Compliance & Excellence
Our commitment to global standards ensures the highest level of safety, precision, and affordability in medical diagnostic technology.
AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board)
The supreme statutory body governing all aspects of ionizing radiation in India. Its role is to ensure that medical radiation (X-rays, CT, MRI) does not harm humans or the environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Type Approval: Mandatory certification before commercial sale.
- Licensing: Formal License for Operation required for all clinics.
- Facility Layout: Mandated lead-shielding designs for safety.
- Certified RSO: Mandatory Radiological Safety Officer at every site.
- TLD Badges: Compulsory exposure tracking for all medical staff.
Non-Compliance Risk: Facilities without a valid AERB license risk immediate sealing and legal action under the Atomic Energy Rules, 2004.
NABL (National Accreditation Board)
An autonomous body under the Quality Council of India. While AERB focuses on safety, NABL is dedicated to Technical Competence and Accuracy.
The Accuracy Standard
- ISO Standards: Accreditation based on ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 15189.
- Traceable Calibration: Verified precision traceable to national standards.
- Global Acceptance: Recognized internationally via ILAC agreement.
- Legal Validity: Certified reports hold higher weight in medical/insurance claims.
APMEI (Pre-Owned Medical Equipment)
A specialized professional association representing the refurbished sector. This body bridges the gap between high-cost technology and affordable healthcare.
Strategic Role in Healthcare
- Right to Repair: Ability to maintain high-end machines independently.
- Refurbishing Standards: Strict code of ethics for restoring original performance.
- Affordability: High-end tools at 20–30% of the cost of new systems.
- Circular Economy: Significant reduction in medical electronic waste (E-waste).
- Service Support: Parts and service for discontinued OEM models.
