General Service Inquiries

Many times service events can be easily remedied with simple solutions within the system software.  As such, we suggest all our clients contact us toll free for all service and support requests.

Precision Testing

In accordance with most accreditation programs and provincial health authority policies, Aymes Medical strongly recommends that DXA BMD technologists complete a precision study.  This is of paramount importance for a reporting physician to determine the least significant change when reporting follow-up exams.  Contact us for support and we can help determine your facility specific precision error.
