Q4: What is your process for handling technical errors or system malfunctions?

Our tiered support system begins with a 24/7 online portal for error code lookup and troubleshooting, followed by a remote diagnostic session with our senior engineers. For hardware issues that cannot be resolved remotely, we deploy field service engineers to perform on-site repairs, often achieving a first-time fix rate of over 98%.

Q5: Can I get engineering support to integrate your device with my existing clinic management software?

We provide API documentation and developer support to facilitate seamless integration with major clinic management and EMR software. Our engineering team can work with your IT staff to ensure smooth data exchange, enabling efficient patient record management and treatment tracking.

Q6: What kind of training does your engineering team provide to my clinical staff?

We provide comprehensive on-site and online training programs covering device operation, safety protocols, maintenance, and advanced troubleshooting. Our training is designed to empower your staff with the knowledge to maximize the device’s potential and handle minor technical issues independently, supported by our expert team when needed.

Q7: How do you handle DFM feedback from the field to improve future device iterations?

We have a structured feedback loop where data from field failures, service reports, and customer feedback is systematically analyzed by our engineering team. This analysis directly informs our DFM process, leading to continuous product improvements, enhanced reliability, and superior user experience in future generations.

Q8: Is there a dedicated technical account manager for my clinic?

Yes, every B2B client is assigned a dedicated technical account manager who serves as a single point of contact for all support needs. This ensures personalized service, a deep understanding of your clinic’s setup, and proactive communication regarding updates, maintenance schedules, and any potential issues.
