We have an Industry Leading Quality System

Innovize is committed to continuous quality improvement, in the management of our own operations and in the projects and processes deployed for our clients. We listen to requirements, deliver on commitments and seek to streamline processes by eliminating non-value-added steps.

Our industry leading quality systems set us apart from other contract manufacturers. Innovize has been a partner with the FDA and MDIC on the Case for Quality Voluntary Improvement Program (CfQ VIP). We were involved in the pilot program and have been enrolled in this program since 2017.

Innovize uses the medical device industry’s first blueprint for medical device company quality system architecture. This blueprint is defined in the Consiliso textbook written by our Vice President of Quality, Mark Rutkiewicz. Mark’s two books on this Consiliso architecture provide industry best practices for all types of medical device companies. www.consiliso.com
