MRI Medical Names New RA/QA Director
MRI Medical has added a Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance director to its management team.
Ira Duesler, a medical device industry veteran with more than 18 years of experience in quality engineering and regulatory affairs, has joined the Tucson, Ariz.-based medical manufacturing firm as its director of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance (RA/QA).
Duesler will oversee efforts to streamline, expand and strengthen MRI Medical’s regulatory affairs and quality systems to support rapid growth, company executives said in a news release announcing the appointment.
“Ira’s appointment is a significant step in expanding our commitment to surpassing the highest quality standards like the ISO, CE and FDA requirements,” said Robert Kelliher, MRI Medical’s CEO. “His guidance will accelerate our ongoing device developments in gastroenterology, minimally invasive surgery, cardiology and urology. Ira understands the challenges of getting a device to market and creating a quality system that supports customers’ goals and does not overburden manufacturing operations.”
Duesler has held a variety of quality and regulatory jobs during his tenure in the medical device industry, including quality engineer, quality manager, RA/QA director and corporate regulatory affairs director. His experience ranges from quality assurance and engineering to domestic and international regulatory affairs and quality management system design and oversight, according to MRI Medical executives.
He has managed the compliance of many devices and technologies, including ECG monitoring, pulse oximetry, electrosurgery, endoscopic/laparoscopic surgical instruments, TENS/NMES, defibrillation and IV administration.
Duesler is a member of the Regulatory Affairs Professional Society, Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), American Society for Quality, and a former member of the AAMI Technical Committee.
