JMB BIO-MEDICAL is a consultant firm which has been providing advice and services in the field of biomedical technology for over ten years.

While regulation regarding medical devices constantly develops (CE marking, medical device vigilance, accreditation...) we identify areas where lack of information and/or solutions may prevent the quick, effective and appropriate taking of decisions or implementation of measures by health care establishments or suppliers, and offer adapted tools.

As members of AFIB (Association Française des Ingénieurs Biomédicaux) and AGBM (Alliance pour le Génie Biologique et Médical), we aim at answering the specific needs of professionals who act "on the field".

Our first mission is to help health care establishments and suppliers to connect and cooperate more easily. This is why we created the HosmaT^® database in 1990 and why we update it daily. HosmaT^® can be consulted from our website http://www.hosmat.com. It contains the details of 1730 suppliers and 450 subcontractors in the biomedical field. Users may of course obtain details of a given supplier, or get a list of all suppliers of a given type or brand of medical devices. Many health care establishments use HosmaT^® on a regular basis.

JMB BIO-MEDICAL also provides a number of solutions regarding invitations to tender. (MEDImarkeT^® on the French minitel network). We daily screen offers concerning the biomedical market and inform our customers of those related to their specific activities. We then analyse the final attribution of markets. If needed, we draw specifications or peruse answers received from suppliers on behalf of entities who submit the invitation. Our subscribers include such companies and groups as AGFA, DATEX, NOVARTIS, SPACELABS, PFIZER…

Our second mission is to help health care establishments to meet the requirements of regulations regarding medical devices. In order to fulfill this mission, we provide the following services :

- drawing and up-dating of medical equipment inventories ;
- preventive maintenance by JMB BIO-MEDICAL technical staff ;
- audit of medical devices relatively to the following regulations : decree of 5 December 1994 regarding anaesthesy, decree of 3 October 1995 regarding devices used in anaesthesy induction and post-operative unit, circular letter of 20 October 1997 regarding sterilization,...
- audit and re-negotiation of maintenance contracts ;
- drawing of documents meeting the terms of the decree of 3 October 1995 : description of all systems used to induce anaesthesia and ensure post-operative monitoring, definition of their conditions of installation, control, maintenance, as well as permanent auto-evaluation of the said conditions ;
- organization of local medical device vigilance in health care establishments : creating the structures, fulfilling the mission of medical device vigilance local correspondent, managing working groups, drawing quality procedures…
- teaching of medical device regulations to medical staff  ;
- publication on our website of all circular letters of medical device vigilance published since 1994 (English versions are reviewed and used by ECRI for publication in HDA).

During these missions, we are in permanent contact with medical devices, and are aware of all their current or future technological developments, in particular those of devices used in OR or critical care units (such as multi-parameters monitors for instance).

Because over the past ten years we have acquired so much knowledge and experience in the biomedical field, and particularly because in the frame of our activities we collect so much information and contacts about devices and their suppliers in the biomedical area, we are the ideal for whoever wishes to identify potential business partners in biomedical technology.
