After market research, it is determined that no known third-party vendor can perform these services to the required specifications without jeopardizing system integrity or violating warranty requirements. Only Philips Healthcare has access to proprietary parts, software, and documentation necessary for maintenance and support. Attempts to utilize other vendors in previous instances have resulted in denied warranty claims and/or prolonged equipment downtime.
