What level of quality do you feel is required in orthopedic implants, pacemakers and other critical, life-sustaining medical devices? The highest quality, of course!

It’s not a surprise that quality requirements are stringent for medical device manufacturers. A careful validation of the inspection process for medical devices is part of what ensures their high level of quality. These very important requirements extend to their use of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and metrology software. After all, CMMs and the software used to write CMM-based inspection routines remain a key quality tool for many manufacturers.
