At ReNew Biomedical, it is essential to us that our work is dependable, consistent, and of the best quality. Since our biotechnicians service and repair every medical device entrusted to us, either at one of our depots or on-site, we employ only qualified, full-time technicians with CABT, CBET, or CHTM certifications through AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation).AAMI certification programs recognize healthcare technology management professionals who have a high degree of knowledge about medical devices and skill in electro-mechanical repair and maintenance. These national certifications demonstrate the time and effort that it took to pursue and complete the certification, as well as a commitment to continued education.

We’re proud to extend the lifespans of medical equipment through top-notch repair, service, and preventative maintenance, and we couldn’t do it without our nationally certified biomedical repair technicians. In 2021, we launched the ReNew Biomedical Training Academy, a program to train and educate aspiring biomeds with real-world experience and to help prepare them to take the exams for CABT and CBET certifications. Our Training Academy program received national recognition as the first AAMI-partnered Apprenticeship Program in the biomedical industry, as well as the first US Department of Labor-certified biomedical apprenticeship program in the US.
