01
Is The Company Accredited?
Buyers should rely on MDIA-approved verification channels, not screenshots, copied badge artwork, or unsupported marketing claims.
Who We Serve
Two audiences. One disciplined standard.
MDIA supports clinical buyers evaluating independent suppliers and qualified companies preparing for accreditation under the MDIA Standard.
For Buyers
How MDIA can support diligence.
Accreditation is meant to make supplier review more disciplined. It gives buyers a common framework for evaluating independent secondary-market companies that handle new medical devices.
MDIA does not replace each buyer's internal purchasing, legal, clinical, or compliance review. Instead, it is intended to provide an industry baseline that buyers can reference during vendor evaluation.
MDIA does not provide product recommendations or certify the clinical suitability of any specific device.
Diligence Questions
Questions buyers should keep asking.
02
What Controls Are Documented?
Ask how the supplier reviews source documentation, maintains storage controls, handles exceptions, and keeps traceability records.
03
What Product Is In Scope?
Confirm whether the transaction involves new medical devices and request product-specific information needed by your organization.
04
How Are Issues Escalated?
Responsible suppliers should have clear procedures for complaints, recalls, returns, suspect product, and buyer communication.
Need to verify a badge claim? Use the public accredited member registry.
For Member Companies
Accreditation first.
MDIA membership is intended for companies that can meet the alliance's accreditation expectations and operate responsibly within the independent secondary market for new medical devices.
The program is being built around a shared standard rather than promotional membership. Accredited status should mean a company has completed the applicable review, not merely submitted an inquiry.
Submitting an inquiry does not create MDIA membership or accreditation.
Readiness
How prospective members can prepare.
01
Documented Controls
Prospective members should be prepared to discuss policies for sourcing, receiving, storage, documentation, complaint handling, and exception review.
02
Market Fit
MDIA is focused on qualified companies operating in the independent secondary market for new medical devices.
03
Accreditation Intent
Membership is tied to the accreditation program. Companies should expect review against a documented standard once applications open.
04
Responsible Communications
Prospective members should avoid implying accredited status until MDIA has formally granted and verified that status.
