Milestones

Documented checkpoints procurement teams still ask about

1941 — Orthopedic company roots established in Kalamazoo, Michigan; product documentation still traces design history file (DHF) and device master record (DMR) discipline to regulated design controls.
1979–1990s — Hospital bed and patient-handling portfolios expanded; quality system regulation (QSR) and good manufacturing practice (GMP) evidence became standard procurement attachments.
2010s–2024 — Connected monitoring, unique device identification (UDI), post-market surveillance (PMS), and clinical evaluation report (CER) packages became routine value-analysis requests alongside biocompatibility testing and EMC reports.
