GF Health Products’ Rhode Island operation received ISO 13485:2003 certification for medical product manufacturing in March 2007. The addition of this certification reinforces GF's demonstrated ongoing commitment to improving our business processes to consistently meet and exceed our customers' expectations.

The ISO 13485 certification is another important milestone for GF.

The ISO 13485 registration process requires a variety of stringent controls that includes compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), product traceability, increased detail and control of technical data, customer complaint documentation and follow-up procedures, environment monitoring, risk identification and analysis.

This certification provides a critical building block for our continued growth in the high precision medical device market and is yet another example of the ongoing dedication to quality by our world-class Rhode Island operation.
