptime by installing and supporting our solutions, managing your medical technology portfolio, training your staff and leveraging the power of data to increase efficiency, reduce risks and drive positive health outcomes.
Product refurbishment
—
We believe in refurbishment of products for even longer use, so we are constantly improving the way we reuse our materials.
Through preventive maintenance we achieve more longevity of products, plus, we support disposal with recycling passes as well as material lists, sketches and dismantling recommendations - in accordance with WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.
