How is quality control for the EPIC Lift Capacity maintained?
First, EpicRehab has a United States patent for the “evaluation of the work capacity of injured people” that covers the EPIC Lift Capacity. This patent is enforceable in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Europe, Australia and Japan. Second, if an equipment maker wants to use the EPIC Lift Capacity, it must reach an agreement with EpicRehab to do so. EpicRehab receives a license fee from the manufacturer. Without such a contract, use of the EPIC Lift Capacity is illegal. The legal equipment manufacturers are BTE Technologies and RMA. Through their equipment manufacturers, EPIC Lift Capacity purchasers are provided a site license that allows legal use of the EPIC Lift Capacity at their clinic, just like computer software is licensed. These agreements require that all EPIC Lift Capacity users become formally trained and certified.
