Device Authentication
Expected controls include source review, documentation discipline, lot or serial traceability where applicable, and escalation procedures for questionable product.
Accreditation
MDIA accreditation is being developed to give buyers a concise signal that an independent secondary-market company has met a documented operating standard.
Program Design
Accreditation is intended to evaluate whether a company can show consistent controls for authenticity, storage, documentation, and regulatory alignment. It is not a substitute for buyer diligence, manufacturer warranties, or product-specific clinical judgment.
The MDIA badge is reserved for companies that complete the accreditation process once the program is active. A future public verification channel is planned so buyers can confirm whether a badge claim is current.
Standard Areas
Expected controls include source review, documentation discipline, lot or serial traceability where applicable, and escalation procedures for questionable product.
Accredited companies are expected to maintain appropriate storage, segregation, labeling, and handling procedures for the products they trade.
The standard is intended to reinforce compliance with applicable law, procurement expectations, and documented internal controls.
MDIA emphasizes written policies, trained personnel, recordkeeping, complaint handling, and responsible buyer and supplier practices.
Verification
When accreditation launches, MDIA expects buyers to be able to confirm accredited status through an official verification path. That confirmation may include badge validation and registry-style information at a high level.
Until MDIA publishes that official channel, no badge, logo, screenshot, or private statement should be treated as proof of accreditation without direct confirmation from MDIA.
