More about AAMI
AAMI is a voluntary consensus organization whose membership is over 6,000 individuals and 375 organizations. Committees of manufactures, health care professionals, regulators, scientists, academics, and other interested parties research and develop new or revise existing Recommended Practices and Standards that address the use, care and processing of devices and systems. Committees also develop Standards for manufactures which recommend the labeling, safety, and performance requirements to be met by produces they produce.
Although AAMI is a voluntary organization, its Recommended Practices and Standards are considered to be major resource of health care guidelines, and noncompliance with these standards is cited by regulatory organizations that inspect health care facilities.
