Barbara,
I wouldn't buy a vital sign system from WA.. I get the impression based on experience with them that they're not going to stand behind their product for more than about 5 years if you're lucky. In the old days they supported things much longer. If you're a hospital with deep pockets, who uses equipment heavily, then maybe a 5 year life is OK for a vital sign system, but for a private doc's office where equipment is lightly used, maybe this doesn't make good economic sense. Add to that that WA gear is NOT CHEAP, I'd look elsewhere for this equipment.
Now OTOSCOPES - THAT's a different story! THEM the only brand I'll touch is WA. Other people get into the market, loose interest, and leave, and suddenly everything you own is "obsolete" (HELLO!!! HEINE USA?? CAN YOU HEAR MEEEE????)
Regards,
V.
