Online biomedical database tracks equipment for date code readiness The Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services departments have established an online database that identifies the year 2000 status of biomedical equipment. The database identifies biomedical equipment unaffected by the data change and equipment with potential problems, he said. The Web site's search engine lets users type in manufacturers' names to get product information.
Manufacturers also can post information about their products.
The departments signed an interagency agreement to establish the Federal Y2K Biomedical Clearinghouse on the Web. The Food and Drug Administration hosts and maintains the site. The Veterans Health Administration handles design, development, implementation and maintenance of clearinghouse data. All rights reserved.
