Editorial Policy
MedikalDevice is an independent information resource on connected and AI-enabled medical devices for clinics, hospitals and procurement teams in the United States. This page explains how our content is researched, checked and kept up to date, so readers can judge how much weight to give it.
Independence
- We do not sell the devices we profile and we do not take orders.
- Manufacturers do not pay for coverage, and they do not review or approve our profiles before publication.
- When a page mentions a product or service published by our own company, SCMDSD LLC, we say so on that page.
How device profiles are verified
Each device profile is checked against public primary sources before publication:
- US regulatory status is taken from the FDA's public databases (510(k), De Novo and PMA). Where a clearance number is known, it is linked so readers can check it directly. When we could not confirm a clearance for the exact model, the profile says so.
- Specifications and features come from the manufacturer's own documentation, product pages and user manuals.
- AI features are listed only when the manufacturer describes them. Profiles state plainly when a device has no built-in AI.
- Market status is noted when a product has been discontinued, its maker has closed, or availability could not be confirmed.
Every profile lists the sources used and the month it was last verified.
What we do not publish
- Prices, warranty terms or availability claims we cannot verify.
- Invented case studies, testimonials or performance statistics.
- Partnerships or integrations between companies that have not been publicly announced by those companies.
- Claims that a device or software diagnoses or treats a condition. AI tools are described as aids to the clinician.
Images
Where possible, device pages show a photo of the exact model. Some images are reconstructed illustrations; these carry the caption "Illustration — not an official product photo". Diagrams on guide pages are original artwork.
Guides and articles
Guides explain concepts, regulation and practical choices for clinics. Regulatory statements refer to the applicable texts (for example 21 CFR, FDA guidance documents and, for Europe, Regulation (EU) 2017/745). Figures are kept only when they can be attributed to a named source.
Corrections and updates
Medical devices, clearances and companies change. When an error is found, the page is corrected and its modification date is updated. Profiles are re-checked periodically against the FDA databases and manufacturer sources.
Not medical advice
Content on MedikalDevice is general information for professionals evaluating equipment. It is not medical, legal or regulatory advice. Always confirm a device's regulatory status and intended use for your own setting before clinical deployment.
