Stop replacing. Start repairing with Smarter engineering. Better outcomes at Lower cost.
Istela Healthcare Solutions is an independent UK-based provider of medical and endoscopy equipment services, challenging traditional service models by delivering smarter, more cost-effective and technically capable solutions.
Across public and private healthcare providers, Istela delivers planned and corrective maintenance, asset management, equipment auditing, storage and logistics, and specialist consultancy. Unlike larger, process-driven providers, we prioritise flexibility, speed and accountability—adapting to each organisation rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.
At the core of Istela is a highly capable central engineering workshop, where real expertise drives real outcomes. This capability is extended nationwide through our network of field-based senior technicians, providing responsive, on-site support backed by deep technical knowledge. Our senior biomedical, electronic and mechanical engineers specialise in component-level fault finding and refurbishment—recovering complex medical devices that others would simply replace. From endoscopy systems and flexible endoscopes to specialist biomedical test analysers and multi-parameter patient simulators, we extend asset life and reduce unnecessary capital spend.
Our engineers utilise industry-leading test and calibration equipment through our partnership with Datrend Systems Inc. This enables advanced diagnostics, precise performance verification and OEM-aligned calibration—delivering manufacturer-level assurance without manufacturer cost.
We also support firmware, connectivity and system optimisation, ensuring equipment performs effectively within modern, digitally connected healthcare environments.
Our experience spans the NHS, private healthcare, OEM environments and the military. This breadth of exposure enables us to take best practice from across sectors, learn from legacy challenges and apply a more intelligent, transparent approach to service delivery.
Istela was built to do what others won’t. While many providers rely on replacement or escalation, we repair, diagnose and resolve at source—improving uptime, reducing delays and delivering meaningful cost savings.
As a truly vendor-neutral provider, we give healthcare organisations greater control—removing dependency on OEMs and overcoming the limitations of larger third-party providers.
Our engineers are hands-on, accountable and invested in outcomes, taking a pragmatic approach that prioritises performance, value and patient safety.
UKAS ISO 13485 accredited and operating via the Crown Commercial Services Framework, Istela ensures quality, compliance and accessible procurement.
