AllParts Medical awarded highest level quality certification from International Standards Organization

WHAT: AllParts Medical, a leading medical imaging parts and service support company acquired by Philips Healthcare in 2011, has been awarded ISO 13485:2003, a prestigious certification from the International Standards Organization (ISO). This certification signifies the highest level of quality certification in the health care medical equipment sector.

WHY: AllParts Medical acquires pre-owned medical equipment to facilitate the servicing and repair of imaging devices manufactured by other vendors, supporting a distinctively broad range of equipment modalities and models. In order to provide customers with  the highest level of assurance they are receiving the best quality and most reliable parts, AllParts pursued ISO 13485:2003 certification, one of the most stringent quality standards for medical device vendors that can be awarded to an organization by ISO.

“As more provisions of the Affordable Care Act go into effect, hospitals and imaging service organizations have never been under more pressure to ensure quality clinical care in the most cost effective manner possible,” said Steve Cannon, president, AllParts Medical. “One of the primary reasons we pursued this elite certification is to unequivocally demonstrate to hospitals and imaging service organizations that quality is our top priority. We understand clinicians rely on medical devices to help enable accurate and effective patient diagnosis, treatment and monitoring; and with our new certification, health care providers can have confidence that they are consistently getting the highest-quality parts and support for any of their imaging equipment, regardless of manufacturer.”

Due to the stringent standards that must be met to be awarded ISO 13485:2003, AllParts Medical is among a small group of multi-vendor equipment parts and support companies that has achieved this certification.
