Service That's A Step Ahead
PENTAX Service knows that minimizing risk is the first step to achieving lower costs, fewer errors, and optimized efficiency in the medical community. Instead of archaic service models that simply cover repairs, our goal is to help healthcare facilities remain proactive in their efforts to maintain devices to reduce preventable risks. That’s why we’ve devoted substantial resources, technology, and training to help your facility improve patient care while safeguarding your bottom line.
The ServiceWorks program is built on a foundation of holistic support with the help of expert guidance, certified inspection control specialists, regular maintenance inspections, and a shared risk and savings program to ensure the highest quality service at the lowest possible cost for your facility.
Flexible contract with rewards for proper equipment care
Throughout the course of your service contract, the needs of your facility may change. That’s why PENTAX is building the industry’s most aggressive service-cost reduction program with flexible repair contracts and rebates for optimized equipment care and maintenance. Our shared risk and saving program is an industry first, fully-capitated service package complete with rebates for service underutilization.
The flexible repair contract includes:
- Unlimited repair coverage regardless of the cause of damage
- Automatic 20% discount on all contract repairs

Avoid preventable errors

Working harder for you: Expert training
At installation—Your staff will receive detailed care and handling training focused on:
- preventing wear and tear to optimize patient care and reduce costs for your facility

Preventing cross-contamination
Most cases of microbial transmission via contaminated scopes are due to non-adherence to reprocessing guidelines. Despite these guidelines, reprocessing lapses continue to be a widespread concern and can lead to increased patient morbidity and mortality.
At PENTAX, our team of Certified Infection Control Specialists are dedicated to providing healthcare facilities with the tools and knowledge they need to understand and address the internal and external factors that affect instrument cleanliness. By utilizing evaluations, “train the trainer” methodologies, and regular in-servicing, PENTAX makes it a priority to ensure adherence to our reprocessing best practices and IFUs for the sake of your patients and your facility.
