Terms of Use

The terms on which you may read and use this website.

These terms govern the use of AAMIBlog. By reading or contributing, you accept them. They are written to be read, not to hide obligations in dense wording.

Nature of the content

Posts are educational. They describe practice and requirements in general terms and are not a substitute for a manufacturer's instructions, a regulator's decision, or your own clinical engineering judgement in a specific situation.

No professional advice

  • Nothing here constitutes legal, regulatory or clinical advice.
  • Applying a described practice to a specific device remains the responsibility of the responsible organisation.
  • Where a post and an official document differ, the official document prevails.

Intellectual property

Text and original figures belong to their authors and to AAMIBlog. Quoting with attribution is permitted; wholesale reproduction is not. Trademarks and standards designations remain the property of their owners.

Availability

We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Links may change when posts are updated; archived addresses redirect where possible.

Reporting a problem

Errors, rights concerns and complaints go through the contact page. How we handle a correction is described in the editorial policy.

Editorial note. This article is general education, not a procedure and not professional advice. Before you change anything in your own setting, check the current standard, the manufacturer instructions and your organisation's policy, and involve the people responsible for clinical safety. This site carries no outbound promotional links.
