Four ways to pay for critical-care equipment
Compare solutionsEquipment finance
A fixed monthly payment
Fair-market-value and $1-out leases and loans for beds, ventilators and monitors, from 24 to 84 months.
- Suits
- Predictable census; equipment you intend to keep
Utilization Pricing
By the occupied bed-hour
Each ICU bed is billed for the hours it holds a patient, measured by the bed, at a rate fixed for the term, above a monthly minimum.
- Suits
- Seasonal census; new or expanding units
Critical Care Subscription
One fee per bed, per month
The ventilator, monitor and infusion equipment for each bed, with service, loaners and software updates included.
- Suits
- Units that want one line in the budget
Technology Refresh
A fixed payment, new equipment every 48 months
Bedside and central monitoring replaced on a set schedule, with the next generation priced into today’s payment.
- Suits
- Monitoring and other equipment that ages by its software
All four can be combined in one master agreement, and any of them can be enrolled in Continuity Assurance for a lower rate.

Continuity Assurance
Lower rates and no security deposit, because enrolled equipment tells us it is installed, maintained and in service.
Equipment enrolled in Continuity Assurance connects to our service network. That lets us lend against it with more confidence, and pass the difference to the hospital: rates up to 0.85 percentage points lower.2 How Continuity Assurance works
