“Naprotek has been the high reliability EMS provider in Silicon Valley for 24 years,” stated Jayne Carthy, Director of Strategic Business Development. “Our customers depend on us, and we take great pride in our quality and service. PERIOD!  Our ISO 13485 is a certification that we take very seriously as more than 25 percent of our annual revenue is driven from the MedTech industry. As we continue to grow, this will remain a cornerstone of our business.”

The ISO 13485 standard supplements the ISO 9001 standard and is specific to medical device quality systems. ISO 13485:2012 was published in January 2012 and supersedes ISO 13485:2003.
