Elite Biomedical: Nobody Does it Better

Elite Biomedical Solutions supports hospital biomed departments with new replacement parts, re-certified parts, on-site service and repairs that keep clinical equipment performing at optimal levels.

“No other supplier does it better,” according to the company’s website.

The ambition to be the best dates back to the company’s beginnings and continues to be a driving force with every employee from upper management to the most recent hire.

Elite Biomedical Solutions is almost four years old and the majority of its employees were already in the health care industry when Nate Smith and Jeff Smith started the business.

“The owners/employees brought great relationships with suppliers, customers, and the expertise to run the business with them when they created/joined Elite Biomedical Solutions,” Nate Smith said. “We’ve also surrounded ourselves with great business partners who have been there to help guide us as we grow the business.”

The business was launched to meet a need and continues to serve the health care industry and, just as importantly, the communities they call home.

“We believe there is a huge void that needs to be filled in this area. In four years, we have grown from nine employees to 18, from 1,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet and have acquired a large portfolio of infusion pump parts,” Nate Smith explained. “We’re positioned to continue to grow our pipeline of new replacement parts. We are here to raise the bar in healthcare. Our company has been built on our Christian faith, which has blessed and given us this opportunity. We recognize how fortunate we are at Elite Biomedical Solutions and strive to make a difference each and every day to our employees, customers, business partners, and communities.”

Being a young and rapidly growing business comes with challenges. Elite Biomedical Solutions has had challenges and has met them head on.

“We went through a voluntary recall on one of our products last year. This is a major cause of concern for any company and this could have been devastating. However, instead of running from the issue, we effectively implemented a well thought out strategy. Our goal was simple. We wanted to ensure patient safety, by working closely with the FDA as well as communicating any and all updates to our customers,” Nate Smith said. “When faced with adversity, your true character is seen by those around you. We now do all reverse engineering and precision measuring in-house with our new design team, to ensure our Quality meets the customer and OEM standards.”

“In addition to this, we have worked diligently to reach a goal of achieving Elite’s ISO certifications,” Nate Smith adds. “Jeff and I made the decision to become dual certified and in March we achieved both ISO 13485:2003 and 9001:2008!”

The growth continues and the future looks bright as Elite Biomedical Solutions gears up for expansion.

“New parts for other medical equipment modalities are coming in 2016,” Nate Smith said. “We have developed a pipeline of new products that will take us into 2018. We are excited to broaden our horizons outside of just I.V. pumps and continue to brand our company as the new replacement parts provider in health care.”

“We can fully service the majority of all large volume, syringe, PCA OEM infusion pumps within the industry, including Hospira, Baxter, CareFusion and B. Braun,” he added.

The success of the company adds to the growth of the Elite “Gives Back” Foundation that supports causes in the Cincinnati area and beyond.
