Conshohocken, PA, July 18, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Estenda announced today that the company has achieved both ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003 certification. This independent certification validates Estenda’s long standing commitment to quality and affirms that Estenda’s Quality Management System (QMS) provides a solid foundation for their client’s health care software and medical device development initiatives.

“Achieving these certifications is another important plateau in Estenda’s ten year history. We are pleased that these certifications will greatly reduce the internal audit burden our clients face when selecting small, innovative firms like Estenda for major development projects. Nearly all of our client’s products eventually require international regulatory approval of one form or another. We believe Estenda’s certified compliance to these globally respected ISO standards will result in a more efficient regulatory approval path for our clients,” said Drew Lewis, President/CEO and co-founder of Estenda.

Achieving 13485 compliance allows Estenda to take on full responsibility for the design, creation and validation of software solutions for new and existing customers which including Fortune 100 companies, start-up medical device manufacturers and numerous academic research partners.

“Regulatory bodies here in the US and abroad are increasingly turning their attention to software, whether it’s EMRs, care management solutions, device integration, or mobile software it’s on their radar. In response, customers expect and demand their partners comply to industry best practices. Achieving certification allows Estenda to meet the needs of a growing healthcare software market place,” said Richard ‘RJ’ Kedziora, co-founded of Estenda.
