Editorial · MedevIQ v1.0.0

About this reference.

A standing record of who maintains MedevIQ, how its data is compiled, and the licence under which it is published.

Mission

A reference work, openly maintained.

MedevIQ exists because no single open work today maps the medical device used in a hospital to the regulatory frameworks that govern it, the manufacturers that produce it, the standards it must comply with, and the codes under which it is classified. Procurement teams reconstruct that map every time they plan a hospital; researchers reconstruct it every time they study one. The catalogue is the seat that should not have to be reconstructed.

This is a reference work, not a product. Records are versioned, citation-stable, and licensed under CC-BY 4.0. No record is gated behind a paywall. The commercial layer adds procurement-tier services on top of the open foundation; the foundation itself remains open in perpetuity.
