Regulatory & Quality

Quality Impacts Lives

We are committed to meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations and regulatory requirements throughout our organization. Our Quality Management System (QMS) has been developed to conform to the exacting standards of today’s medical device industry. Our robust QMS is backed by a team of dedicated and highly trained quality professionals, who will assure conformity to every specification by employing our advanced metrology systems and measurement techniques to provide you with the highest-quality products and services in the medical device industry.

Quality Engineering

At the beginning of every new project, we work together with our customers to assure that quality is built into the products in the design stages. We accomplish this through our Stage Gate process with deliverables that include:

  • Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
  • Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
  • Statistical Based Control Planning (CP)
  • Measurements System Analysis (MSA)
  • Installation Qualification (IQ)
  • Operational Qualification (OQ)
  • Production Qualification (PQ)

We ensure that our processes have the documentation and traceability to meet the current medical device industry standards and practices.

Advanced Metrology

We continually invest in precision technology and employ a variety of software such as PC-DMIS, InSpec, MeasureMind 3D, Zone 3, Calypso and others to ensure we are meeting your highest quality standards.
