Platinum Medical Parts, LLC announced today that Dave Band has been named chief executive officer (CEO). Working with senior vice president , Scott Simmons, Mr. Band will be responsible for expanding the company’s presence in domestic and international markets and building strategic relationships with third-party service providers, OEMs, and leasing companies. Platinum Medical Parts entered the third party replacement parts industry in 2007, introducing a radically different way of providing MR parts and support to third-party service providers and imaging centers. Using expert field engineers to handle calls, Plantinum Medical Parts, LLC, helps companies get the right parts fast. Platinum Medical Parts is rapidly changing the face of the replacement parts industry by offering Hero Kits and by substantially reducing the heavy penalties associated with restocking fees. 

“For years, remarketing companies have held customers captive with an antiquated parts ordering process. The old model imposed heavy restocking fees on customers, essentially penalizing them for making the wrong parts choices,” says Band. “The Platinum Medical Parts model is tremendously appealing for customers because we pair expert engineering support with parts ordering to try to ensure that the customer makes the right choice, to get up and running faster and save money.”

Mr. Band is the founding president of The International Association of Medical Equipment Remarketers and Servicers (IAMERS), an organization that works closely with the US Food & Drug Administration and the US Department of Commerce to encourage competition that benefits the customers. Since its founding in 1993, IAMERS has been extremely influential in promoting the continued growth of an active, secondary market that allows healthcare providers to realize operating efficiencies from lower-cost alternatives as well as receive optimal value from equipment they no longer require.

“I am extremely pleased to work with Platinum Medical Parts to promote a more customer oriented, cost-effective and efficient business model in the medical parts after-market,” says Mr. Band. “The Platinum philosophy of truly catering to the customer and helping them be successful is long overdue.”
