Dear visitor,
It has been true for a long time now that the satisfaction of our customers depends on more than the physical properties of our products; instead, the importance of the digital – in other words, data-based – benefits continues to increase. For the mutual success of our customers and our company, we are connected by a constant exchange of ideas and information – after all, if we want to provide the perfect cardiovascular management solutions for patients, we need them to be actively involved in the process.
As a father-and-son management team, we are proud to present this catalogue showcasing our new brand and extended strategy, as well as lots of new products.
Change is happening more quickly than ever these days, but is also only set to accelerate further.
So we look forward to sharing many more new advances with you!
Thomas Korth (COO) & Uwe Korth (CEO)

STRUCTURE
Research
Intensive research is the central pillar of many years of successful business. To this end, IEM intensively collaborates with universities, research institutions and Key Opinion Leader around the world. The
results of scientific projects are an essential element of the development of our products.
Development
Based on the results of intensive research, we develop innovative inhouse solutions in line with the high standards regarding quality, longevity and usability. With careful usability engineering, documentation and continuous functional checks, we develop series-production ready products that offer maximum value. Alongside IEM-branded products we also develop products made to order (e.g. OBL).
Production
As an ISO-certified company, we care about offering only products of the highest quality, which is why we monitor every process step in accordance with defined standards at our in-house production facility – living up to the excellent reputation German engineering enjoys. In times of high capacity usage, we can meet your demand with short lead times thanks to our ability to scale flexibly.
Sales
Our aspirations also include ensuring quality in the sales process. This means that we provide you with direct access to experts within IEM for each field and target group. Our products are sold domestically as well as internationally through certified medical device retail partners who receive training and regular audits for quality control purposes. This allows us to guarantee that you receive the same standard of service and support around the world, from sales advice to product repair.

Data security and Data management
Innovative medical solutions must be safe and reliable while also offering significant medical value. Not only that, but they also need to be adapted to customer and product-specific needs by enabling interoperability. These standards are especially important when it comes to the transmission of health data. This is why these requirements constitute the basis of all IEM systems. The collection and transmission of measured values is strictly anonymous, with security being provided by apps, modems and GSM modules, which are integrated in measurement devices and approved as medical devices.
Together, they constitute the core of the data management system alongside the IEM gateway server (medical product). The powerful and failsafe gateway server processes data in line with the highest security standards and transmits it in encrypted form and anonymously to IEM solutions or, if so desired, to the customer’s own databases in any standard format.
In addition to maximum data security, the gateway server in conjunction with the IEM transmission units enables the development of new, interoperable systems to allow optimised patient care.
Gateway-Server
- Redundant server systems
- Server monitoring with status report
- 99,9% system availability
- Data received exclusively from registered senders
- Anonymous and encrypted data transmission
- Medical product
- ISO 27001-certified server provider
Quality management
Our products and services are developed in accordance with international standards and undergo extensive testing in line with specific and relevant standards: within our company, by independent testing institutions and under the critical eye of internationally renowned clinics and clinical research organisations.
Our software and system development process encompasses the entire product development process from drawing up the medical product specifications to clinical testing. Together with our customers, we efficiently develop innovative solutions and incorporate requirements in accordance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 80601-2-30.
Quality requirements (according to ISO 13485 and ISO 9001) are integrated into the development process from the outset as a matter of course. We apply these standards to systematically achieve the best customer and patient satisfaction possible with respect to our devices and services.
