About Us
NAMSA is medical research organization providing expert regulatory, laboratory, clinical, and compliance services to medical device and healthcare product manufacturers. At every stage of the product development process, we provide strategic guidance and tactical support to help clients commercialize medical products in the major markets of the world.
We serve as your trusted partner, using our insight to identify strategies for saving time, while never compromising quality. We know that compromised quality can quickly take your product right back to the starting line. That’s why it’s so important to have a smart strategy from the outset—and why we put it at the forefront of every project.
The path to regulatory approval can be long and complex. We provide a reliable way to get there.
Our History
NAMSA started in 1967 when a glass manufacturer in Toledo, Ohio approached a clinical lab to test polymeric materials for pharmaceutical container testing. The clinical lab passed, but a scientist-entrepreneur took the project on, following methods outlined in the United States Pharmacopeia. Soon thereafter, Science Associates was born, and testing expanded to medical devices and materials. In 1976, Congress authorized FDA to regulate medical devices, and North American Science Associates, Inc. had already been testing such products for 10 years. Regulations continued to evolve and become more complex, and NAMSA has been an integral part in developing domestic and international standards for testing medical devices, materials and combination products over the past 45 years.
Today, in addition to laboratory testing, our services have grown to include expert regulatory, clinical, and compliance services. At every stage of the product development process, we provide strategic guidance and tactical support to help clients commercialize medical products in the major markets of the world.
