ABOUT
Mission
Our mission is to provide world-class clinical engineering and forensic engineering services. Why? Because world-class patient care depends on safe and effective medical technology.
Clinical engineering helps you cost-effectively manage medical technology through the entire equipment life-cycle. Forensic engineering helps you manage adverse events and avoid their recurrence.
Together, these professional engineering and management services help you maximize patient safety and minimize patient risk. That’s what we strive to accomplish.
