General Introduction of Biomedical Engineering:
Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic). This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine, combining the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Biomedical engineering has only recently emerged as its own study, compared to many other engineering fields. Such an evolution is common as a new field transitions from being an interdisciplinary specialization among already-established fields, to being considered a field in itself. Much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, spanning a broad array of subfields. Prominent biomedical engineering applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices ranging from clinical equipment to micro-implants, common imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, regenerative tissue growth, pharmaceutical drugs and therapeutic biological.
Biomedical engineering department plays a vital role in the procurement of new medical equipment which is based on the following basic steps;
- Need based Assessments
- Specs Compilation
- Pre-bid Meetings
- Technical Evaluation
- Market Survey
- Site Visits (Manufacturer/Vendor/Suppliers)
- Pre-Inspection of the Equipment/Machinery
- After Delivery Inspection
- Installation
- Demonstration to the End-Users
