General Market Condition: No Restrictions, but CE Mark is Required
Are there special restrictions or tariffs that apply to used medical equipment that do not apply to new medical equipment?
No, there are no special restrictions or tariffs that apply to used medical equipment. The same rule applies to both new and used medical equipment. However, as in most European countries, Iceland requires the CE mark on all medical equipment, used or new.
Can public health institutions buy used or refurbished medical devices?
Yes, they are allowed to buy used or refurbished medical equipment but so far no interest has been shown to do so, simply because health institutions prefer to purchase new equipment.
Is there a market for used or refurbished medical devices?
According to the Icelandic Ministry of Health there has not been a market for used or refurbished medical equipment, since institutions prefer to purchase new equipment.
If there is a market, what types of used or refurbished medical equipment are in greatest demand?
Not applicable.
