Quality means much more than compliance. For quality to prevail it must be a daily obsession shared by every person during every moment of every day.

GMP

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

We demonstrate unwavering regulatory commitment and compliance to international GMP standards for medical devices.  All our manufacturing activities occur under strict GMP requirements with the goal of ensuring product quality as well as safeguarding the health of consumers and patients.

This includes strict compliance and consistent controls governing cleanliness, contamination, manufacturing procedures, record keeping and quality assurance.

Cleanrooms ISO 7

Cleanrooms

We have extensive cleanroom areas which are designed and built as ISO 7 cleanrooms. Incoming air is filtered and supplied to all cleanroom areas; which have air locks, pressure differentials, air exhaust and special cleanroom gowning requirements. Pressure differentials are in a cascading arrangement to ensure clean air flows from the ‘inner’ more critical rooms to the airlocks, and then outer corridors.

Information security

We put security at the centre of all information services and infrastructure, using ISO27001 and Australian Security Directorate's Essential 8 as our benchmark.  We also conduct twice annual security reviews to provide updated mitigation strategies against a broad range of cyber threats customised for our risk profile.
