ZVXI Zevex International (MM)

ZEVEX International (NASDAQ: ZVXI), today announced that, following an intensive review by TUV America, ZEVEX has met the rigorous requirements for certification to ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003. In addition, the company demonstrated during this review that its products conform to the European Union's Medical Device Directive (MDD) and the Canadian Medical Device Regulations (CMDR). The ISO certification is a globally recognized quality accreditation system.

The new certifications allow ZEVEX's medical devices to be freely distributed in the European Union and Canada, without the need for additional product inspections. David McNally, president and CEO, ZEVEX, said, "These certifications confirm our commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction. I am very proud of the team effort that was put forth by our employees to obtain these certifications. Employees from Quality Assurance, Operations, Research and Development, Customer Service and Marketing all played key roles in reaching this goal. The auditors focused on quality management systems, production processes and controls, design controls, customer-related processes, and customer satisfaction measurement. The professionalism and knowledge of the entire ZEVEX team in these areas directly contributed to these certifications." About ZEVEX ZEVEX International Inc.
