Nightingale Health Plc’s Singaporean subsidiary Nightingale Health Asia Pte. Ltd. (“Nightingale Health”) has been granted ISO 13485:2016 certification. ISO 13485 is the international quality management system standard for the design, production and distribution of medical devices. ISO 13485 is a requirement for medical device distribution in Singapore, and together with the earlier announced Health Sciences Authority approvals, this certification makes Nightingale Health ready to launch its blood testing service in Singapore before the end of the calendar year.

This recognition was granted by an independent certification body after an audit where Nightingale Health’s quality processes were reviewed. This achievement confirms Nightingale Health’s commitment to product and service quality and shows that it adheres to stringent regulatory requirements globally.

To make Nightingale Health’s blood analysis technology available in Southeast Asia, Nightingale Health collaborates with Innoquest Diagnostics, a leading clinical diagnostics service provider in Singapore and a subsidiary of Pathology Asia Holdings. Nightingale Health’s blood testing service will be offered to healthcare providers through Innoquest Diagnostic’s customer network.

“This certification is a very important step for Nightingale Health’s operations in Southeast Asia. I am very proud that we once again demonstrated that we can manage different regulatory processes in different environments efficiently and with excellent results. We are making strong progress and are ready for commercial launch in Singapore before the end of the calendar year”, says Teemu Suna, CEO and Founder of Nightingale Health.
