-sanitary design: is it old enough that proper sanitation was not considered or was not designed to current needs/standards?  If not up to standard, can it be modified to be brought into compliance?

 

-what is current condition: if equipment is not in usable/acceptable condition now, can it be brought into compliance?

 

-similar to above, how was the equipment stored? does the storage conditions pose a risk that cannot be subsequently mitigated?

 

-before bringing into facility: thorough inspection, cleaning if necessary, etc.

 

-once in the facility: does the equipment still function properly?  can it do what you need it to do without adverse effect on the product?
