• Within the European Union the so-called “legal guarantee” is valid for two years on any product purchased by private people. The legal guarantee is binding on the trader/reseller. In case the product has been purchased “for professional purposes” the Civil Code recognizes only one year warranty. Otherwise, you can refer to the so-called “commercial guarantee” whose terms are decided by the Manufacturer (Mectron) and are listed on each Use and Maintenance Manual sold with the device.

• The Manufacturer guarantee covers any defects presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, that is: material and manufacturing defects.
• Any accessory or consumables are excluded by the guarantee terms, unless otherwise specified on the Use and Maintenance Manuals.

The manufacturer guarantee and the product certification are not valid in the following cases:

• The device is not used in accordance with the Intended Use for which it is foreseen;
• The device is not used in compliance to all the instructions and precautions described in the Use and Maintenance Manual attached to each device;
• The electrical system in the premises in which the device is used is not compliant to the norms in force and to the relative precautions;
• The assembly operations, extensions, adjustments, updates, and repair works are performed by personnel not authorized by Mectron;
• The environmental conditions for the preservation and storage of the device are not compliant to the precautions indicated in the described in the Technical Data Section of the Use and Maintenance Manual attached to each device;
• Use of non-original Mectron inserts, accessories, and spare parts that can compromise correct device operation and cause harm to the patient;

• You need to contact the reseller/trader by which you bought the product or a Mectron Service Centre by means of the above written channels.

• The notification must be given within 2 months from the day on which the defect has been discovered.

• Any part that needs to be sent for service needs to be clean. In case of parts with direct contact with patients, these need to be sterilized, left in the sterilization pouch and sent together with the sterilization report.
• Please note: in the event that the Service Centre personnel receives parts that can be in contact with patients and that have not been correctly cleaned and sterilized, these parts will need to be sterilized at the moment of the goods receipt. This is made in order to assure the health safety on the work place (as foreseen by the Italian Legislative Decree 626/94 and by the Italian Legislative Decree 81/08 and subsequent amendments). In case of sterilization at the goods receipt, a fee of Euro 25.00 will be applied.

• Always indicate the RMA number on the transport document. The RMA number is given to you by the Mectron personnel you contacted in order to agree the technical assistance.

• A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is a part of the process of returning a product to the manufacturer for evaluation and repair.

• No, the reseller/manufacturer will decide what is most convenient and appropriate to be done. The repair is the first option to be considered and only in case this is not a viable option (because too expensive or cannot be performed within a reasonable time) the reseller/manufacturer can choose the product’s replacement with the same product, new or refurbished, or with a different product of the same value in case the defective one is not produced anymore.

• Mectron guarantees the repair job for 6 months.

• Of course. The Mectron Service Centre will send you a report on the found defect for each product you send and, if the case be, an estimated price for the repair.
• In case the repair needs to be paid, the Mectron Service Centre will wait for your authorization to proceed.
• In case the repair is free of charge, the Mectron Service Centre will immediately proceed with the repair.

• In case the repair cost is not accepted, the Mectron Service Centre will debit you Euro 35.00 as a shared fee in order to cover the goods receipt and management and the product analysis costs.

• Unauthorized repair works may damage the system and make the warranty void, and absolve Mectron of any responsibility for direct or indirect harm to persons or damages to things.
