Wideblue to implement ISO13485 and ISO9000 by mid 2015

Wideblue have engaged Compliance Solutions Limited and notified body LRQA to update Wideblue’s quality management system with a view to achieving ISO13485 during 2015.

Wideblue are already familiar with the requirements of the Medical Device Directive, ISO13485, CE marking and have helped many clients achieve certification of their new products, however, we have never had the need to put the certification in place for ourselves.

Wideblue have seen a large increase in demand for the design, development and manufacturing of new medical devices over the past few years and the time is now right to put this certification in place.

Wideblue Completes Innovate UK project on Cryopreservation of Therapeutic Cells Project

Wideblue, Coolgenics and other partners have successfully completed a project titled “Automated delivery of high-viability therapeutic cell populations following revival from cryopreservation”.

All the work packages have been completed, one patent has already been filed (one more to go) and we held the end of project meeting this week.

All involved agreed that the project had been very successful with some great results from the prototype products developed. We even have a few potentially quick-to-market spin-off products to pursue. Despite the name change, we still prefer to call Innovate UK the TSB.
