The product's quality management system has been certified under the EN-ISO 13485:2012/ ISO 13485:2003 standard by Det Norske Veritas.
Biotec Pharmacon CEO Svein Lien said, "This certification is an important step in our efforts to get this novel product CE-marked for Europe by the end of the first half year of 2013, and a substantial achievement for a small company like ours."
