As Qaelum is committed to the principles of ALARA (“As Low as Reasonably Achievable”) and constant quality improvement, the main focus is providing automated patient radiation dose management, an assessmaent of clinical image quality and lifetime learning and development of staff. Qaelum is a medical device manufacturer adhering to ISO-13485 and ISO-14971. DOSE also has a number of certifications and quality labels including CE class IIb, CAMCAS level III (Canada) and FDA clearance for the US market.
A dose management solution such as DOSE is designed to make tasks easier for the specific interests of different professionals: radiologists, medical physicists, radiographers… It also guarantees compliance with regulations regarding protection against ionising radiation, such as the European Directive 59/2013/EURATOM.
