ATEK Medical creates new quality and regulatory job.

ATEK Medical has hired a former Medtronic executive to oversee its quality improvement processes and ensure the company is complying with FDA regulations.

Felix Le also is responsible for making certain that the Grand Rapids, MI-based firm complies with international regulatory policies in his new role as director of quality and regulatory affairs.

"The medical industry is one of continuous improvements and consistently changing regulations," said Chris Oleksy, ATEK Medical president." With the opening of our Costa Rican plant and increased production volume, maintaining the highest levels of quality and regulatory compliance is essential. The addition of Le to the ATEK team solidifies our commitment to manufacturing the best product with the most efficient process while maintaining a highly controlled environment."

Le has more than 20 years of experience in regulated industries, most of which he spent at Medtronic in positions of increasing responsibility. He most recently served as senior manufacturing and pharmaceutical quality manager for Medtronic's neuromodulation business unit.

Prior to Medtronic, Le worked in the naval division of FMC Corp., a Philadelphia, PA-based chemical company.
