Quality is our hallmark
J-Pac Medical is uncompromising in its commitment to quality, from the quality systems in place across our U.S. and Costa Rica facilities to the individual ownership our employees take over our quality procedures every day.
We demonstrate this commitment through:
- Maintaining FDA registration as a Medical Device Manufacturer (#1221051), including bi-annual FDA audits
- Annual ISO 13485 surveillance audits and full Quality Management System certification through the British Standards Institute (BSI)
- Frequent third-party and customer quality system audits
- Monthly non-viable testing, daily differential pressure monitoring and quarterly viable testing
- Lot traceability to suppliers’ raw material lot numbers through our ERP system
- Controlled labeling process and a dedicated secure room
- Lot release, including sterilization release
In addition, we utilize automated Quality System software and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to ensure precise inventory control, production scheduling, quality control and financial reporting.
70,000 square feet of dedicated medical device manufacturing and packaging space
With state-of-the-art facilities in Somersworth, New Hampshire and Costa Rica, J-Pac Medical supports 70,000 total square feet of dedicated medical device manufacturing, assembly and packaging space.
These sites include 12 total Class 7 and 8 cleanrooms, including a Class 7 dry room. Within these rooms are spaces dedicated to low-humidity manufacturing and solvent scouring for careful handling of bioabsorbable polymers.
Each site also features warehouse space with multiple shipping and receiving bays for flexible raw material and finished product staging.
In-house tooling center reduces costs and timelines
An extensive tool room in our Somersworth facility enables the rapid development of custom tooling for nearly every medical device and diagnostic application.
Our ownership of precision machinery supporting the fabrication of unique, custom tools means your custom requirement will be met with reduced time to market, increased program efficiency and the burden of equipment investment off your shoulders.
On-site labs streamline engineering, prototyping, testing and quality control
Product engineering and on-site quick-turn prototyping are available with in-house laboratory spaces where our team develops the validated processes you require to launch your product on the market.
In our quality control lab, trained inspectors monitor incoming components, in-process assemblies and final product releases.
In-house EtO sterilization for engineering and initial production scale-up
By offering medical device sterilization services in-house, J-Pac Medical saves you time by keeping more pre-commercial functions under one roof.
We also offer contract EtO sterilization services for small lot sizes or higher volumes of smaller parts, further streamlining your program as it scales to meet growing demand.
