Keep in mind, the biggest benefit of buying a Philips (ATL) HDI 5000 directly from Philips is you will not only get the latest software level and the latest features, but you will also avoid the risk of a system or transducers that MAY NOT have ORIGINAL manufacturers' parts.  Philips DOES NOT sell parts to third party vendors, therefore you really don't know what you are getting.  (You could be getting an HDI 5000 with scrap parts from who knows where...this is a common occurrence with third party vendors).  So even if a third party vendor is ISO 9000 and FDA registered, the systems they sell may have parts from other systems (Philips or otherwise), so the system may not perform as it should.
