Yes. However, the special promotions that were available when your C-Arm was installed are no longer available. The “adulterated” parts requirement also applies.
The GE OEC field service team can only service an OEC c-arm purchased from a “third party” once ALL “adulterated” parts (non-certified parts), have been removed by our a GE OEC field service engineer and replaced with certified GE OEC parts AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE. The unit will then be eligible for a GE OEC service agreement.
Every one of our C-Arms has a local field service engineer and a back-up assigned not only to handle service calls but to automatically schedule and perform routine and preventative maintenance.
Our GE OEC field service engineers average 15 years’ experience and receive 60 hours of training annually to keep current.
Yes. The same service agreement options and pricing are available for new, refurbished, and demo C-Arms purchased from GE OEC.
A variety of service agreement options are available with different amounts of coverage and price points. We are happy to discuss, contact us for more information.
You can purchase a service agreement any time before, during or after your 1-year factory warranty expires. However, for the best “deal”, you should purchase your service agreement when your c-arm is installed. GE OEC offers attractive promotional pricing if you purchase at or before installation. Of course, you do not begin paying for your service agreement until your 1-year factory has expired.
If your GE OEC C-Arm is under its 1-year GE factory warranty or if you have purchased a GE OEC extended warranty (“service agreement”), you are a priority customer. There are nearly 200 full-time, GE employee women and men in our US field service team. Their only job is to install and service GE OEC C-Arms purchased from GE OEC. Their goal is for our warranty customers to have “uptime” at 98% or better.
Call GE OEC 24/7 at 1-800-874-7378. In addition to your contact information, they will need to know the serial number of your c-arm in order to schedule a service appointment.
If you have questions on the OPERATION of your GE OEC c-arm, call the 800 # above and choose option #1. You will be able to talk to a “live” GE OEC clinical imaging specialist during normal business hours or leave a message and have your call returned the next business day. There is no charge.

The most common types of leases are the capital lease or “lease-to-own” where you own the equipment at the end of the lease term. The other is the “fair market value” lease where the end of the lease term, you have the option to purchase the equipment at its ”fair market value”, return it or continue the lease on a month-to-month basis.
GE offers several options for each type of lease such as $99/month for the first 6 months.
