Home » X-Ray System Accidental Insurance – Do I Need It?

Clinics rely on advanced diagnostic imaging systems, such as Digital Radiography (DR) panels, to deliver accurate and timely care.

Unfortunately, these systems, particularly DR panels, are sensitive and vulnerable to accidental damage. For instance, in the case of veterinary clinics, animals in equine environments may kick the equipment, and bodily fluids can cause significant harm. Given these risks, protecting your investment becomes essential.

Although we provide protective casings and covers to minimise damage, accidental insurance adds a crucial layer of financial security that warranties cannot match. To safeguard your equipment, Medic Cloud strongly advises clinics to secure specific device insurance.

Why should I buy accidental x-ray system insurance?

X-ray systems and DR panels play a vital role in veterinary operations. Their sophisticated yet fragile nature makes them prone to damage that standard warranties typically do not cover. Here’s why accidental insurance is essential:

1. Physical Damage Risks

  • Equine Kicks: Animals may kick or move unpredictably, endangering DR panels and portable x-ray units. General accidents by humans is also common.
  • Handling Errors: Even with the utmost care, accidents such as drops or impacts can occur during routine use.

2. Environmental Damage Risks

  • Bodily Fluids: Exposure to substances like urine, blood, or other fluids can severely damage sensitive equipment.
  • Outdoor Use: Portable systems used in the field face increased risks from dust, moisture, and sudden weather changes.

3. Warranty Limitations

Most warranties exclude accidental or external damage. Without the right insurance, clinics may face expensive repairs or replacements, disrupting operations and straining budgets.
