ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized quality standard for medical devices and Certification was provided by TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH, of Munich Germany, an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Certification Body.

ISO 13485 Certification provides our customers with an independent, globally recognized third-party validation of our Quality Systems and assurance they will receive the highest quality products. The Certification includes our Asanté ® HIV Assays which will provide unique tools enabling anyone from individual consumers to Clinicians to Public Health Programs to rapidly identify, diagnose and characterize HIV infections at home or at the point-of-care.

Recent studies indicate that more than 500 million HIV rapid diagnostics are needed globally to achieve HIV epidemic control and meet UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals by 2030. The aim is to diagnose 95% of all HIV-positive individuals, provide antiretroviral therapy medication for 95% of those diagnosed and achieve viral suppression for 95% of those treated. The first aim of diagnosing 95% of all HIV-positive individuals will require massive efforts by many NGO’s, government agencies and commercial partners to produce enough and the right type of diagnostic tests to help identify where new infections are occurring and make testing readily available in the field and at the point-of-care in order to achieve the target.
