TechNavio today launched its report, Remanufactured Medical Imaging Devices Market in the US 2012-2016, based on an in-depth analysis exclusively focusing on the US. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Healthcare team said: ”The remanufacturing of medical imaging devices is an eco-friendly practice. It prevents landfill and minimizes disposal and pollution burden. Remanufacturing programs have enabled hospitals to divert tons of waste from local landfills. Many vendors in the market are marketing their remanufactured and refurbished devices as eco-friendly and economical products. For instance, Siemen Healthcare has an eco-line portfolio, which includes a wide range of refurbished medical systems. Furthermore, Practice Greenhealth helps healthcare organizations implement and expand eco-friendly and sustainable practices.”
According to the report, remanufacturing of medical imaging device helps in reducing the total healthcare cost. According to the Medical and Imaging Technology Alliance (MITA) Report in 2011, Medicare reimbursements for medical imaging procedures have been cut eight times in six years. This has affected the spending on and utilization of medical imaging services by people in the US. This decline in utilization is reflected across all imaging technologies: CT, MRI, nuclear imaging, ultrasound, and X-ray. Consequently, in order to decrease the cost of medical imaging, many hospitals and diagnostic centers are installing remanufactured medical imaging devices.
Further, the report reveals that one of the major challenges is the safety issues associated with medical imaging devices.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
