Who doesn’t like to test a technical device before buying it? Relying on recommendations and reviews from others is only of limited value when making a purchase decision. Cars can be test driven. But what if customers could also try out diagnostic systems or other high-priced capital goods before making a purchase decision? The higher the investment, the more relevant a realistic practical test becomes. Our answer: a scalable demo pool service for companies in the medical technology, research, and industrial sectors.
What is a demo pool?
A demo pool comprises devices that companies make available to potential customers for a limited period of time. The aim is to bring technology to life – in the environment where it will later be used. Whether in ophthalmology, microsurgery, or on the factory floor: those who can test a device in their own working environment before purchasing it make more informed decisions – and are significantly more willing to buy.
For this to work reliably, more than just a few rental devices are needed. A professionally organized demo pool ensures that every unit is in perfect technical condition, is delivered ready for use, and is checked and reconditioned after use. The devices are serviced, thoroughly disinfected, and technically inspected after each use in test operations. This ensures that quality remains at a consistently high level.
Why is a demo pool beneficial for your sales team?
Providing devices for testing offers tangible advantages in the sales process. Those who sell technical products can convince potential buyers early on with a well-designed demo pool. Using the products under real-life conditions builds trust and increases the closing rate.
Faster trust building
Higher probability of closing deals after the test phase
Stronger customer loyalty through service orientation
Differentiation from competitors
Valuable feedback from practical experience
LGI coordinates the logistics of your demo pool holistically
LGI takes care of the entire management of your demo equipment—across Europe, reliably and with a wealth of experience. From storage and transport to collection and technical preparation, we take care of every step. To make things even easier for you, we provide you with a specially developed online tool: your sales representatives can use it to check directly whether a test device is available and book it immediately. A structured process you can rely on – for greater security and less effort.
How demo equipment rental works?
Storage: Demonstration devices and accessories are stored at an LGI location that is specially certified for handling your devices.
Configuration: Before a device leaves the warehouse for the prospective customer, customer- and country-specific device settings and equipment are configured. This includes the language on the device, special cables, and printing and binding operating instructions in the respective national language as required.
Transport: Depending on customer requirements, we deliver the appropriate transport mode to the place of use on request. This can be a medical facility, a laboratory, a hospital, or even a trade fair.
Place of use: The test device is unpacked at the place of use upon request. This is followed by assembly (e.g., attaching components) and installation (including connecting the device to the power supply and commissioning). Our technically trained driver then returns the empty box.
Return: At the end of the rental period, we take care of the return. We dismantle the device, pack it in the box provided and return it to the warehouse.
Reconditioning: In the warehouse, the device is thoroughly disinfected, a functional test tailored to each device type is carried out and the customer data is certified deleted. The test product is then stored again before being prepared for the next interested party or for demonstration purposes at a trade fair.

Demo pools are used in these industries
Clinics: Devices such as surgical microscopes or vital signs monitors are tested directly during operation—on the ward or in the treatment room.
Medical practices: Specialists try out new technologies such as imaging diagnostic systems or therapy devices in their familiar working environment.
Research & teaching: Universities and laboratories use demo devices to test technical solutions before starting studies or test series.
Manufacturing companies: New or complex products are presented to potential buyers via demo pools – ideal for market launches.
Sales partners: Sales representatives and specialist retailers use demonstration devices for consulting, training, or as a decision-making aid for customers.
Trade fairs: Visitors experience devices live—a practical first impression that convinces.
Ensuring every demo product is impressive: How we guarantee quality at every level
Clean, safe, well documented: your test devices are only sent to potential customers when everything is in order.
Hygienic and tested: Every test device arrives at your customers’ premises as good as new
Before a test device is put back into circulation, it is thoroughly reconditioned. This includes certified disinfection that is specifically tailored to the respective device type. This is followed by a technical inspection in which all functions are carefully checked. To ensure complete traceability, every step is documented—from return to redelivery.
Professionally competent: Our staff are highly trained!
Any device is only as reliable as the people who work with it. That’s why our drivers, technicians, and warehouse staff are highly trained. They know what’s important when it comes to medical and testing equipment and complete regular device-specific e-learning programs. This ensures that every device is properly packaged, installed, returned, and prepared for its next use.
