DDL, our medical testing services division recently came to a cooperative agreement with Pennsylvania-based CITECH, whereby DDL will be taking on testing that was formerly conducted by CITECH.

CITECH (Center for Information on Technology for Health) is an independent testing organization which has served the medical device industry since 1989.  When CITECH President, Robert Mosenkis, decided to retire and close the business, he and DDL arranged for DDL to carry on with much of CITECH’s slate of medical device product testing.

Many of CITECH’s services already complemented our existing product and materials testing. By taking on some of CITECH’s business such as electrosurgical testing, DDL continues to expand its Product and Materials Division as well as assist CITECH’s clients with their testing.

“I wanted to be sure my clients were well taken care of.  In the past, I have referred companies to DDL when CITECH was unable to meet their testing needs,” Mosenkis said.

We have been in the medical device testing business for almost 20 years and have been expanding our Product and Materials Division’s capabilities over the last five years in order to better serve the medical industry.

Bob will stay on, working part-time with us at DDL to offer his expertise and to help our transition into CITECH’s line of business.
