01HOW CANIPUS WORKS
Canipus puts films and demonstrations of medical products in front of the doctors, hospitals and distributors they were made for, with what the register says about each one printed beside it. A company shows what it makes. A doctor watches, asks, and gets an answer with a name on it. Nothing here is anonymous and nothing wears a seal it did not earn.
A medical device is bought on evidence. This is where the evidence sits.
01COMPANIES & DISTRIBUTORS
One desk for manufacturers and distributors. List the product or the service, upload the films and the photographs, and say which register it is approved under. Canipus asks that register and prints the answer, so the page a doctor reads carries your number and the date it was last confirmed rather than your word for it.
Open your portfolioOpen your portfolio with your work email. If your firm is in the CDSCO register you can claim it, and the questions doctors have already asked of that firm come with it.
Add a record: what it is, what it is for, the register and the number, the price or the words "on request", and the films. A film plays by itself in a doctor's feed; a page without one is seen far less.
Doctors find it, watch it, save it and ask. An enquiry reaches you by email within ten minutes, with who asked, from where, and how well Canipus knows they are a doctor.
Answer at your desk. Everything said on both sides is kept on one thread, and the doctor hears by email even when the screen is closed.
02FOR DOCTORS
Free, and it stays free. Say what you practise and where, and the feed is built from that: films and demonstrations from the companies that make things for your specialty, newest first, with the register's answer on every card.
Open your doctor deskAsk a company a question with your name on it, and read what came back beside what you asked.
Check anything against the public registers, including something a salesman left on your desk: photograph the page and Canipus reads it, asks US FDA, PubMed and the trials register, and answers in six lines.
Follow the products you care about and hear once a day when they post, never more.
Your proof is looked at by a person at Canipus. A council number is checked against the register where a register answers; an ID card is looked at by a person, and if it cannot be read you are told why, in words.
03FOR HOSPITALS
Write what the hospital needs, in your own words, once. Companies in that category answer with the whole quote: the price, the warranty, what the service contract covers, how fast somebody comes, and what it costs to run for five years. You set the answers side by side and pick.
Open your hospital deskEverybody in the hospital who should see it sees it: the doctor who asked, the purchase desk, the biomedical engineer.
Your usual distributors can be named on the requirement, so the people you already buy through are not cut out of it.
The hospital's own registration is checked by a person at Canipus, and the profile says what was confirmed or what is missing.
03WHAT THE RECORD CAN TELL YOU
That a registration number exists in the register it claims, and that the register still confirms it. The CDSCO register is mirrored here in full from the download CDSCO itself publishes. US FDA, PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov are asked live when a doctor checks a device.
Whether a product works, whether it is the right one for a patient, or whether a claim in a film is true. A registration is not a recommendation and Canipus never turns one into one. When a register stops confirming a number the seal comes off the page and the page says so.
Nothing for doctors and nothing for hospitals, ever. A company lists for nothing and pays only when somebody asks about a product, when it takes a seat on a hospital's requirement, or when it buys reach. The whole price list is here.
