‘Healthcare for all’ being the buzzword, India is gearing up to revamp our abysmal healthcare scenario in a way it can reach to the poorest citizens in the nooks & corners of the country. If these proposed healthcare reforms come into fruition, the country that is already in the second gear as the fourth largest market for medical devices in Asia, will witness a rapid acceleration and outgrow the estimated figures of $50 billion before 2025. The refurbished medical equipment sector, which currently contributes to nearly20 percent of the overall medical equipment sales, is expected to play a major role in realizing this universal healthcare mission. Needless to say, the refurbished segment offers the apparent cost/price advantage, which allows even a small-scale diagnostic centre in a tier-3 city to own a latest technology equipment and provide advanced treatment without spending a large amount of money (often helps save 40 percent of the cost vis-à-vis a brand-new equipment).
However, ensuring a flawless refurbishment process is no mean feat, as it demands immense knowledge. Established in 2010 by Sanjiv Goyal (Managing Director, Alliance Meditech), who has more than thirty-five years of experience in the Medical Equipment industry, Alliance Meditech, is one such firm possessing vast expertise in this area. “With a well-trained service team & ample stock of spare parts, we are striving our best to provide quality service at reasonable prices to installed base of GE refurbished CT scanners & GE installed base with best possible uptime often exceeding 95 percent uptime,” adds Sanjiv. Spearheaded by a highly experienced team of professionals having long presence in diagnostic imaging industry, its team has deep understanding of the needs of the clinicians as well as service providers. “We have invested in areas where normally service companies are unable to invest. We are one of the select few companies in India which provides such a broad range of support to service companies as well as end users at the same time,” avows Sanjiv.
The element that singles out Alliance Meditech as a trustworthy partner to rely on is the hefty investments the company has made in garnering a large stock of spares, which it replenishes continuously to ensure the availability of most of the parts in stock all the time. As a commitment to quality, this ISO 9001 certified company never lets its finger slip off from the market pulse, and constantly enhances its products’ reliability and the processes to identify & address the problems the market is going through.
Wide Array of Solutions
Understandably, the high value diagnostic imaging equipment forms the largest portion (36 percent) of the refurbished medical devices pie. Hence, over the years, Alliance Meditech has developed immense expertise in offering refurbished CT Scanners, CT X-Ray tubes, spare parts and after-sales service for imaging equipment like GE CT scanners. Striving to cover every angle in the segment to make the servicing process of CT Scanner easy and cost effective, the company supports clinicians & service companies for service of CT Scanners, replacement parts & CT X-Ray tubes, and training of engineers on newer models.
The company is no novice in handling Digital X-Ray upgrades, High Frequency X-Ray generators, mammography systems and C-Arm
systems either. In fact, Alliance Meditech is the first (and perhaps the only) independent company in the Indian X-Ray components market to be involved in the tube loading business. The company has established a highly sophisticated tube load station in collaboration with Varian Medical Systems, a renowned U.S. based manufacturer of X-Ray tubes & OEM supplier catering to customers worldwide. Utilizing inserts and parts sourced from Varian, Alliance Meditech assembles a wide range of CT tubes following the procedures laid out by Varian, with care and precision as abroad and offers tubes with the same warranties asimported tubes. Additionally, customers can get their warranty problems resolved locally instead of shipping tubes abroad for warranty replacement. “We are stocking a wide range of popular X-Ray tubes for CT Scanners in our inventory to ensure quick delivery and shorter turnaround downtime,” adds Sanjiv.
"The prime mission of Alliance Meditech revolves around creating an atmosphere for development of a high-quality all-India sales & service network to provide a dependable and cost-effective alternative to Indian imaging community"
Having invested in large stock of spare parts for GE CT scanners, Alliance Meditech has more than 3,000 spare parts for CT Scanners in its stock, which includes GE Sytec Series, GE Hispeed Series, GE Light speed Series and GE Bright speed series. “We are constantly adding more variety of parts to our stock. When we don’t have a part in stock, we leverage the relationship we have been nurturing with several international companies to find the parts from these suppliers. We do our best to meet our customer’s requirements to the best possible extent,”proclaims Sanjiv.
Ensuring Rigorous Testing via Hi-tech Infrastructure
The root cause of Alliance Meditech’s success lies in its well-designed custom-built staging and storage facility sprawling across 30,000 sq.ft in Bhopal. The six test bays complete with X-Ray protection & air-conditioning where six machines can be staged simultaneously. All machines procured by Alliance Meditech are checked & tested thoroughly and all deficiencies are rectified to ensure that every function in the equipment is working properly and meets OEM specifications. Every equipment undergoes a rigorous testing process spanning around 100 man-hours. Once the testing is completed, the equipment is cleaned, cosmetics condition is restored to look like new, after which it is packed and is ready for shipment to the customer site. “The whole process takes 8-10 working days. A meticulous testing and refurbishing process means that the chance for any problems during installation at customer site is extremely rare, not to mention the fact that it helps in faster installation as well as fewer breakdowns after installation,” delineates Sanjiv.
Alliance Meditech has invested in a state-of-the-art PCB repair facility, equipped with Automated Test Equipment’s like in circuit IC tester for PCBs fault finding, reballing system for Microprocessor soldering, SMD work stations and many other test and repair tools for repair of all kinds of PCBs. Its highly experienced PCB repair team ensures that the company is capable of repairing a wide variety of parts and constantly restock its inventory with critical parts. All of its parts are tested on working CT machines which have been specially installed just to test parts after repair to check its functionality.
