Upchurch Medical Receives ISO 13485 Certification
Oak Harbor, WA - March 1, 2006 – Upchurch Medical has received ISO 13485:2003 certification for its manufacturing facility, located north of Seattle, Washington. Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) performed the audit in January 2006 and recommended Upchurch Medical for certification immediately thereafter.
Upchurch Medical is a contract manufacturer of medical device components, with molding, extruding, machining and assembly capabilities as well as a Class 100,000 clean room. Upchurch Medical specializes in working with high performance engineering thermoplastic materials and manufactures components that are used across a variety of medical applications, including spine, orthopedics, cardiovascular, endoscopy and interventional radiology.
Upchurch Medical’s achievement in reaching ISO 13485 certification demonstrates their dedication to quality and customer service, a sentiment that is also expressed in their quality policy which reads: ”To manufacture safe, effective and reliable medical components that consistently bring value to the customer and are technically and clinically competitive worldwide.”
