Longer-term equipments va. Cost

Actually if medical equipment market is based in US internal volume, decisions will be different than took if it considers the rest of the world.
In Venezuela the cost of replace any equipment is reaching astronomical levels. The govern assign (legally) a preferential rate of 6.3Bs/USD.... But you need to wait a year for it. If you need /want it faster and do not have the USD, you need to pay it 80 times higher the value... Today, while I AL writing this lines, the cost is 500bs/USD. 6.3 to 500..... Now perhaps you will understand why is really hard to replace it often.
There are 1993 ct's for sale in this moment with a cost of 90% of a 64 slices news obtained by govern rates USD..... A CT tube cost is higher than a new CT itself due is hard to reach preferential USD to parts.

I agree that the USA is a unique market and that currency exchange rates play a role in when and what to buy. You make a good point Jose, Thank you.
