Following Hazard Notices issued by the Medical Devices Agency (MDA) manufacturers may have to either re-call or "field-modify" equipment to implement necessary upgrades.

Because these projects are urgent and are usually required to be completed within a fixed timetable it is often more cost-effective to sub-contract these tasks.

United Healthcare has experience of carrying out field upgrades to over 10,000 pieces of medical equipment for NHS Trusts & Private Healthcare providers throughout the UK.

If required, upgrades can be costed on a per piece basis thus allowing fixed cost budgeting.
