Refurbishing Capabilities

Imaging Excellence

Huestis/ARI has been committed to imaging excellence since 1986.  Their exclusively dedicated diagnostic imaging specialists have redefined the business of refurbishing.  Continued growth and success has allowed them to assemble a professional staff uncommon in technical depth.

Their reputation for hands on, right-now service has been unmatched in the refurbishing industry.  Seasoned, professionally trained engineers and technicians are available to provide Huestis ARI's trademark technical assistance.  We stand behind each and every piece of equipment we sell — guaranteed!

People Behind The Pledge

Our ISO 9001 registered facilities and professional staff offer unmatched quality backed by a pledge of excellence.  At Huestis ARI, we say what we do and we do what we say.  Our diagnostic imaging experts, both in the Rhode Island branch and in our Illinois facilities (located near Chicago), offer unmatched quality, performance and reliability.

Each refurbished system is supplied with all necessary electrical, mechanical, and cosmetic upgrades for crisp imaging and better than new operation.  In addition, we furnish each piece of equipment with detailed labeling and complete documentation.

We also have an active membership in IAMERS (International Association of Medical Equipment Remarketers and Servicers), are vendors for NHD (National Health Distributors) and VIP (Vision Imaging Partners), and hold various state and FDA registrations.



Dedicated Facilities

Our main facility in Bristol, Rhode Island, has over 12,000 square feet of space dedicated to our refurbishing process and is specifically designed for our process, employing specialty refurbishing station and ample distribution capabilities, including full staging areas, full prep room, dedicated paint booth and comprehensive replacement parts department.

Our facility in Gilberts, Illinois has approximately 9,500 square feet of space.  This site has twelve (12) staging areas for portable X-ray systems, machine shop and welding areas, and a complete paint prep and paint room area.  Easily expandable, several additional staging areas are readily available to accommodate increased production requirements.

Better Than New

Our refurbished imaging systems are guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.  At forty to sixty percent cost savings over new equipment, we open the door to new opportunities and savings for many facilities.  These savings can be applied elsewhere to bridge the gap to other equipment or technologies like PACS and teleradiology for improved patient care.  Huestis ARI enables large, average and even small facilities to provide current, state-of-the-art diagnostic health care.

More Than a Makeover

Our thoroughly refurbished systems offer much more than a pretty paint job.  Each unit is supplied with all necessary electrical, mechanical, and cosmetic upgrades for crisp imaging and like new operation.  Only after a complete inspection and exacting standards have been met does painting begin.  After surface preparation, textured catalyst paint is applied in a spray booth.  In addition to a complete paint and preparation area, a major part of each facility is devoted entirely to parts inventory.

Complete Compatibility

During system compatibility staging, components are assembled exactly as they would be at your facility.  To ensure absolute accuracy, we design all systems from required blueprints of clinical applications.  All refurbished equipment is guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.  As a further, “eyewitness” check, Huestis invites its customers to inspect their equipment - prior to shipping - at the factory.  In this way, satisfaction is assured even before delivery is taken.

Door-to-Door Control

Controlling shipping dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes to put a system to productive use.  Our fleet delivers equipment anywhere in the USA.  Our International department provides worldwide service.  Once on-site within a hospital or imaging center, Huestis personnel assist with initial installation.  Within six hours of arrival under normal delivery condition, ceiling suspensions are in, tables are on their bases, and cabinets are located in the room ready for wiring.
