Depot Repair Process

Our process for repairing devices in our Depot is strictly governed by ISO standards. We apply the same documented procedure to every device that comes into our facility, ensuring each piece meets exacting quality standards.

When customers send their devices to our facility it is properly documented and decontaminated. Next, we test and screen the device for malfunctions according to OEM guidelines. Then the requested service is performed, whether preventative maintenance or full repair. The device is then extensively tested for quality assurance before it is stored in our warehouse or shipped back to the site by our in-house logistics team.
