ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Zomedica Corp. (OTCQB:ZOMDF) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), an animal health company offering innovative point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic device products for equine and companion animals, today announced that it has earned ISO 13485:2016 certification for its manufacturing and distribution operations in Plymouth, Minnesota and Roswell, Georgia. This milestone further cements Zomedica's commitment to quality, compliance, and global market readiness.
Certification Highlights & Operational Impact
ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized standard for quality management systems tailored to the medical device industry. Its rigorous requirements encompass design, development, production, servicing, risk management, and regulatory compliance over a device's lifecycle. The certification was awarded following an independent audit that validated Zomedica's conformity with these stringent criteria.
"Achieving ISO 13485 certification represents a pivotal milestone for Zomedica, reflecting the quality infrastructure that underpins our growth strategy," said Tony Blair, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Zomedica. "This accomplishment not only reinforces our commitment to delivering safe and effective solutions for veterinarians and their patients, but also enhances our ability to expand globally, accelerate market adoption, produce products for the human health market and create long-term value for our shareholders."
