Learn the truth about owning versus renting

• Realize Huge Savings

Most of the hospitals could use the laser rental money to pay off their own laser in less than 12 months. Lumenis, along with your GPO partner, has several purchasing options available that will help your hospitals turn lost dollars into a sustainable, positive cash flow. Hospitals in your organization are finding significant savings by changing from renting to owning and are using these funds to expand their business. A simple Return on Investment (ROI) analysis from your local Lumenis Area Sales Manager will illustrate the significant savings and improved cash flow by owning a laser.

Per the ANSI Z136.1, Z136.3 standard, every hospital must have someone to accept the role of overseeing laser safety. Many rental companies offer to provide a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) at no additional costs. This may sounds like a great way to save time and headaches. In reality, when hospitals accept the rental company’s offer to cover their LSO needs, the hospitals relinquish the control measures that safeguard their patients and staff to a rental technician.

“When you accept the laser rental company’s offer to cover your LSO needs, you have given the rental company the authority to run your operating room for all laser procedures…..If an incident occurs, the hospital needs to feel confident in the rental company’s ability to defend the actions of the facility in a litigious situation. The liability of appointing someone outside the facility to cover the compliance requirements cannot be underestimated.”
