Update on Chinese Joint Venture
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 24, 2016) - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:VPT) announces that it has successfully achieved ISO 13485 registration for the manufacturing and
development centre in Toronto, Canada. This is a positive assessment of the Company's quality management system and is a
milestone in Ventripoint's history, as it now allows the manufacture and design of VMS™ devices in Canada.
"I congratulate our new Canadian team for the successful completion of the ISO audit," stated Dr. George Adams, President and
CEO of Ventripoint. "We can now finalize the design of the VMS-PLUS heart analysis system, which was recently showcased at the
annual congress of the American Society for Echocardiography in Seattle."
Ventripoint achieved the certification from a third-party registrar, Intertek Testing Services NA, Ltd, reaffirming the
Company's commitment to quality products, customer service and continuous improvement. This allows us to maintain a solid
foundation for regulatory approvals of our medical devices on a global basis.
ISO 13485:2003 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization must demonstrate its ability to
provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer requirements and regulatory requirements applicable
to medical devices and related services.
Chinese Partnership for Development, Manufacturing and Distribution
The Joint Venture in China is in the final stages of formation, incorporation and capitalization. A 48,000 sq. ft. office
and manufacturing facility has been secured. The facility is located in a development zone in the city of Ma'anshan in Anhui
