Working closely with the US Food & Drug Administration and the US Department of Commerce, IAMERS helps ensure that pre-owned medical equipment remains a trusted and valued alternative to expensive new equipment. In so doing, IAMERS helps meet the need for safe, reliable pre-owned equipment and the budget challenges of healthcare providers worldwide.

In the course of its work with the FDA and other parties, IAMERS has been a consistent advocate to preserve and enhance the right of healthcare providers to have choice in the selection of equipment and service vendors. IAMERS has steadfastly resisted the attempts of some OEMs to eliminate buyer's options by reducing competition from the pre-owned medical equipment marketplace.

Furthermore, the continued growth of an active, secondary market allows healthcare providers to receive real value from equipment they no longer require. And by providing a wealth of non-OEM alternatives for service and equipment acquisition, customers can realize operating efficiencies from the lower-cost alternatives and selection the secondary market provides.

IAMERS members are concerned about patient safety and customer satisfaction. As responsible buyers, sellers, lessors, refurbishers and servicers, members understand their responsibility to work closely with their customers to ensure universally high standards of quality. Yet, healthcare providers, both domestic and international, should know that if a problem arises in the course of their dealings with an IAMERS member, they have recourse through contacting the Association. IAMERS commitment to patient safety and customer satisfaction means the Association will do everything within its power to ensure the distribution of safe and properly represented medical equipment.
