What is the significance of Part Classifications?
All service parts sold through GE Healthcare Parts & Support Services are classified as either “consumable” or “exchange” items. This classification is important as it relates to pricing and restocking policies. Consumable items are sold at a full list price (excluding any applicable discounts) and are generally non-returnable. At the discretion of GE Healthcare, some consumable items may be returned, subject to restocking fees listed below. Exchange items are repaired, or reconditioned, parts that are priced substantially below the full list price of the new-condition part. GE Healthcare is able to offer this special pricing based upon the customer commitment to return a like defective part in repairable condition. When your order contains Exchange items you will be contacted to coordinate the delivery of appropriate Return Authorization forms for each Exchange item. Failure to return a like defective part in repairable condition may result in additional charges to the customer. Pleas
