IBA Dosimetry & Meditest : 5 years of exclusive partnership 

Since January 2020, MEDITEST has been the exclusive distributor and service partner of IBA Dosimetry in France. Five years of a strategic partnership combining the technological excellence of a global leader in quality assurance with the local support and field expertise of a long-established French company. A look back at a partnership that is now a benchmark in the French radiotherapy community.

IBA Dosimetry, a world leader in quality assurance in radiotherapy

One mission: to protect, improve, and save lives

IBA Dosimetry has established itself as the global benchmark in quality assurance for radiotherapy and proton therapy . With over 220 employees located in Germany, France, China, and the United States, the company develops integrated solutions recognized by the world's leading healthcare institutions.

IBA Dosimetry's mission is clear: "to protect, improve, and save lives" by advancing quality assurance in the field of radiotherapy. This commitment translates into solutions that combine precision, reliability, and efficiency —three essential pillars for ensuring the safety of patients and healthcare professionals.

IBA Dosimetry is part of the IBA Group, a global medical technology company focused on developing integrated and innovative solutions for cancer diagnosis and treatment . This affiliation gives IBA Dosimetry the financial strength and innovative capabilities that make a difference in a constantly evolving market.

A complete range dedicated to patient safety

IBA Dosimetry offers a complete range of software and hardware quality assurance solutions :

  • Advanced dosimetry solutions : ionization chambers, electrometers, reference phantoms
  • myQA platform : the backbone of integrated quality assurance solutions, enabling centralized and intuitive management
  • BluePhantom 3 : cutting-edge technologies for radiotherapy beam quality control
  • myQA Daily : a simplified solution for daily checks, ensuring optimal equipment availability
  • Calibration procedures : guaranteed metrological traceability according to international standards
  • Services and training : comprehensive support to maximize efficiency and safety

These solutions are recognized worldwide for their precision, efficiency and reliability , three essential qualities when it comes to ensuring the accuracy of doses delivered to patients in radiotherapy.

January 2020: Birth of a strategic partnership

A natural convergence between two complementary areas of expertise

On January 23, 2020 , MEDITEST and IBA Dosimetry officially announced their partnership in the French radiotherapy market. This strategic choice for both partners is based on clear complementarity .

On one hand, IBA Dosimetry brings the technological excellence of a world leader, innovative solutions validated by the largest international radiotherapy centers and a capacity for continuous innovation supported by more than 220 experts dedicated to quality assurance.

On the other hand, MEDITEST brings 40 years of expertise in the French market for quality control in medical imaging, an intimate knowledge of French regulatory constraints (ASN, IRSN), close field contact with the medical physicist community and the ability to provide long-term support.

The result: MEDITEST becomes the exclusive distributor and service partner for the entire IBA Dosimetry range in the French market. This exclusivity guarantees French users privileged access to IBA innovations, expanded stock for immediate availability, and local technical support.

A shared ambition: to improve patient safety

Beyond the commercial agreement, this partnership is based on a convergence of values ​​and a common ambition : to improve patient safety and the performance of quality assurance solutions in radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy is a discipline where precision is vital . An error of a few millimeters or a few percent in dose can have dramatic consequences: underdosing, compromising therapeutic efficacy, or overdosing, causing serious side effects on healthy tissue. Quality assurance is not an option; it is an ethical and regulatory obligation.

IBA Dosimetry and MEDITEST share this conviction: the best technologies must be accessible , mastered and supported to fully deploy their potential for patient protection.

Meditest : much more than a distributor

Priority access to IBA innovations

As the exclusive distributor, MEDITEST benefits from privileged access to IBA innovations before their release on the French market. This translates into:

  • MEDITEST teams on new IBA products
  • Stock built up in advance to guarantee immediate availability upon launch
  • Priority feedback from the field to IBA to adapt solutions to French specificities
  • Participation in beta testing of new myQA features or new hardware

Result: you gain access to the latest IBA innovations with immediate operational support , without any availability delays or skills development time.

Permanent stock and guaranteed availability

Meditest maintains a permanent stock of the entire IBA Dosimetry range, equivalent to several weeks of sales. This proactive stock policy guarantees:

  • Fast delivery : orders shipped within 24 to 48 hours anywhere in France
  • No stock shortages on critical products (chambers, electrometers, consumables)
  • Immediate availability for emergency situations (breakdown, replacement)
  • Peace of mind planning : no international supply delays to anticipate

In practice

Do you need an ionization chamber for an urgent quality control inspection? Order today, receive it tomorrow. No French facility should have to postpone a regulatory inspection due to delivery delays.

Training and long-term support

Distributing the world's best technologies is not enough if users do not fully master their potential. That's why Meditest places training at the heart of the IBA partnership .

Initial enhanced training

For each IBA equipment installation, Meditest provides comprehensive user training :

  • Getting to grips with the equipment : handling, usage protocols, preventive maintenance
  • Proficiency in the myQA platform : configuration, results analysis, workflow management
  • Regulatory compliance : assistance in implementing internal quality control protocols that comply with ASN requirements
  • Documentation in French : user guides, standard procedures, translated technical support materials

Continuous technical support

Beyond initial training, Meditest provides ongoing technical support :

  • Technical support from our IBA-trained experts
  • configuration assistance for complex use cases
  • Coordination with IBA if manufacturer expertise is required (international escalation)
  • Regulatory monitoring : information on changes in standards and professional recommendations

Coordinated maintenance and after-sales service

Meditest provides local after-sales service for the entire IBA Dosimetry range:

  • Technicians trained by IBA in the specifics of the equipment
  • Diagnosis and repair on site or in workshop depending on criticality
  • Full coordination with international IBA support if necessary
  • Spare parts in stock for critical equipment
  • Preventive maintenance contracts to guarantee optimal availability

The goal: to offer you the responsiveness of a local partner with the expertise of a global leader .

Five years later: a partnership that has proven its worth

Hundreds of installations across France

Since 2020, Meditest has equipped hundreds of radiotherapy facilities across France with IBA Dosimetry solutions. These facilities cover the entire spectrum of establishments:

  • University hospitals and major university hospital centers : complex technical platforms with proton therapy, advanced IMRT, stereotactic radiotherapy
  • Cancer centers : historical CLCCs and new regional centers
  • Private radiotherapy clinics : facilities of all sizes, equipped with the latest generation accelerators
  • Research centers : medical physics institutes, metrology laboratories

This diversity of installations demonstrates the versatility of IBA solutions and Meditest ability to support all types of configurations, from the most standard to the most sophisticated.

A relationship of trust with the French radiotherapy community

Beyond the figures, this partnership has made it possible to build a lasting relationship of trust with French medical physicists, medical radiographers and biomedical engineers.

This trust rests on three pillars:

1. The reliability of IBA solutions
