- • On November 13, 2014, Philips inaugurated a new healthcare imaging systems refurbishment facility in Best, the Netherlands. The new facility marks the next step in bringing the financial and environmental benefits of circular economy to the healthcare industry. The new facility in Best will refurbish magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), interventional X-ray (iXR), computed tomography (CT) and surgical imaging systems as part of the Philips Diamond Select program. Under this program, pre-owned equipment is converted into ‘as-new systems’ with full warranty and re-configured to customers’ needs by using the renewed components, latest software releases and updates. Establishing the new facility in Best, makes the refurbishment business an integral part of Philips’ global Healthcare R&D and manufacturing location in the Netherlands and allows Philips to optimize the collaboration between its design, production and refurbishment groups. With reuse in mind, the design and development approach will be enhanced tore-enter a maximum amount of pre-owned product elements into the production process once their first lifecycle ends – a key element of the circular economy.
