In these promising economic times, smart investors tend to put their money into biotech. New medical equipment manufacturers emerge, and veteran manufacturing organizations expand their product lines. When investor confidence is high, things are good in the medical device industry. Growth always presents challenges. Such as the problem of confidently placing your new medical equipment into locations where you do not have a reliable service infrastructure established. This can be especially challenging for foreign manufacturers, as well as manufacturers who are still going through the FDA 510(k) approval process.

Solving this problem usually involves hiring a service manager in the area. Said manager would have to work out of his home, at least at first, so there may be accountability issues. This manager would have to build a crew of field service representatives. Qualified biomedical equipment maintenance technicians are not easy to come by. It also may prove challenging enticing hospital biomedical equipment maintenance technicians to leave their tenured, comfortable positions for the long hours, traffic, and inconveniences of field service.

There is a company which provides turn-key solutions for medical equipment manufacturers as an outsourced field service solution. An international network of small medical equipment repair companies has united to provide an outsourced field service solution for medical device manufacturers. This shared service has representatives in all 50 United States, as well as Canada, The Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe.



The international service network provides maintenance services on all modalities of diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices. They are experts in the servicing of biomedical, medical imaging, and scientific laboratory equipment. Their service representatives perform on-site technical training, as well as repairs, calibration, preventive maintenance and electrical safety inspection, logistical support, and record keeping. Together they act as a manufacturer’s field service arm in their territories.

This is how it works. A medical device manufacturer is about to release a product. They contact the service network, and negotiate coverage and service rates. Then they schedule training at the manufacturer’s facility, or an agreed upon location. The members of the network attend the service training, and provide additional training to their subordinates. At this time, the medical device manufacturer can comfortably sell or otherwise place the medical equipment for use. The members of the service network will, acting as the field service representative of the medical equipment manufacturer, perform the initial installation, any needed repairs, calibration, preventive maintenance and electrical safety inspections on the equipment. This service will be performed in honor of the manufacturers’ warranty and/or other field service arrangement made between the manufacturer and the end user, usually a healthcare provider. Services are centrally billed and paid for through the network organization, which in turn pays the independent service organizations performing service on the equipment. All service calls are recorded in high definition video and hi resolution images, which are provided, along with text reports, on a secure online portal.

As of now, there is only one organization in the United States that offers such an outsourced field service solution for medical equipment manufacturers. They have been in the biomedical engineering and healthcare technology management field since 1983. They have a network of independent service organizations that spans across all 50 US states, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. They have experience servicing all modalities of diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment. Their service representatives and affiliates perform installation, repairs, calibration, preventive maintenance and electrical safety inspections on biomedical, medical imaging, and scientific laboratory equipment. They have provided this outsourced field serviced solution to medical device manufacturers on every continent, and in every equipment category. Click here and visit their site to find out more.

There’s a lot of buzz going on in the healthcare industry about magnets and healing. Biomagnetic Pair Therapy and Magnetic Therapy are making a resurgence in popularity. This is especially true in the Spanish-speaking world; as Biomagnetic Pair Therapy, the brainchild of Dr. Isaac Goiz-Duran of Mexico, is exploding in popularity.

Dr. Goiz first discovered the principles behind this therapy more than 20 years ago when treating an AIDS patient. After putting two magnets, one on the rectum and one on the thymus gland, the patient recovered from AIDS shortly. Dr. Goiz proposed that this pair of points have a relationship to each other for harboring the pathogens that cause AIDS: the HIV virus in the rectum and Escherichia coli in the thymus gland. What makes it possible for these two pathogens to survive in these niches is the alteration of the local pH values: the virus relishes an acidic environment while the bacteria an alkaline one. Furthermore, according to Dr. Goiz, these two pathogens resonate with each other and cause the collapse of the immune system. By placing simple magnets on these two places, the local pH is neutralized, causing the pathogens to be immediately eliminated.

