Richardson Healthcare Receives MDSAP Certification and Expands CT Tube Business into Canada

ALTA750® CT Tube Now Available for Sale in Canada

LAFOX, Ill., July 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Richardson Healthcare, a Division of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL), announces the company received its MDSAP certification and Canadian Device License allowing its flagship ALTA750^® CT Tube to be sold in Canada.

MDSAP, the Medical Device Single Audit Program, is a program that provides a single regulatory audit of a medical device manufacturer’s quality management system but satisfies the requirements of multiple regulatory jurisdictions. After receiving MDSAP, companies must then seek specific country approval. Richardson Electronics received its Canadian Device License by demonstrating the ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.

“For 75 years, quality has been at the core of our business strategy. Achieving the MDSAP certification and expanding into Canada reaffirms our commitment to the healthcare industry and producing the highest quality products,” said Edward J. Richardson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President.

As part of the MDSAP certification process, Richardson participated in a thorough audit of its quality system processes and product quality requirements. The company follows these standards throughout all departments, including customer service, design, manufacturing, assembly, and distribution.

With this certification and the Canadian Device License, our Canadian customers can be confident that Richardson Healthcare is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of quality, efficiency, and responsiveness required by their healthcare community.
