How Clinical Asset Index Works
We publish observed pricing data for used medical, dental, and laboratory equipment. This page explains how we collect, classify, and compare listings — and the limits of what those numbers can tell you.
01.What "Observed Listing" Means
We collect publicly listed prices from auction sites, government surplus platforms, and dealer marketplaces. We record the asking or auction price at the time of observation. We do not verify condition, seller claims, or transaction outcomes.
02.How Peer Groups Work
Every listing is classified as a complete system, module, part, or for-parts unit before pricing is calculated. We never average complete systems with parts.
03.How Confidence Is Calculated
High confidence: 30+ comparable listings from 3+ sources. Good confidence: 10–29 listings from 2+ sources. Limited: 3–9 listings. Under 3: not shown.
04.Source Limitations
eBay prices are asking prices, not sale prices. GovDeals prices are auction bids. DOTmed prices are dealer asking prices. Each source type reflects different market dynamics.
05.Corrections and Removal
To request a correction or removal, use our corrections page.
06.Disclaimer
Clinical Asset Index is not affiliated with any marketplace or manufacturer. Data is for informational purposes only. Not an appraisal or legal advice.
