The reliability and even reputability of your veterinary clinic is often influenced by the quality of your equipment. Poor quality veterinary equipment can be unreliable and may leave a hole in the care you’re able to provide. If you have a piece of equipment that you aren’t sure is as effective as it once was, here are three signs to look out for that it may be time for a replacement.
- Visible damages. Claws and teeth from angry pets can damage your veterinary equipment. Visible damages are the clearest indicator that equipment needs to be replaced. When your equipment is damaged, it can’t be relied on to be accurate in any of its measurements or potentially even safe to use on future patients.
- Malfunctions. If your equipment shuts off, makes strange noises, or malfunctions in any other way, it’s time for a replacement. Malfunctioning equipment can stop an assessment entirely by hindering your ability to take measurements and perform any necessary tests for your patients. No matter what the nature of your equipment’s malfunction is, it’s best to reach out to our team here at Georgian Anesthesia and Medical Corp. sooner rather than later to address this need.
- Age. Even if outdated equipment seems to be working okay, chances are your older scans and equipment are suffering in other ways. Modern technology improves accuracy and functionality in many ways, so it’s likely that your outdated veterinary equipment is holding you back from being able to provide the best care possible.
