&NA;Many medical device manufacturers have web sites where they provide useful, but not standardized information about their products and services. Similarly hospitals and clinics also have Web sites that can be accessed for information related to their services, and clinical engineers commonly have Web access. Because of the large numbers of manufacturers and clinical engineers, an effective means of interaction between the two is presently not available despite the availability of the Web. A missing link is a Web‐based system that could act as a central point of contact between clinical engineers and device manufacturers. This paper describes a model of such a communication system based on Internet technologies and relational databases. This system bridges the current communication gap and provides an effective and efficient means of information dissemination between device manufacturers and clinical engineers.
