LEXINGTON, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MedPro Safety Products, Inc. (OTCBB: MPSP), a leading developer of transformational technologies that enable safer medication delivery and blood collection, today announced that it has passed its ISO 13485 recertification audit. The ISO 13485 standard represents the requirements for a comprehensive management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices.
“The recertification is a testament to MedPro’s commitment to quality,” said W. Craig Turner, Chairman and CEO of MedPro Safety Products. “We place the highest priority on ensuring our quality management system complies with the ISO Medical Device standard, FDA regulations and the Medical Device Directive. During this recertification process, we expanded the scope of the certificate to include the design and manufacture of fluid delivery devices. The updated scope reflected our expanding portfolio which will allow MedPro to further address three compelling, yet unmet needs in the market: clinician safety, patient safety and community safety.”
