Biomedical Engineering Technician and Rehabilitation Engineers

Clinical engineers work exclusively in clinical settings.

Clinical engineers are responsible for developing imaging technologies like ultrasound and MRI.

Clinical engineers focus on detecting and measuring physiological parameters of the human body.

Clinical engineers work with implantable prostheses and artificial organs.

Clinical engineers apply engineering principles to understand the structure and function of the human body.

The role of a clinical engineer may vary across different countries.

Biomedical engineering technicians/technologists (BMETs) are responsible for the daily maintenance and repair of medical equipment in hospitals.

Rehabilitation engineers design devices solely for improving an individual's independence.

Healthcare is defined as the field of medicine concerned with the treatment of diseases.

A health care system involves the organization, institutions, people, and resources whose primary purpose is to promote, restore or maintain health.

The three main categories of stakeholders in a health care system are the government, health service providers, and service users.

Clinical engineering is a sub-speciality of biomedical engineering.

Biomedical engineering is not considered a classical field of engineering.

Biomedical engineering assists in developing a better understanding of the human body's physiology and structures.

Biomedical engineers do not support clinical professionals in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

The classification of medical devices depends on factors such as whether the device is life-supporting or invasive.

Medical devices that incorporate animal tissues or cells are classified in the same category as devices that do not.

The conformity assessment processes for medical devices are independent of the device class.
