What we check before publishing, what the status on a company profile means, and what it does not mean.
These are the two statuses used on company profiles today. A status describes what we compared and when. It does not certify product quality, regulatory approval, certifications or commercial reliability, and it does not mean that we visited, audited or tested the company or its products. Paid placements and company claims never change a status.
Two further statuses, “Contact verified” and “Business verified”, are reserved for checks made directly with a company. They are not assigned to any profile at present, and we will describe how they are checked here before they are used.
Some details need a separate check by an editor before they appear. Product categories, medical specialties and capability claims (such as OEM or private-label services, manufacturing capabilities, export markets and certifications) stay hidden on profiles, directory cards, category and specialty pages and in company counts until an editor has confirmed that section against a source and recorded the source address. Founding years and business types are shown only with a quote from a source. A confirmed section reflects what the source stated when it was checked; certifications are not audited by us.
Medical AI company roles and regulatory information are shown as stated in the company’s own or other official sources, with links. Exhibition dates and venues are checked against the organizer’s official information, and the date of the check is shown on the event page where available.
We never guess email addresses, add unpublished phone numbers, or create logos, reviews or ratings. Always confirm important details directly with the company. Report a correction.
