ABOUT ORTOMA
Controllable Treatment Solutions With Cutting Edge Technology
Orthopaedic surgical procedures involve several challenging steps and many technical components. Ortoma’s goal is to improve patients’ lives by developing efficient, innovative products to support surgeons so they can provide the best possible outcome for their patients while keeping them in control of the entire process.
HISTORY
As a True Pioneer
The connection between art, science, and medicine exists since the beginning of time and curiosity is its driving force. Ortoma believes that improving medical science comes with using cutting-edge technology. That philosophy is what inspired Ortoma to develop products to improve the patient’s quality of life. We focus on developing technology solutions for orthopaedics procedures. In 2011, Ortoma initiated the development of a 3D pre-operative planning platform for orthopaedics procedures with hip replacement surgery as the first priority.

Quality Management System for Medical Devices
Perhaps more than any other product, medical devices’ quality directly impacts their effectiveness and the patient, users, and other people’s safety. Therefore, most national regulatory bodies require medical device manufacturers and suppliers to have an internal quality management system that is independently verified and audited.
Ortoma´s Quality Management System is ISO 13485 certified. The standard specifies requirements for a quality management system of a medical device manufacturer and includes specific requirements concerning e.g. development, production, marketing, distribution, and sale of medical devices. ISO 13485 is similar in scope and intent to ISO 9001 and includes additional requirements specific to medical devices.
Ortoma´s quality management system is also audited and certified as part of the CE certification of Ortoma´s products and is in compliance with applicable requirements in the U.S. 21 CFR820 (QSR) concerning quality management system.
