Therapy equipment quote checklist for rehab clinics
A therapy equipment quote checklist should identify the exact device, included accessories, optional items, training, delivery, warranty, service, payment terms, and expiry. Compare the written scope with the demonstrated configuration, then bring missing information to the representative before approving the purchase. Chattanooga Rehab is a rehabilitation equipment manufacturer serving professional clinics with LightForce laser and Intelect shockwave systems.
Included support
Ask what support begins at install and what continues after the first training.
Timeline
Align approval, ordering, delivery, room prep, and staff onboarding.

Does the quote identify the equipment we intend to receive?
Begin with the exact model and configuration, not a broad line such as therapy laser or shockwave system. Ask for part numbers and quantities for each included component. Compare the proposed device with its current official documentation. Laser, focused shockwave, and radial pressure wave have their own product information; a general modality description does not establish the identity or labeling of a purchased system. [1] [3] [4]
Match the quote to the configuration the clinical team evaluated. If the demonstration used a different handpiece, accessory package, cart, or optional feature, request clarification. Record the quote version and the changes made during review. Procurement should be able to compare the delivered system with an accepted written list rather than reconstruct the purchase from photographs or separate sales emails.
Which included and optional items need separate lines?
Ask the representative to identify included accessories, additional quantities, optional accessories, storage items, and any consumables. For a laser proposal, clarify the quoted eyewear package and intended users. For a shockwave proposal, identify the appropriate model-specific accessory package. An accessory used in a demonstration is not necessarily included in the quoted base configuration.
List the items the clinic elects to purchase and those it leaves out. Request current replacement part identification and ordering contacts for applicable components. Keep replacement expense separate from the initial purchase total. If a needed item has no confirmed price or compatibility information, mark it as unresolved instead of assuming that another device's accessory is an acceptable substitute.
Compare complete written configurations. Separate included items from elected options.
What delivery and training scope should be confirmed?
Request the shipping destination, transport charges, delivery assumptions, installation scope, and responsibilities for room preparation. Clarify who receives and checks the equipment. If a date is an estimate, record it as an estimate rather than a firm commitment. The administrator needs enough detail to coordinate preparation without scheduling use before the required setup and instruction are complete.
Ask who receives initial instruction, how it is delivered, which configuration it covers, and whether future staff instruction is separately arranged. Identify any training expense outside the quote. Keep the device operating documents available to the clinical lead. Purchasing a system and receiving a training presentation are separate events; the practice should document operator readiness through its own process.
Which commercial terms belong in the approval record?
Review the quote validity period, payment timing, applicable taxes, cancellation provisions, and handling of configuration changes with procurement. If financing is proposed, compare its agreement with the same equipment scope and identify any separately paid items. Ask qualified financial or legal advisers to review the relevant terms. This checklist does not establish an available financing offer or a tax benefit.
Retain the current warranty, authorized service contact, repair intake process, and optional support terms with the accepted quote. Clarify the costs and responsibilities that remain with the clinic. Bring unresolved configuration questions to the relevant equipment demonstration before signing. Use the clinic equipment implementation checklist to turn the accepted scope into assigned delivery, room, instruction, and acceptance tasks.

Before you approve the quote
What should an equipment quote identify first?
The exact model, market, configuration, part numbers, and included quantities. Resolve unclear descriptions before comparing totals.
How should optional items appear?
Ask for separate quantities and prices. Mark which options the clinic intends to purchase rather than assuming every demonstrated accessory is included.
When should we request a revised quote?
Request a revision when the model, configuration, quantities, delivery scope, or accepted terms change. Retain the version used for approval.
Buyer FAQs
Questions for clinics evaluating equipment fit, training, support, service, safety, and purchase timing.
What should we prepare before requesting a rehabilitation equipment demo?
Bring the clinic room plan, staff roles, intended service workflow, budget range, decision timeline, and questions about current device labeling. Identify who approves clinical fit and who approves spending. Ask for a demonstration built around that workflow so the team can evaluate the same configuration.
Which rehabilitation equipment features should we test rather than just discuss?
Ask staff to evaluate setup, control access, accessory changes, cleaning, storage, and movement between rooms under supervision. Record questions that cannot be answered during the demonstration. Request the current instructions and follow-up documentation before accepting an equipment recommendation.
What should a complete rehabilitation equipment quote include?
Request exact model identification, part numbers, quantities, included and optional accessories, training scope, shipping, warranty, service contacts, and quote expiry. Distinguish confirmed terms from estimates. Compare the quote with the demonstrated configuration before purchasing.
How do we compare competing rehabilitation equipment proposals?
Use the same clinic requirements for each proposal and compare documented configuration, labeling, training, support, and total purchase scope. Record missing information as unresolved rather than assigning an assumed value. Avoid inferring clinical superiority from power, price, or a longer feature list.
Who should attend the rehabilitation equipment purchasing demonstration?
Include a clinician who will operate the device, the clinical lead, the purchasing decision-maker, and the administrator responsible for implementation. Add facilities or safety staff when room controls need review. Give each person specific questions so the decision includes operation and ownership requirements.
What should happen after the rehabilitation equipment demonstration?
Collect the written quote, instructions, configuration list, training plan, and unresolved answers. Document clinical and purchasing acceptance separately. Assign room-preparation and staff-training tasks before confirming delivery so the final decision is based on evidence the team can review.
What should the quote include for the proposed rehabilitation equipment?
Ask the representative to itemize the rehabilitation equipment configuration and the parts or services needed for this project. Record included quantities, optional purchases, training, delivery assumptions, and written support terms. Have the purchasing and clinical leads compare that scope with the specific requirements above before approval.
Which documents should we request before approving the proposed rehabilitation equipment?
Request current instructions for the exact model, accessory compatibility information, the accepted quote, and the applicable warranty or contract terms. Record the document version and market. Use these records to resolve unanswered questions rather than relying on an older brochure or a general sales statement.
Who should approve the purchase plan for the proposed rehabilitation equipment?
Have the clinical lead approve device fit and operation, the administrator approve staffing and room readiness, and the purchasing lead approve the written cost and contract scope. Include a safety or facility reviewer where needed. Keep each approval tied to the proposed configuration.
What ownership costs should we include when budgeting for the proposed rehabilitation equipment?
Separate the equipment purchase from accessories, staff time, training, shipping, inspection, maintenance, and service. Request current prices for applicable items and identify unknown costs. Review these assumptions with the financial lead without turning an estimate into a guaranteed annual expense or return.
What should staff demonstrate before operating the proposed rehabilitation equipment?
Use the current operating instructions to review setup, device controls, accessory identification, care, and issue reporting. Record completed instruction and questions requiring follow-up. The clinical lead should decide when operators are ready under the facility policy rather than assuming attendance at a sales demo is sufficient.
How can we schedule a demo to discuss the proposed rehabilitation equipment?
Use the demo link on this page and provide the clinic type, room plan, operators, purchase timeline, and this topic's unresolved questions. Ask for a demonstration of the proposed rehabilitation equipment configuration and written follow-up on quote scope, training, and service.

Which documentation should guide the purchase?
Review the current US instructions for the exact equipment configuration before approving clinical use, accessories, room controls, or staff training. Manufacturer documentation supports product facts; clinical research addresses its stated study population and methods. A study does not extend a device indication. [1]
Intelect Focus Shockwave has a US indication for heel pain due to chronic proximal plantar fasciitis in adults with failed alternative conservative therapies for at least six months. Review radial pressure wave labeling independently; do not transfer a condition claim between systems. [2]
