Program is offered only in the United States. The trade-in opportunity will expire on
June 30, 2009.

Submit your PO prior to March 31, 2009 and receive an additional $1,000 trade-in discount.
 
    Which product is eligible?

System serial number TMA11368 and above are built with 3.0 ohm drivers.
 
    What are the benefits?
Upgrading to a 3-Ohm linear driver motor offers the following benefits:

The new drive will extend the scheduled preventive maintenance by 50%. PM's are provided at 6,000-hour intervals instead of 4,000 hours.
Reduced PM requirements will provide a minimum savings of $6,200 over the projected life of the ventilator.

The 3100 ventilators with the 3-Ohm drivers are less intrusive in the NICU environment by virtue of being 60% quieter.

The 3-Ohm drivers run cooler, potentially extending the life of the electrical components.

All upgraded units are backed by a six-month warranty on the driver.
 
    What if I have a Service Contract?
For customers without a Service Contract:

The price for the upgrade kit is $6,500 + labor and travel charges.

For customers under Service Contract:

Total Service contract coverage: Price for the upgrade kit is $5,500, labor and travel will be provided at no charge under this service contract.

    Why consider an upgrage?
Compare the cost for the 3-Ohm upgrade kit to the cost for your next PM
Cost for a PM
  4,000 PM on a 1.5 Ohm driver = $3,042
  8,000 PM on a 1.5 Ohm driver = $6,840

Cost for an upgrade kit
  $5,500 without a service contract
  $3,500 with a service contract
