Sonora Medical Systems announces a new FirstCall users testing accreditation program directed at non-hospital based technical support entities such as third party service providers, ultrasound original equipment manufacturers, and multi-vendor service providers.
 
Sonora plans to site audit all program participants. Those seeking accreditation must also develop and maintain an internal quality system consistent and in compliance with several of the relevant elements of ISO9001/13485. Once accreditation is received, Sonora will perform annual and ongoing quality system surveillance audits.
 
Accredited users are eligible to purchase the full line of FirstCall products and will be licensed to create additional probe files for their FirstCall units and have them validated by the research and development group at Sonora before use.
