QUALITY: ALWAYS A TOP PRIORITY

Quality assurance and risk control are key pillars of MARLE GROUP culture, ensuring that every step of our production is monitored, validated, and meets the most stringent international requirements of the orthopaedic industry.

A THOROUGH QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM AND PERTINENT CERTIFICATIONS

All of MARLE GROUP’s processes and activities meet or exceed the requirements of ISO 13485.
As our exclusive focus is on the manufacturing of orthopaedic devices, our Quality Management system has been expressly developed to concentrate on:

  • Strict compliance with medical device regulatory requirements
  • Validation of all special manufacturing processes
  • Systematic risk analysis as defined in ISO 14971

MARLE GROUP works exclusively with internally approved suppliers and has set up an exceptionally stringent quality control system for raw materials to ensure the reliability and efficiency of our group processes and to eliminate any potential product risks.

SYSTEMATIC VALIDATION OF ALL PRODUCTION PROCESSES
