Repair Information
We work hard to make sure your repairs go quickly so that you can get back to your life without having to worry about your device.
Need to schedule a repair, device loan or demo?
We all know accidents happen (we’ve seen it all!), and it’s always a good idea to plan for the regular maintenance of your device. Our repair team is available to get you up and running again in no time. Loaner devices are also available for longer repair times, as are demo devices for in-office review. Go to the Fillauer Loan/Demo Program.
For Repairs:
To Request a repair, please take the following steps:
STEP 1: To set up a repair ticket, please fill out the below form so that we know what to expect. This repair form covers all devices.
STEP 2: After submitting the Repair Request Form you will receive a confirmation email with a pdf attached. Please print it and include it in the shipping package with your device.
STEP 3: Carefully package your device to protect it from additional damage or impact during shipping. If you are sending back an ETD/ETD2 hook, please make sure it is unlocked. If you are returning an MC Hand, please remove the glove (if applicable) and send only the device. We cannot be responsible for cosmetics or sockets. Be sure to include a printed copy of the repair form.

STEP 4: When your package arrives we will contact you with an estimate, and keep you informed of our progress. We will need to have a purchase order number or direct payment before we can start repairs. Please complete the payment requirements in a timely manner to help us return your repair or loan device quickly.
After payment arrangements are made, most repairs and maintenance are completed in about a week. (See information below for in-warranty and out-of-warranty repairs.)
STEP 5: Upon completion of the repair we will pack and return your device soon as possible. *See additional information in the policy section below.
If you need a loaner device during the repair time you must fill out and submit a separate device loan request form found in the next section below.
For Demo or Loan Devices:
If you would like to inquire about arranging a loaner device during repairs OR demo trial items, please see the Fillauer Loan/Demo program information and complete the appropriate form.
Most demo devices are available for up to 15 days. Repair loans are good for 30 days unless otherwise notified. To inquire about a non-repair long-term device loan (a month or longer) please contact motionrepairs@fillauer.com to make arrangements.
- The borrower accepts full responsibility for any loss or damage to the device(s) during the loan period.
- Failure to return equipment by specified time may interfere with other demo requests.
- If not returned by the stated return date you will be invoiced for full replacement cost of the equipment. *See additional information in the policy section below.
