UK-based certification body, Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), has awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification to Medical Equipment Solutions and Applications (MESA) for achieving continuous process improvement and quality assurance.
The new ISO certification complements the previous ISO 13485:2003 certification granted by LRQA in April 2011.
MESA's ISO 13485:2003 certification covers its core asset management solutions sets in diagnostic imaging service, turn-key equipment and capital spare parts including CT/X-ray tubes.
ISO implementation consultant Wayne Foster said dual quality certifications are quite rare in the medical device industry for independent non-OEM companies.
"MESA is the only multi-vendor independent service company in Europe to attain both," Foster added.
MESA Group Holdings executive chairman Rob Piconi said, "This recognition demonstrates the dedication of our employees in every country to exceptional service delivery in support of the highest level of patient care as a genuine asset management partner with our customers."
