Jacksonville, FL — February 2, 2017, ASPYRA, LLC (ASPYRA), a market leader in Picture Archive and Communication Systems (PACS), announced today that they have received the CE Mark on their PACS products including MedVIEW with AccessNET.

The validation process involves third party audits of the company’s internal practices and policies, documentation, and verification that appropriate European and US standards are being followed.

“ASPYRA has always followed standards including ISO 13485, ISO 14971:2012 for Risk Management, and USA Federal regulations such as the 21 CFR 820 and others from the FDA, HHS, et al” states Gary Bennett, ASPYRA President. “The CE mark checks against additional standards such as Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, MEDDEV 2.12-1 (Medical Devices Vigilance System), and EN62304:2006 (Medical Device Software Life Cycle). The CE Mark is a valuable tool for customers, particularly in conjunction with the ISO 13485 certification, giving them the utmost confidence that our products are made to the highest quality standards.”
