Skyline Medical Receives ISO 13485 Certification for STREAMWAY(R) System
Paves Way for Application to Market in Canada & International Markets
MINNEAPOLIS, June 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyline Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:SKLN) ("Skyline" or "the Company", producer of the FDA-approved STREAMWAY System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, announces that it has received ISO 13485:2003 certification for its STREAMWAY System. ISO certification is an internationally recognized quality standard for medical devices that is awarded when an organization demonstrates its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services, and is a requirement for medical device clearance in Canada, the EU and a majority of other countries that require products meet EU safety, health and environmental requirements.
"This is an important step to penetrating a broader market for the STREAMWAY System," said Carl Schwartz, D.D.S., interim chief executive officer of Skyline Medical. "We plan to apply to Health Canada for marketing authorization in the coming weeks. We believe that this ISO Certification, along with our U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance, should result in the grant of a Medical Device License to sell the STREAMWAY System and related disposable products in Canada by the end of the summer."
"The process for obtaining ISO Certification is quite rigorous, and we are very excited to receive it. Skyline has proven that its design, manufacturing, quality systems along with STREAMWAY's value to patients meet the highest standards," commented Dave Johnson, chief operating officer of Skyline Medical.
About the STREAMWAY System
Skyline Medical's revolutionary, FDA-cleared STREAMWAY System is the first true direct-to-drain fluid disposal system designed specifically for medical applications, such as radiology, endoscopy, urology and cystoscopy procedures. It connects directly to a facility's plumbing system to automate the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids, and minimizes human intervention for better safety while improving compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines. It also provides unlimited capacity for increased efficiency in the operating room, which leads to greater profitability. The STREAMWAY eliminates canisters to reduce overhead costs and provides greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the U.S.

Skyline Medical's STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluids and is designed to: 1) reduce overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improve compliance with OSHA and other regulatory agency safety guidelines, 3) improve efficiency in the operating room, and radiology and endoscopy departments -- leading to greater profitability, and 4) provide greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills annually in the United States.
