Invibio announced that its laboratories have been accredited to ISO 17025:2005 by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, allowing for independent laboratory testing by Invibio.
The new accreditation by UKAS minimizes Invibio's reliance on third-party testing laboratories.
"For years, Invibio's PEEK-OPTIMA polymers have been the preferred materials of choice for spinal interbody fusion devices," said Keith Cartwright, quality and regulatory leader, medical and regulatory compliance at Invibio. "Accreditation to ISO 17025:2005 reassures them that our polymers and the processes under which they are tested and validated meet the highest international standards. This accreditation underlines our dedication to continually improving our quality assurance procedures in both production and testing."
