In the United States, our products are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration; in Europe our products are CE certified while in Russia our products have passed Toxicological and Clinical Trials. Our internal processes are being adhered to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified. We also have World Health Organization’s Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Environmental Management Systems ISO 14001 as well as Occupational Health and Safety OHSAS 18001:2007 accreditations.

All our products are manufactured using advanced methods and machinery and, more importantly, through advanced manufacturing processes. A world-renowned leader for process-quality accreditation, DNV of Norway, has audited our processes during 2005 - 2008 and now, by Moody International of UK.

WHO GMP - Good Manufacturing Practices
World Health Organizations Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a system that ensures that MGRM Products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.

The main risks are:
  • Unexpected contamination of products, causing damage to health or even death
  • Incorrect labels on containers, which could mean that patients receive the wrong product
  • Insufficient design resulting in ineffective treatment or adverse effects.
GMP covers all aspects of MGRM production, from raw materials, premises and equipment to training and personal hygiene of staff. Detailed, written procedures are available for each process that could affect the quality of the finished product.

MGRM system provides documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process - every time a product is made. WHO has established detailed guidelines for good manufacturing practice with which MGRM complies.
