Quality & Regulatory

Tegra Medical is focused 100-percent on the medical device industry, so we understand the critical nature of the components and devices we produce. Quality is as important to us as it is to you.

The cost of sub-standard quality can be significant, so we have implemented robust quality procedures and cGMP practices to ensure adherence to all quality requirements and customer specifications. To ensure the highest levels of quality for your medical device, these are some of the actions we take:

• Examine first pass yields
• Use real-time statistical process control (SPC)
• Deploy lean manufacturing/Six Sigma tools to eliminate waste and remove variation from our manufacturing processes
• Employ six Black Belt certified engineers that play a key role in driving our quality and continuous improvement focus throughout the organization
• Validate special processes to ensure repeatability, minimize inspection time and reduce cost
• Are ISO 13485:2003 certified and compliant with FDA’s Quality System Regulations (QSR) in all facilities, and ISO 9001:2008 certified in Franklin, Dartmouth, and Costa Rica
• Train our employees to ensure that we continuously improve critical skill sets and integrate a quality discipline into everything we do
