Guarantees

We provide warranties on certain of our products at the time of sale and sell extended warranties. The standard warranty period for our capital equipment is generally 1 year and our extended warranties typically vary from one to three years. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant.

	2019				2018
Balance as of January 1,	$	1,585			$	1,750
Provision for warranties	486				323
Claims made	(343		)		(290		)
Balance as of March 31,	$	1,728			$	1,783

Costs associated with extended warranty repairs are recorded as incurred and amounted to $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
