Refurbished machines
We supply refurbished dialysis machines to registered facilities only, with clear records and practical support from first enquiry to installation. Each machine is prepared for facility use, documented properly and handed over on site by a technician.
Refurbished machines for registered facilities
This section covers our refurbished dialysis machines for renal units, hospitals and clinics across South Africa. We do not supply to the public. From our base in Kempton Park near OR Tambo, we arrange delivery and installation for registered facilities that need a reliable machine with traceable paperwork and practical after-sales support.
Refurbished does not mean guessing what you are receiving. Before a machine is offered, it is rebuilt, checked, tested and documented so the receiving facility can review its service history file. That matters when you are planning room allocation, maintenance scheduling and internal sign-off. It also helps the unit manager and technical team know exactly what is arriving, and what support follows after hand-over.
What is included with each machine
Every machine supplied through Dialysis Machine Exchange goes out with the same core support items. The aim is to keep procurement simple and make hand-over easier for the receiving unit.
- Service history file supplied with the machine
- Technician hand-over at the facility after delivery
- Parts support for ongoing maintenance requirements
- Coordination with the facility on access, positioning and timing
- Clear confirmation that supply is for a registered facility only
We keep the process practical. If your unit has loading bay limits, restricted access hours or municipal delivery rules for hospital campuses, those details should be raised early so delivery can be planned properly. In coastal areas, storage conditions and humidity should also be discussed before arrival, especially if a machine will not be commissioned on the same day.
How to choose the right machine route
Some facilities know exactly what they need, while others are deciding between an outright refurbished purchase, a rental arrangement or a trade-in against existing equipment. This page is the starting point for the refurbished machine route, but your choice often depends on timing, budgets and the state of machines already on site.
- Choose refurbished purchase if your facility wants a machine placed into long-term use with full documentation from day one.
- Choose rental if you need temporary capacity during maintenance periods, overflow demand or unit changes.
- Choose rent to own if procurement timing is tight but your facility wants a planned path toward ownership.
- Choose trade-in if you need to replace current machines and want valuation taken into account.
If your unit is comparing options internally, start by checking your approval route, available floor space, water and electrical readiness, and the expected placement period. That usually narrows the choice fairly quickly.
What to compare before you place an order
Facilities often compare machines only by immediate availability, but that is only one part of the decision. A better comparison is to look at support, records and site readiness together.
- Documentation: Ask whether the machine is supplied with a service history file.
- Hand-over: Confirm whether a technician will attend the facility and complete the hand-over on site.
- Parts support: Check what support is available after installation.
- Delivery planning: Consider whether your unit has lift access, ramps, stairs or restricted receiving times.
- Power conditions: Flag unstable supply, backup power arrangements and any generator switchover concerns early.
- Storage conditions: If the machine will stand before use, note heat, dust and coastal moisture exposure.
This sort of comparison helps avoid delays later. A machine may be suitable on paper, but if the unit is not ready to receive it or the receiving team has not reviewed the service file, commissioning can be slowed down for no good reason.
Our refurbishment and testing process
Each refurbished machine goes through a structured preparation process before it is listed or allocated. We separate the refurbishment work from the delivery hand-over so the facility receives a machine that has already been through inspection, rebuild work where needed, testing and document preparation. That record stays important after delivery because technical teams often need a clear paper trail for internal asset files.
If you want to see the process in more detail, the pages in this section explain how we refurbish a machine and how service history files are kept. Those pages are useful for procurement teams, biomedical support staff and unit managers who need a clearer view of what sits behind the word refurbished. It keeps expectations practical and avoids misunderstandings later on.
Delivery and installation across South Africa
We work from Kempton Park and coordinate supply to registered facilities around the country. Delivery planning is done with the receiving facility so access, timing and installation conditions are confirmed before the machine leaves. For sites near OR Tambo, turnaround can be simpler, but we also plan for long-distance deliveries to inland and coastal locations.
Before delivery, make sure your facility has confirmed receiving contact details through the enquiry process, site access instructions and the exact room or unit destination. If your building has parking restrictions, security clearance requirements or limited receiving windows, mention that early. A bit of planning saves time on the day and makes the technician hand-over much smoother, even when site logistics are a bit tight.
