The global scale of DiaSorin's operations require the company to complywith a host of domestic and international quality regulations, including theIVD Directive, CE Marking, ISO 14971 and various Food and Drug Administrationrequirements in the United States. These regulations require documentation ofrisk assessment procedures and monitor the quality of incoming medicaldevices. For example, the FDA requires the inspection of foreign medicalsupply facilities before their products are sold in the United States.

DiaSorin's facilities operate independently from each other, but needed acommon way to assess risk and unify compliance. Individual teams are able toimprove their efficiency through the use of standard Dyadem templates usedacross the organization.

The resultis a unified approach to quality.

When evaluating potential solutions, DiaSorin used Dyadem Webdemonstrations to view FMEA-Med's capabilities. DiaSorin is now working withDyadem experts on-site to deploy the software, create process templates andtrain staff.
