ISO 13485:2003 is the internationally recognized standard for the development,
production, and servicing of medical products.  In order to obtain ISO 13485
certification, a company must "demonstrate the ability to provide medical
devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory
requirements applicable to medical devices and related services."  During the
certification process, AMD LASERS partnered with TUV Rheinland, a renowned
international service group that serves as an ISO registrar, auditing the
safety and quality of new and existing products, systems, and services.

"It has been a pleasure to work with TUV Rheinland," said Amy Szentes,
Compliance Manager at AMD LASERS. "They are the gold standard in ISO
registrars and we feel this certification validates all of the hard work we
have put into both product quality and compliance."

"Achieving ISO 13485 certification further demonstrates our leadership and
commitment to the highest standards of our industry," said Alan Miller,
President and CEO of AMD LASERS. "We also have many potential customers in
Europe eager to purchase the Picasso, so our ability to use the CE mark is
another major step forward in our mission to provide advanced, affordable
dental lasers around the world. It's a proud day for our young company."
