Several threads and several thousands of posts have been made as we discuss what the background should (and should not) be for one to qualify as a CMI.
For years, members of the “other” association have argued against NACHI’s “certification” of its members.
Wait until you read the background requirements needed to run NAHI…
This deposition is a very interesting and revealing document. I’ll share some more tidbits as soon as I am finished laughing at this one.
Thanks for sharing, Harvey…

00014

8 membership coordinators, so there are four total staff
9 people.
10 Q And do those hours vary from week to week, month to
11 month?
12 A Yeah, pretty typically they vary. One of our membership
13 coordinators works on a different account as well, so –
14 Q Then does the Harrington Company invoice NAHI every
15 month for –
16 A Yes.
17 Q – for the amount of hours that were involved that
18 month?
19 A Yes.

25 they were a developer of catheters and penile implants.
00015
1 Q What did you do for that company?
2 A I worked for the executive vice president of quality and
*3 regulatory assurance[FONT=Arial]. *4 Q What were your duties?
5 A I worked for the VP doing executive secretarial work {Wasn’t Monica Lewinsky a Sec.?} and
6 then I also had a staff of six managers that had
7 everything to do with FDA approvals, TUV, audit
8 approvals, maintaining – when you get into medical
9 devices it’s all paperwork. You have to follow a very
10 rigorous protocol in doing and changing any specific
11 little item on the catheter or the penile implant.

This deposition was from the lady that is the “head” of NAHI right?:|.) \:D/
I have been told that the “Certification” to work on Penile Implants :oops:was very vigorous :shock:and took a lot of “hands on” training :-;; :shock:
I’m laughing so hard I can’t breathe… LOL!
It has to be a HARD job!
That explains your complete lack of technical posts on any bulletin board. Thanks for sharing.
Be careful, guys…
NAHI is watching you!!!
Lol!
I thought Nahi was a Home inspection org., I had no idea, it was a PENILE institution, or would that be colony? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Hey, Dom…Why don’t you go find someone to inflate your implant and leave me alone.
