Get more from selling used medical equipment with the leading medical auction sellers

Financial challenges are driving health systems to get more value from their medical equipment. Health systems often focus on strategic planning of capital purchases, extending equipment’s useful life, and improving the utilization of clinical assets. But even aging and surplus equipment can hold untapped value for health systems by selling for cash returns.  

Selling used medical equipment can present its own obstacles for health systems to execute alone. Time spent finding buyers, storage space taken up by unsold equipment, and expenses for logistics & transportation add a significant burden to clinical operations. By partnering with the right medical auction seller, health systems and other providers can simplify the complexity and reduce the costs of dispositioning their equipment, taking better advantage of their surplus value.

To assist us in determining the required truck size for pick up, we ask that you provide photos of the collected items, not necessarily individual items, but of the area where they are stored. If needed, a Centurion representative may be able to come on site to assist in creating an inventory list of assets ready for pick up. The list of assets and photos may be uploaded on the Seller Portal at the Contact Centurion > Request Pick Up link, emailed to pickup@centurionservice.com, or contact your regional account manager.

What is the timing from when I submit the request to the pick up date?

Equipment is typically picked up between 7 and 10 business days.

How do I ensure the pick up will be cash positive?

Most pick ups will be cash positive. Here are some tips to ensure your pick up is cash positive: accumulate as many assets as possible from all applicable departments. Consolidate all assets in one area, if possible, to minimize time on site retrieving and loading assets. Please provide reasonable lead time between request and pick up. Remember that Centurion Service Group does not pick up, remove, or sell office or waiting room furniture and IT equipment.

Do the assets need to be prepared in a specific way for the pick up?

Please consolidate the items in a single area, to the best of your ability, to minimize disruption to your operations and for a more efficient pick up.

Who picks up and loads the equipment I am selling?

It is Centurion Service Group's responsibility to load the trucks. This may be a Centurion truck and staff, or it may be a contracted third party vetted by Centurion. It is the customer's responsibility to identify which assets should be loaded and included in the pick up.

Do I need to be present during the pick up?

It is recommended that the person requesting the pick up, or a delegate with knowledge of the equipment to be sent to Centurion, be present to ensure the correct items are picked up.

Joint Commission is scheduled to visit our facility soon and I need to prepare for it by removing surplus equipment from my facility.

Contact us to schedule a pick up.

Can Centurion Service Group provide extra resources to manage larger scale projects?

Yes. For larger-scale projects like warehouse cleanouts, closures, reallocations, etc., Centurion Service Group will quote the estimated required resources and a scope of work for approval prior to engaging in the project.

Should we remove asset tags or preventative maintenance (PM) tags from the equipment prior to the pick up?

No. Please leave the asset tags and PM tags on the equipment.

What happens if the proceeds from the sale don't cover the transportation costs?

Based on the specific items in a pick up, there is a chance the shared transportation cost may exceed the shared proceeds. Centurion Service Group will work with you on a quarterly and annual basis to analyze the financial benefits of recurring vs. individual pick ups.

How does Centurion Service Group decide whether the imaging room is sellable or should be scrapped?

Centurion looks at the following: manufacturer and model, date of manufacture, operational vs. non-operational, and MRI/CT: software level 

How much time do you need to list, sell, and remove imaging rooms?

The typical time from listing to removal is between 30 and 60 days from the time we receive complete information about the device. However, there are some exceptions, including: if you have a specific removal timeline based on installation date of a new device, delays from the supplier or installer of the new device, or an urgent request to sell and remove the device in less than 30 days. This may be possible; however, it typically results in a lower return without enough time to market the sale.

How does Centurion Service Group provide me with information about my assets sent to auction and value returned?

Centurion customers can access this information on the Seller Portal, which provides transparent and detailed information on every asset picked up, inventoried, photographed, and sold, including post-auction settlement statements. The Seller Portal also has a dashboard with filters to evaluate all assets picked up and sold throughout the history of the relationship. The Seller Portal sits on our inventory management system which allows for real-time visibility.

Where can I see the inventory of assets picked up from my site?

You can view the inventory of assets in the seller portal. Assets are typically available on the seller portal between 7 and 10 business days following pick up.

I am ready to proceed with the sale of the imaging room (X-ray, Cath Lab, CT, MRI, etc.). Who should fill out the spec sheet, and is there anything else you need?

The spec sheet needs to be filled out by the technician assigned to the device and then sent to your regional account manager for review. Additionally, several good photos of the device should be sent as well. If requested, Centurion Service Group will send a representative on site to assist in the completion of the spec sheet. Costs associated with this visit will be deducted from your proceeds of the sale of the asset.

Please refer to the map and contact details below to connect with your regional account manager.

When will I be paid for items sold at auction?

Settlements will be sent out within 45 days following the close of an auction.

How does Centurion Service Group determine where to send mobile equipment for warehouse auctions?

Centurion bases the decision on the following factors: Availability of internal or third-party trucking carriers in the area, the urgency to meet the customer’s request, and transportation cost comparison. Additional factors may apply such as weather, road conditions, etc.

    • External visual inspection
    • Functional inspection (battery replacement, if appropriate)
    • Electrical safety test
    • Confirmation of the last Preventive Maintenance completed (if available)
    • Verification of time under professional biomedical management (if available)

What value does Centurion Verified provide to buyers of surplus medical equipment?

Buyers of Centurion Verified equipment may feel confident and assured knowing that the used medical equipment they are purchasing has undergone a limited inspection and has been verified by a certified biomedical engineer following an approved verification protocol.

Is there an additional cost to purchase Centurion Verified equipment?

There is no additional cost to purchase Centurion Verified equipment. However, due to higher demand, Centurion Verified equipment may fetch a higher auction price.

Is all medical equipment eligible for the Centurion Verified program?

  • The Centurion Verified program applies to the following categories of medical equipment:
    • Anesthesia systems
    • C-Arms and mobile XR systems
    • Defibrillators
