Glytec Achieves ISO Certification

Glytec is the first company to achieve this medical device certification in the glycemic management product space.


Greenville, SC — Glytec, LLC, a privately held medical software company, announced that it has achieved the ISO 13485:2003 Certification for its quality management and assurance processes for the safe design, production and installation of Glucommander 2.0 Enterprise software. Glytec is the first company to achieve this medical device certification in the glycemic management product space.

ISO is the world’s largest, most credible and relied upon process standards organization. The entire ISO process is designed around creating better customer results. By accepting the ISO challenge, an organization must agree to internal and e­­­xternal annual surveillance audits and an in-depth recertification audit every five years.

According to Trefor Thomas, Glytec CEO and President, “Achieving this certification says we are serious about patient safety; and it demonstrates to our internal team, our stakeholders and the marketplace that we are committed to achieving the highest levels of product quality and organizational effectiveness. When safety is our focus, everyone wins, from the patient to the medical staff and the hospital overall.”
