No matter how well-maintained equipment is, over time and with use it is going to wear out and become less reliable or even unsafe. Before stress testing equipment reaches this stage, replacing the system components will be an important consideration in any facility.
When replacing or upgrading to a newer model a more user-friendly option is always a great idea. By choosing a reconditioned Quinton treadmill to replace an old treadmill there is the option to have a newer style and also a more advanced design. With refurbished treadmills, you can enjoy the full features and functionality of a new treadmill but a much lower cost.
What to Consider
In addition to price, there are several other advantages to a Quinton treadmill over other options available. This company has been producing quality stress testing equipment for over 30 years and their equipment is found in most stress test labs and facilities across the country.
The Quinton system allows for easy integration of a new Quinton treadmill with an existing system. These are fully digitally controlled treadmills which means the technician has full control over the speed, grade and the start and stop functions. This provides optimum testing parameters for adjusting the treadmill with just the touch of a button.
The treadmill is also designed to start up very evenly and slowly, even when testing patients weighing up to 500 pounds. This is an important consideration as this feature is not only as safety factor but also provides optimal results which can be very difficult to obtain for some patients using other types of treadmills.
Maintenance
One of the reasons that the Quinton brand is so recognized as a top stress testing treadmill is its low maintenance requirements. The complete design of the treadmill is very streamlined and the number of moving parts to the design is minimal.
In addition, the drive motor and moving parts are contained within the base of the treadmill, protecting the components from exposure to dust, lint, moisture and other possible harmful materials.
There are different models available for the Quinton line of treadmills. Choosing the right one for a specific facility will be a factor of the patients served and the demands for testing. Compare features and options and also look carefully at the price to see why a reconditioned treadmill may be the best possible decision for your next purchase.
