Refurbished systems
Refurbished image-guided therapy systems
Sustainable, high-quality refurbished IGT systems at attractive prices
Each Circular Edition system is carefully selected and undergoes a rigorous refurbishment process to ensure its quality and performance are as good as new. Circular Edition systems are custom-configurable, and you receive the same warranty, service performance levels and training as with new Philips systems. Thanks to the re-use of materials, Circular Edition systems help reduce the need to extract virgin materials. Circular Edition systems are a cost-effective and sustainable solution that is as good as new, giving you the full Philips experience at a more affordable price.

Sustainable, high-quality systems offering more value for money
With Circular Edition you can get access to high-quality medical imaging systems, at an accessible price point.
With average prices being 25% lower1 compared to similar new systems, Circular Edition systems offer a better return on investment, while our refurbishment process ensures like-new quality and performance. And thanks to re-using 80% of average material weight,2 Circular Edition systems have a lower carbon footprint than new ones.
By choosing Circular Edition you can provide high-quality and cost-effective care for your patients, while reducing your environmental impact.
Lower carbon footprint compared to new
Over its lifetime, the carbon footprint of a typical refurbished Azurion 7 C20 system is 28% lower compared to a new one, saving 25.76 tonnes CO2e emissions, thanks to reusing more than 2457 kg (80%) of the material weight.
This translates to 60% less supply chain emissions, meaning a 60% lower impact on your Scope 3 emissions versus a new system.
When shifting to renewable electricity during use, the carbon footprint saving goes up to 55%.3
Footnotes
- Average cost savings compared to the purchase price of a similar new Philips system. Pricing depends on modality, product type, configuration, and other factors.
- Based on the average weight re-use percentage per system for Philips MR, CT, Mobile C-arm and Image-guided therapy refurbished systems in 2024. Results may vary based on the amount, type, mix and age of returned systems.
- Comparison of a new Azurion 7 C20 and a refurbished Azurion 7 C20. Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in line with ISO14040/44 and using ReCiPe2016, EcoInvent 3.9.1 database including global average energy mix, COCIR standard for energy consumption, and the average reused weight percentage during refurbishment in Best in 2023. Results will vary based on amount, system type and age of returned systems as well as the country due to, amongst other things, source of energy and logistics. Supply chain emissions refer to all Life Cycle stages, excluding use-phase and end of life. For a healthcare customer this is equivalent to scope 3 emissions - for more information, refer to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
