This is with reference
to the letter received by this Department from some of the manufactures of ultra
sound machines finding difficulty in selling their machines to the clinics /
centres on account of non issuance of Registration Certificate by the
Appropriate Authorities due to non-availability of machine number, model no.
invoice no. etc. As you aware, according to the amendment to the PNDT Act, which
has come into operation w.e.f.14.02.2003, the ultra sound machines can not be
sold to the clinics/ centres which are not registered under the PNDT Act. In
this connection, I am to say that it is only the clinic/ Centre which is to be
registered and not the machine's) or the equipment. The details of all machines
etc, already acquired by the clinic/centre at the time of registration are to be
communicated in the registration certificate and the machine acquired after
registration can be added therein on receipt of information there of under Rule
13. Hence while applying for registration of the clinic/body, there is no need
for the clinic to take a decision on any particular model or make of the machine
to be purchased.
You are, therefore
request to take immediate action for issuing the registration certificate to the
centres / clinics who have applied for registration certificate with our asking
them to indicate model, make, serial no. etc. in the application of
registration. All these details can be added subsequently as mentioned in the
above Para.
