Secondlife Refurbished Equipment

A Canon Medical alternative to new: refurbished with care, supported with confidence

Extend the life of medical imaging equipment through an OEM-led refurbishment program designed to support reliable performance and more circular use of resources.

What is Secondlife

Secondlife is Canon Medical’s refurbishment program created to provide tailor-made, flexible solutions for partners and customers who need reliable and cost-efficient medical imaging equipment.

Built on the idea that outstanding quality lasts, it gives selected systems a second life through a structured process and dedicated support: from professional de-installation and refurbishment to installation and after-sales support.

A Refurbishment Program Built on Canon Medical Expertise

Officially launched in 2010, Secondlife was created with a practical need: to find a responsible and reliable way to extend the usable life of high-quality systems through meticulous OEM-led refurbishment.

Over time, the program evolved into a dedicated refurbishment operation – managed through the Secondlife Refurbishment Centre in Amstelveen (the Netherlands) and with availability worldwide – with defined areas for receiving, cleaning and disinfection, engineering work, and outbound preparation. It has since become a successful venture, providing cost-effective, top-quality refurbished Canon Medical systems.

Who is Secondlife for

Secondlife can be a smart option for hospitals, imaging centers, private institutions, and veterinary clinics that are looking for reliable imaging capabilities with a sustainable and controlled investment approach.

Secondlife systems are delivered with a 12-month full warranty (with possible extension to 24 months), the latest applicable software upgrades, and configuration options to meet customer demands, supported by Canon Medical service.

Canon Medical’s sustainability approach applies circular economy initiatives such as refurbishing used systems and reusing parts, to extend the lifespan of medical equipment.
Secondlife is a practical example of circular economy thinking in healthcare technology. By refurbishing and reusing equipment, the program helps:
  • reduce unnecessary disposal of medical equipment (e-waste reduction)
  • lower emissions associated with manufacturing new products
  • conserve resources by repurposing equipment
  • support reuse and sustainable practices in healthcare environments
