End of Life & End of Service Explained

Learning that a system in your facility is reaching its "End of Life" or "End of Service" from the manufacturer can seem scary but don't fret! We're here to answer all of your questions.

 

End of Life:

End of Life (EOL) indicates your imaging system has reached the limits of its primary market viability, and as a result, support for parts or service is limited for the original manufacturer. 

Many third-party companies, including Block Imaging, are able to support these systems.

End of Service:

End of Service (EOS) indicates your imaging system's original manufacturer is no longer offering service support for your system. 

Many third-party companies, including Block Imaging, offer service contracts to support these systems.
