WESTON, Fla., Nov. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- American
Scientific Resources, Inc. (the "Company" or "ASR")
(Pink Sheets: ASFX) announces today that the Company is officially
an approved manufacturer of medical devices under the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), the world's largest
developer and publisher of international business standards.
ASR also recently became a FDA approved manufacturer of various
medical devices operating under the ISO 13485 Directive of Quality
Systems Manual and Good Manufacturing Practices.
Within the past week, the Company went through an ISO inspection
conducted by world renowned TUV SUD. The one-week highly
intensive process included implementing a complete traceability and
management accountability function in all aspects for a medical
device manufacturer and for an audit for a CE mark submission.
When the CE mark is issued, sales to the European Union, Canada, China and the Australasia regions can
commence. ASR will update the public when the CE mark has
been officially issued. The Company expects that to occur within
the next 60 days, although there can be no guarantees. The CE mark,
also known as European Conformity mark, is declaration that a
manufacturer's product complies with the essential requirements of
the European product directives including containing essential
requirements, performance levels and technical specifications in
order to legally be placed on the market within the EFTA and
European Union. Having the mark opens up market distribution
by enabling ASR to sell product worldwide, namely in areas that the
Company is pursuing, such as Canada, Europe, China
and the Australasia region.
The adoption of international standards by a Company certifies
to the world that Company products are of the highest quality, with
widespread acceptance internationally. Abiding by ISO standards
ensures products contain the most desirable characteristics
including reliability, safety, efficiency, eco-friendly and
affordability. Businesses who use the international standards can
compete on many more markets globally, making it easier, safer and
fairer for trading to ensue.
Per ISO.org, "For innovators of new technologies, International
Standards on aspects like terminology, compatibility and safety
speed up the dissemination of innovations and their development
into manufacturable and marketable products. For consumers,
conformity of products and services to International Standards
provides assurance about their quality, safety and reliability. ISO
standards safeguard consumers, and users in general, of products
and services."
Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta, CEO
and Chairman of ASR, comments, "Another exciting Company milestone
has been achieved by successfully passing the world's definitive
business standardized system."
