You want to expand your urology practice to imaging and you did a lot of research in terms of the equipment. You talked to experts from engineers, to sales executives, to other physicians. You did side by side comparisons of the outstanding Hydra Vision Plus from Liebel Flarsheim and the OEC 2800 UroView from GE and made a final decision. After ample consideration you feel that what’s best for your practice is the OEC 28000 from GE and you want to move on.
Your decision is made but you want to double check a few things so you want a full breakdown of what your investment is getting you. In that breakdown you want every spec you can think of down to the very last tech term. You have someone that’s going to go over it with you and answer any questions that you may have, your sales person, who should be armed with knowledge and backed by expertise.
