TAmiRNA is awarded ISO 13485:2016 certification of its Quality Management System
Vienna, Austria: MicroRNA diagnostic specialist TAmiRNA has announced that it has now received ISO 13485:2016 certification for its Medical Device and Quality Management System. This follows the company’s successful completion of the audit process in 2022 through the German notified body, MDC.
The ISO certification confirms that TAmiRNA’s quality management system (QMS) meets the currently most rigorous regulatory requirements applicable to the medical device industry. TAmiRNA will now apply this high standard to the development and manufacturing of its microRNA-based diagnostic tests, including hepatomiR®, for which a CE-mark (IVDD) was obtained in 2022.
MiRNA testing milestone
TAmiRNA Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Matthias Hackl commented: “We are very proud of this certification as it demonstrates the full commitment of our team to meet customer and international regulatory expectations for our in-vitro diagnostic tests.”
“ISO 13485:2016 is an internationally recognized quality systems standard tailored to the development and manufacturing of medical devices, including in-vitro diagnostic tests. This certification represents an important milestone for our company and reflects our rigorous and risk-based approach to development and commercialization of innovative microRNA-based tests,” Dr. Hackl noted.
