ISO

In order to become ISO 13485:2016 certified, a company has to meet stated quality requirements in a range of vital areas, including handling and delivery, internal quality audits, employee training, and more.

With an ISO certification, standardization and quality rule the day. This means that we hold ourselves to the highest standards when handling and repairing your scopes and devices.

When you partner with us, you don’t have to worry about receiving a scope that has been handled or repaired improperly.

An ISO certification speaks to the dedication of the company to quality control. ISO certifications are currently a choice––not a requirement––in the medical device repair industry (although this may change.) The fact that we are ISO certified demonstrates our serious commitment to quality.

We have a quality system in place which includes every aspect of the ISO 13485 requirements.

Our inspection process is rigorous. No part or product is allowed to continue on to the next stage unless it passes prescribed tests. This ensures that every aspect of your scope or device adheres to the highest standards.

The course of action taken with every scope is well documented and repairs are easily traced, in line with ISO requirements.

We are also required to ensure that we can handle any request before accepting any order, within the specified period of time. We will not accept your order unless we can handle all aspects of your project and return your device to you with the proper repairs completed in a timely fashion.
