Whether you’re establishing a new business or expanding your practice, it’s often tough to choose a diagnostic wall system. TigerMedical is here to help! Today, we tackle one of our most frequently asked questions:

Welch Allyn 777 Green Series Integrated Diagnostic Wall System

Vs

ADC 56100 AdStation Modular Diagnostix Wall System

Unit Specs

Both systems provide a sturdy foundation, with aesthetically pleasing designs that compliment patient rooms. Content wise, base packages are similar, although the ADC unit includes a halogen Otoscope.

The key difference is customization. Welch Allyn lack flexibility, limiting customers to premade combinations that sometimes conflict with personal preferences. ADC takes a different approach, understanding that physicians don’t all operate identically. Want a halogen Otoscope and a LED Ophthalmoscope?  No problem. Want a LED Otoscope and halogen Throat Illuminator? It’s yours! LED and halogen options are available for all add-ons, allowing customers to configure their perfect toolkit.

The ADC unit also holds up to four heads, providing space for a Throat Illuminator and Dermascope. Welch Allen’s counterpart only supports an Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope, limiting diagnostic capabilities.

Advantage: ADC

Price

Given the specs, you would imagine that ADC products are pricey. Not so fast! Even with the halogen Otoscope (which can be deselected to further reduce the price), the ADC unit is $300 cheaper – an incredible deal.

You can use the saving towards a vacation, perhaps a trip to Hawaii. You can put a dent in your car/house payments or finally buy that Amazon wish list item that’s been teasing your for months. With the extra cash in your pocket, the possibilities are endless.

Advantage: ADC

Reputation

Founded 100 years ago, Welch Allyn is a trusted industry leader. Its name has become synonymous with medical equipment and many professionals choose their products based on reputation. The company’s longevity serves as a testament to its overall quality and its ability to adapt to technological breakthroughs.

Conversely, ADC is a relatively recent undertaking, opening its doors in 1984. Based out of Long Island NY, it quickly became one of the fastest growing firms in the region. Combining high quality with value pricing, ADC’s industry status continues to rise.

Overall, Welch Allyn is certainly the more recognizable name and there lies a certain prestige in using its products.

Advantage: Welch Allyn

Conclusion

Welch Allyn may have the better name but chances are your clients won’t know the difference. How often to patients understand the subtleties of medical equipment, let alone recognize the brands? ADC’s unit provides a far better value, with a cheaper price tag and customization options to boot.

If you have money to spend, Welch Allyn is a solid choice and can add reputation to your brand. On the other hand, if you’re a thirty shopper looking to save without skimping on quality, ADC is your perfect solution.
