ISO 13485 is the international standard that governs the manufacture of medical devices and is rooted in ISO 9001. It includes requirements specific to medical device, including regulatory requirements, effectiveness monitoring, records management, manufacturing environment, risk analysis and design/development validation. The first edition was published in 1996 with updates released in 2003 and 2016. Genesis’ ISO 13485:2016 certification was performed by third-party entity SGS North America Inc.
