California Medical & Scientific at Government Auction

Q: How do I know if medical equipment from a government auction is certified or functional?

Government agencies are required to provide condition descriptions and often include maintenance records. Many auctions note whether equipment is in working condition, needs repair, or is sold as-is. You can contact the selling agency directly through the auction platform before bidding to ask about specific certifications, testing results, or operational history. Some items may require recertification for clinical use depending on your application.
