For healthcare facilities performing a high volume of procedures, equipment maintenance can represent a significant annual expense. These real-world examples demonstrate how moving away from a traditional OEM service agreement and using Lex Tech for repairs can substantially reduce those costs.
One hospital performing approximately 20–25 procedures per day was facing an annual OEM service agreement costing $100,000. During its first year working with Lex Tech, the facility spent just $23,685 on repairs. That represents a first-year savings of $76,315, reducing its service and repair costs by more than 76%.
The savings were also significant for a higher-volume same-day surgery center performing 40–50 procedures per day. An OEM service agreement would have cost the center $146,000 per year. Instead, its first-year repair costs with Lex Tech totaled $76,095, resulting in $69,905 in savings—nearly 48% less than the cost of the OEM agreement.
These examples illustrate the potential financial impact of choosing a repair-based service model rather than committing to a costly annual OEM contract. For busy hospitals and surgery centers, the difference can amount to tens of thousands of dollars in a single year, freeing up resources that can be directed toward other operational and patient-care priorities.
Across these two examples alone, the facilities achieved a combined $146,220 in first-year savings. While actual savings will naturally vary depending on equipment, repair requirements, procedure volume, and service needs, the numbers demonstrate why healthcare organizations may want to evaluate whether a traditional OEM service agreement is the most cost-effective approach for their facility.
