Rapid Response
Uncomplicated and Responsive Customer Service
While each organization is unique, the healthcare industry as a whole wants two things when an issue arises: immediate access to their service provider and prompt resolution of the issue. Canon Medical Systems’ entire issue resolution process is designed to effectively reduce your equipment downtime to a minimum.
Assist Centre
One phone call connects you to both technical and applications support.
Your initial request for service is placed via a toll free hotline available to serve you on a 24/365 basis. Friendly bilingual Call Agents located in our ASSIST call centre in Canada will request your equipment site number, contact name, telephone number and the problem with the equipment. A service request number will be issued to you. The Technical Service person assigned to your site will contact you and perform an assessment of the situation. In some cases, service can be restored over the phone.
