The ISO 13485 standard is specifically designed to certify medical device manufacturers and their key suppliers. This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system, where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements. Pulse Systems has been certified under ISO 13485 continuously since 2009.
While not specific to medical device manufacturing, the ISO 9001 standard specifies broadly applicable requirements for a quality management system for organizations that need to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet both customer requirements, as well as applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Pulse Systems first adopted the ISO 9001 standard in 2006.
