FALL RIVER, Mass., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Millstone Medical Outsourcing announced today that the company, specifically the Memphis, TN, facility, registered with the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as a human tissue bank, under regulation 21CFR1271, in order to expand services to manufacturers of products containing human cells or tissues used in surgical procedures, such as orthopedic implants.  In addition, Millstone has completed specific registration and licensing requirements necessary to store and distribute human tissue and bone products in six states and is pursuing registration or licensing in four more.  Millstone, outsource partner to the nation's top orthopedic companies, is the fast-growing provider of advanced inspection, clean room packaging, loaner kit processing, and distribution services to medical and dental device manufacturers worldwide.    

Registration with the FDA as a human tissue bank entails fulfillment of a wide variety of technical requirements related to environmental controls, equipment, supplies, labeling, tracking, as well as processing, storage, and distribution.  The human tissue bank protocols will be provided in conjunction with the Memphis facility's services, including warehousing and distribution, returns processing, and loaner kit processing.  The Memphis location was selected to enable customers to take advantage of later ship times, which will reduce transit times, enhance quality, and decrease costs.
