Alliance Medical Passes Comprehensive FDA Directed Inspection.

PHOENIX -- Alliance Medical Corporation (Alliance), a leading reprocessor of single-use medical devices (SUDs), today announced that officials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have completed a comprehensive directed inspection of the company's Phoenix, Arizona facility and found that Alliance is in full compliance with the Quality System Regulations; Alliance was not issued a form 483 Notice of Inspectional Observations by FDA.

The inspection was directed from the Office of Compliance relating to the FDA's review of all Supplemental Validation Submissions (SVSs) on cleared 510(k) (premarket notifications) from reprocessing companies as directed by the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA).

"Alliance is extremely proud that the inspection by the FDA was successful and we passed with flying colors," said Don Selvey, vice president of regulatory affairs and quality assurance. "This validates Alliance's commitment to working closely with the FDA to ensure that we are in full compliance with all regulations. As a leader in the reprocessing industry, Alliance strives to set the standard for safety and quality of reprocessed devices in order to help hospitals control spending without compromising patient care."

Alliance is one of the industry's most trusted device reprocessing companies, providing hands-on support for customers. Alliance employs clinically trained and experienced service technicians and account executives who utilize its clinically focused, three-phased client support program, Assessment, Implementation and Management (AIM), to set up and manage the most efficient and effective SUD reprocessing program. The savings healthcare facilities achieve as a result can be used for vital patient services, new medical technology and nursing salaries, all of which lead to improved patient care.
