“As a global leader in power supplies for medical applications, it is imperative for us to be at the forefront of quality management,” said Scott Ziffra, vice president and general manager for marketing and solutions, Embedded Power, Emerson Network Power. “Being certified to ISO 13485 for medical equipment helps ensure that quality is designed and built into the medical product through the application of a proper quality system and helps to balance the many concerns of the medical device industry, public health and safety authorities. Not all power supply manufacturers are certified, however Emerson Network Power remains committed to helping medical equipment manufacturers get their products to market faster, cost-effectively and with less risk.”

The ISO 13485 standard details the requirements for a comprehensive system of manufacturing of medical devices. It promotes management awareness and responsibility of the regulatory requirements and controls the work environment to focus the organization on product safety and risk management. It specifies inspection, documentation, validation and traceability requirements for medical products, including corrective actions.
