Guava

has announced that it has been successfully audited to the requirements
of ISO13485:2003 by BSI Management Systems. With this certification,
the company will redouble efforts on medical devices for the international
market, covering a variety of therapy areas, beginning with HIV/AIDS.

"We
are proud to receive this international recognition," said
Lawrence Bruder, President and CEO, Guava Technologies. "It's
a clear indication of our ability to consistently meet regulatory
and customer requirements for medical devices, and reflects our
intense commitment to the highest possible standards for design,
development, manufacture, and service for all of our products."
"ISO
certification was the first step in our initiatives to deliver quality
medical devices to the global healthcare community," continued
Mr. Bruder. "We can now focus on international commercialisation
of our new CD4 T-cell System for monitoring treatment of HIV/AIDS.
We designed the system to be highly accessible to both developed
and developing countries, and hope it will prove useful in fighting
the global AIDS pandemic."
"We
have always been committed to stringent quality standards, and are
equally committed to having a positive impact on people's lives,"
said Todd Christian, VP Commercial Operations, Guava Technologies.
"By achieving ISO certification, we can more fully leverage
our patented technologies and expertise to improve the health and
well-being of people around the world, beginning with the millions
living with HIV."

and ISO 13485 is an internationally recognised standard to establish
the quality management systems applicable to manufacturers of medical
devices. It is harmonised to FDA 21 CFR part 820.
