GUIDE TO OUTSOURCING: OUTSOURCING NEWS

Millstone Medical Outsourcing (Fall River, MA) has added advanced equipment to its Memphis facility to increase production volume and speed. As part of an investment in its loaner kit processing services, the outsourcing firm added a washer/disinfecter and an auto-clave sterilizer to reduce kit turn time and provide for system redundancy.

“Our operations and distribution center in Memphis is strategically located to serve medical device manufacturers,” said CEO Christopher Ramsden in a company release. “As our Memphis operations continue to expand, we will enhance our facility, equipment, personnel, and processes to effectively serve our customers.”
The company also opened a 30,000-sq-ft facility in Fall River earlier this year to keep up with demand. The space was established to provide additional capacity for advanced inspection and cleanroom services. In addition to an advanced mechanical inspection area, the facility has a 5000-sq-ft cleanroom that incorporates ultrasonic clean lines within environmentally controlled areas. The site's inspection cell is outfitted with advanced equipment, including optical comparators, coordinate measuring machines, and vision systems. Copyright ©2009 Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry
