The ISO 13485:2003 guideline requires that an organization demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet both customer and regulatory requirements for medical devices and related services. This stringent certification represents more than a twelve-month commitment on the part of Lorom West's management and employees and provides medical customers with the assurance that Lorom West's products will provide the quality they demand.

"Today's announcements, in conjunction with the Lorom Shenzhen China factory receiving their ISO 13485 : 2003 certification in the middle of last year, means that Lorom is now uniquely positioned to provide both domestic and offshore production capabilities for our customer's medical device needs."

"This has been an exciting year for Lorom West," said Gail Richardson, Manager of Quality and Compliance. "In addition to today's ISO 13485:2003 certification announcement and the roll out of our ERP initiative, during the past twelve months, we also went from ISO 9001:2000 directly to ISO 9001:2008.