In the case of AIDS, one would place the positive pole of a magnet on the thymus and the negative end on the rectum. Dr, Goiz calls this bi-focal relation between these two disease-causing points of the body the “biomagnetic pair”. In the years that followed, Dr. Goiz and his adepts discovered hundreds of such pairs relating to most diseases inflicting humankind, including scourges such as cancer and hepatitis. By presenting this catalogue of pairs, Dr. Goiz claims that most of these diseases can be cured by this simple method of placing the magnets in pairs.

Biomagnetic Pair Therapy uses pairs of permanent magnets to depolarize relationships between pH imbalances in the body caused by the presence of pathogens. It is a safe and natural therapy that re-establishes normal cellular milieu and aids in detoxification and healing. Maintenance of proper pH levels is critical to health.

A large number of complex diseases including cancer are associated with changes in the pH levels in internal organs. This is often caused by the presence of pathogens, such as virus, bacteria, fungus, parasites, toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful factors. Biomagnetic Pair Therapy helps restore the body to having an internal environment that does not tolerate the presence of these pathogens and their associated illnesses.

Biomagnetic Pair Therapy is different from Magnetic Therapy, although the two are often used in combination. Biomagnetic Pair Therapy uses pairs of magnets, positive and negative, to simultaneously raise the pH level of acidic areas and lower the pH of alkalotic areas. This depolarization of the relationship between the pathogens empowers the body’s own immune system to rid the body of both pathogens. Clients report a profound detoxification experience after the first Biomagnetic Pair Therapy session. Clinical experience of many practitioners has shown that Biomagnetic Pair Therapy may be used to address and help heal many conditions and illnesses. Some of these are listed below. Other benefits of Biomagnetic Pair Therapy include:

• Neutralizes the body’s internal pH, and creates an internal environment that is inhospitable to pathogens.
• Correction of the intracellular energetic and ionic conditions.
• No side effects, and it may be easily used in conjunction with both conventional and alternative treatments.
• Targets the root cause of the illness, rather than the symptoms.
• Results can often be seen in a few minutes, days or sometimes in a few weeks.

Devin Lockett with friend and client, the late Mr. Dick Gregory.

Pathogens can appear when there are fundamental distortions in the pH level of organs or areas of the body, or of the body itself. The presence of pathogens can also be a cause of pH imbalances. A body that is too acidic (hyper acidity/low pH) is prone to viral and fungal infection and degenerative processes. A body that is too alkaline (hyper alkalinity/ high pH) is subject to inflammation, swelling, pain, and bacterial or parasitic infections. The process of pH imbalance begins at the cellular level, with the exchange of ions through the membrane. This biolelectric act occurs in all the cells of the body. Magnets polarize the cells ions in the body the same way they polarize magnetic or iron filings through a piece of cardboard. Many remember this elementary school experiment.

Here is another testimonial from a Biomagnetic Pair Therapy client

By correcting the ionic alteration through the use of magnets with a minimum of 1,000 gauss, specially placed on the body through Biomagnetic Pair Therapy, the local pH may be neutralized. This changes the internal environment from one that is pathogen friendly to one that pathogens cannot survive in. In this manner, Biomagnetic Pair Therapy is considered an excellent therapy in effectively restoring the biological terrain (internal milieu) and aiding in the neutralization and elimination of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections that are often though of as initiating factors in many modern diseases and conditions.

The location and placement of these biomagnetic pairs was clinically defined by Dr. Isaac Goiz-Duran, M.D., over the past twenty years. He has identified, by pathogenetic codes, more than 250 biomagnetic pairs that correspond to the majority of diseases and dysfunctions. The coupled magnetic placement areas have been found to be energetically connected and have a bi-focal relation, and placement of one positive polarity and one negative polarity magnet on the body for a period of time determined by your geographic distance from the equator (due to the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field) is capable of reestablishing the acidic-alkaline balance. Complex conditions often require multiple pairs to improve pH balance.
