Quality & regulatory

Compliance is a document trail, not a badge on a website

Anyone can put a certification logo in a footer. What matters when a surveyor arrives is whether the paperwork behind the equipment exists, is dated, and names the person who signed it. This page sets out our regulatory position and exactly what documentation you receive.

Supplied with every project

  • Manufacturer declaration of conformity
  • Installation qualification record
  • Electrical safety test results
  • Calibration certificate with traceability
  • Acceptance test protocol, signed
  • Training attendance register
  • Warranty registration confirmation
  • Planned maintenance schedule
Where we stand

Registrations and standards

We distinguish between what we hold, what we align to, and what our manufacturers hold. Conflating the three is how compliance claims become misleading.

What we hold

FDA device establishment registration

Registered as a device establishment with the US Food and Drug Administration, with device listings maintained for the categories we distribute, refurbish and service.

State medical device distribution licensing

Licensed to distribute medical devices in California, with out-of-state registrations maintained where the destination state requires them.

General and professional liability cover

Commercial general liability, products liability and professional indemnity cover; certificates of insurance issued to your risk team on request.

What we align to

ISO 13485 quality management principles

Refurbishment, calibration, complaint handling, corrective action and traceability run against documented procedures modelled on ISO 13485.

NFPA 99 and AAMI electrical safety practice

Electrical safety testing performed to recognised healthcare facility standards, with results recorded against each asset tag.

Joint Commission EC and DNV expectations

Service records structured around the equipment management standards accreditation surveyors actually cite.

What our manufacturers hold

FDA 510(k) clearance or PMA approval

Every device we supply is cleared or approved for its intended use in the United States. Clearance numbers are supplied on request before purchase.

CE marking, where applicable

For imported systems, the manufacturer holds the CE technical file and declaration of conformity, which we pass through to you.

UL / ETL electrical listing

Devices carry the relevant nationally recognised testing laboratory listing for the environment they are installed in.

Registration numbers, licence copies, certificates of insurance and W-9 documentation are issued directly to your procurement or compliance team on request. We do not publish them here because the numbers change and a stale page helps nobody.

Patient data

HIPAA and equipment that holds PHI

Modern imaging and monitoring equipment stores protected health information. A service engineer with a laptop plugged into a modality is a HIPAA exposure whether or not anyone acknowledges it. We treat it as one.

  • Business associate agreements

    We sign a BAA before any engagement where our engineers may encounter PHI, and we will work from your paper rather than insisting on ours.

  • Documented media sanitization

    Devices removed from service are sanitized to NIST 800-88 guidance, with a certificate of sanitization issued per asset.

  • Access discipline on site

    Engineers work to least-privilege access, never export patient data to portable media, and log every system they connect to.

  • Incident reporting

    Any suspected exposure is reported to your privacy officer within 24 hours, in writing, with the facts we have at that point.

Ongoing obligations

Recalls, safety notices and reporting

Distributors carry statutory reporting duties that do not end at the point of sale. Ours run for the life of the device in your facility.

  • Recall and field-action notification

    We hold serial numbers against your asset list. When a manufacturer issues a field safety notice, we contact affected customers directly rather than waiting for you to find it.

  • Medical Device Reporting

    Adverse events involving devices we supplied are reported to the manufacturer and, where required, to the FDA within statutory timeframes.

  • Unique Device Identification

    UDI data is captured at intake and supplied in your handover file so your CMMS records match the regulatory record.

  • End-of-support tracking

    We flag manufacturer end-of-support dates on your asset list ahead of time, so replacement lands in a budget cycle rather than an emergency.

Refurbishment standard

What "refurbished" means when we say it

The word is used to describe everything from a full rebuild to a wipe-down and a new sticker. Ours is a written eight-stage process, and you receive the record for your specific serial number.

  1. 01

    Intake & provenance

    Serial number, ownership history, service history and hour meter recorded. Devices with unverifiable provenance are rejected.

  2. 02

    Data sanitization

    Any storage holding patient data is sanitized and certified before the unit enters the workshop.

  3. 03

    Full teardown

    Wear components, seals, batteries, filters and consumable assemblies replaced regardless of measured condition.

  4. 04

    Component testing

    Subassemblies tested against manufacturer tolerance. Out-of-spec parts replaced with OEM or OEM-equivalent stock.

  5. 05

    Software & firmware

    Brought to the manufacturer-supported release, with licensing verified as transferable.

  6. 06

    Calibration

    Calibrated against instruments with traceability to national standards; certificate issued with measured values.

  7. 07

    Electrical safety

    Leakage current, earth bond and dielectric testing performed and recorded to recognised healthcare standards.

  8. 08

    Burn-in & sign-off

    Extended operational run under load, then a named technician signs the release record that ships with the unit.

Need our documentation for a vendor review?

Send us your vendor credentialing checklist and we will return it completed, with the supporting certificates attached, rather than asking you to chase individual documents.
