Innovatrix Biomedical, LLC
A Lifeline to Colorado’s Remote Clinics and Critical Access Hospitals

Colorado is known for its breathtaking landscapes, majestic mountain ranges, and picturesque scenery. However, the charm of its geographically rich small towns comes with challenges, particularly for critical access hospitals (CAHs) nestled in remote areas.

The absence of local maintenance experts leaves these healthcare facilities with no choice but to depend on original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for maintenance services. This reliance on OEMs results in exorbitant travel expenses and strains their already limited budgets.

Enter Innovatrix Biomedical, a game-changer in the region that has stepped up to provide essential support to these remote clinics, including those in the most isolated corners of the state.

The pivotal role of its timely and dependable healthcare equipment maintenance minimizes disruptions for patients, who would otherwise have to undertake arduous journeys for essential medical services.

“At 7,700 feet, the challenge of distance is compounded by heavy snowfall and severely limiting mobility. Having technicians trained and stationed in these remote areas proves invaluable. When passes are closed, and towns are cut off, our technicians near a major hospital can ensure crucial maintenance,” says Curtis Shaw, president of Innovatrix Biomedical.

The company combines its expertise with MediMizer, an advanced solution designed to assist medical equipment technicians in accurately monitoring safety performance and conducting preventive maintenance inspections, thereby providing exceptional control. This platform goes beyond the norm by generating customized reports tailored to specific needs, including requests from EOC meetings. These reports provide performance summaries on a quarterly or year-to-date basis.

Clients gain access to meticulous tracking, which includes information on decommissioned, lost, traded, or newly purchased equipment, providing them with a comprehensive overview of equipment status and any changes. They get a wide range of information, including the precise location, requester details, calibration history, and labor allocation. The CMMS system empowers clients with direct access to their equipment and ticket statuses through a user-friendly online portal, enhancing emergency management and day-to-day operations. The dashboard’s real-time nature ensures stakeholders stay informed, and its searchable interface for equipment and ticket records enhances efficiency.

Recently, the company showcased its responsiveness and cost-saving expertise through two compelling case studies. In a crucial instance, a local clinic’s autoclave suddenly malfunctioned, risking their surgical operations. Despite being on the verge of departing for another hospital assignment, Innovatrix Biomedical’s technicians promptly reversed course, assessed the situation, and used their extensive network to source a replacement autoclave. Leveraging existing relationships and quick problem-solving ensured uninterrupted operations and saved the clinic from potential disruptions. This nimble action preserved the clinic’s daily schedule and fostered goodwill within the community.

The success of Innovatrix Biomedical is built on an unwavering commitment to adaptability and continuous learning. With a constant drive to explore service manuals, upgrade test equipment, and innovate problem-solving, the team thrives on challenges. When seeking team members, experience often takes a back seat to a shared ethos, valuing growth and embracing uniqueness.

This perspective, combined with a deep appreciation for Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes, underpins Innovatrix Biomedical’s core hiring philosophy. The company seeks individuals who resonate with the region’s spirit of exploration and demonstrate an innate dedication to mastering the intricacies of biomedical service.
