Renting an ECG device vs buying

For people who are experiencing symptoms that suggest a heart issue, renting rather than purchasing can offer several advantages. Here’s why renting is likely a better option for you:

1. Cost-Effectiveness

  - Lower Cost: Renting a portable ECG device requires a smaller financial commitment compared to purchasing one. This can be particularly important for patients who need the device for a short-term condition or specific diagnostic purposes. If you can show your health professional what the issue is with your heart, chances are they will be able to either treat it or reassure you that the problem does not need treating. Once you have gone that far, you will no longer need the ECG device!

  - Avoid Upfront Expenses: Purchasing a high-quality portable ECG device can be expensive. Renting allows you to avoid the potentially large initial outlay and only pay for the time you need the device.

2. Access to Support and Guidance

  - Hire Health Customer Support: When renting an ECG device from Hire Health, you automatically get our exceptional customer support to assist with device setup, operation, and any issues that arise. Technical issues can be a huge barrier for some people but with a bit of support and guidance, anyone is able to use these devices.

  - Guidance: All of our device rentals come with a booklet showing clear instructions and guidance on how to use the device effectively. Coupled with our customer service a phone call away, anyone can get the essential information our ECG devices provide.

3. Temporary Needs

  - Short-Term Use: If you only require monitoring for a specific period, such as during the investigation of symptoms or for post-operative monitoring, renting is a practical solution.

  - Event-Based Monitoring: For instance, if you need ECG monitoring during a specific event or period of concern, renting can provide the necessary equipment without long-term commitment.

4. Access to Advanced Technology

  - Up-to-Date Devices: Renting allows you to use the latest models with advanced features and improved accuracy, without you having to purchase the new technology yourself.

  - Technological Updates: Renting ensures access to updated technology and software.

5. Avoiding Maintenance and Repair Costs

  - Included Maintenance: We take care of all the maintenance and support services, which means you don’t need to worry about repair costs or troubleshooting issues.

  - Hassle-Free Operation: Renting ensures that the device is well-maintained and functioning correctly, reducing the burden on you.

6. Flexibility

  - Adaptability: Renting provides flexibility to adjust the duration of use based on your changing needs or circumstances. This is particularly useful if your condition evolves or if ongoing monitoring is not required.

  - Ease of Return: Once monitoring is complete and you have the recordings to send to your Health Professional, you can very simply return the device by leaving it on your doorstep and letting the courier know it’s ready to be picked up. No need to worry about storing the device or on-selling it.

7. Convenience

  - Ease of Use: We take care of all the delivery and pickup services, and your device will come pre-set for you to jump in and start recording.

8. Managing Health Costs

  - Insurance Coverage: In some cases, your Hire Health rental costs may be covered by your health insurance provider.
