Siemens MAGNETOM Aera

Refurbished MAGNETOM Aera Overview

The Siemens MAGNETOM Aera is a 1.5T wide bore MRI on the Tim 4G and Dot platform. It pairs the 70 cm opening of the Espree generation with a newer coil architecture and guided workflow.

Medical Outfitters supplies the refurbished MAGNETOM Aera under the MO Select line, fully tested and with a warranty included.

It suits sites replacing an ageing 1.5T that want throughput gains without moving to 3T. Dot workflow templates help where staffing is tight or scan protocols vary widely between operators.

What MO Select Means

MO Select is the Medical Outfitters line of certified pre-owned imaging systems. A system only carries the badge after our own engineers have refurbished it and tested it against the manufacturer specification.

• Warranty included. Every MO Select system ships under warranty. It is part of the system, not an upsell.
• Serviced by MO. Our own engineers do the refurbishment and the ongoing service. We do not subcontract it.
• Fast delivery. We rig, crate and ship in house, so lead times stay short and predictable.
• Easy process. One team and one point of contact, from the first quote to the first patient scan.
• Fully refurbished and tested. Each system is stripped, renewed where needed, and tested before it leaves our facility.
• Supported where you are. We cover the United States, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

MAGNETOM Aera Configuration and Specifications

The figures below are the published standard configuration for this model. They are not a substitute for the unit record.

Software level, coil or detector complement, table configuration and any installed options are confirmed per unit before we quote. Used systems ship in the configuration they were built and upgraded to, so we verify each one rather than assume.

What Is Included

Every MO Select quote states the scope in writing, so there is no guessing about what arrives on the truck.

• The refurbished system, tested against specification
• Warranty, included as standard
• Delivery, rigging and installation by our own team
• Applications handover for your staff
• Service and repairs by Medical Outfitters engineers

Quoted separately where needed: room construction and shielding, electrical supply upgrades, third party PACS work, extended service terms, and removal of an existing system.

Delivery, Installation and Service

We do this part ourselves rather than handing you to a subcontractor. That is what keeps the process easy and the delivery fast.

• Delivery and logistics
• Installation, rigging and de-installation
• Service and repairs

Coverage runs across the United States, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. We also handle cryogenics and cold storage, which matters on any superconducting magnet.

Buying a Refurbished MAGNETOM Aera

We do not publish per system pricing, because configuration drives the number more than the model name does. Our MRI cost guide sets out current ranges, and we quote each unit individually.

You can see the rest of the range on our MRI equipment category. For regulatory background on this class of device, see the FDA guidance on MRI.

MAGNETOM Aera Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Aera different from the Espree?

Both are 1.5T with a 70 cm bore. The Aera sits on the newer Tim 4G and Dot platform, which changes the coil architecture and the workflow rather than the field strength.

What is Dot on a MAGNETOM Aera?

Dot is the guided exam workflow. It standardises protocols across operators, which matters most where staff turnover is high.

Is a refurbished Aera a sensible replacement for an older 1.5T?

Often yes. You gain the wide bore and the newer platform at a fraction of new system cost, and the room requirements are usually close to what you already have.

Does the system come with coils?

Coil complement is confirmed per unit. We list exactly which coils are included on the quote rather than assuming a standard set.

Who services the system after installation?

Medical Outfitters engineers do. Service and repairs are handled in house across the US, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
