Maryann Girardi received her Bachelor of Science in physical therapy degree from the University of Lowell, Lowell, MA, and her Doctor of Physical Therapy from MGH Institute of Health Professions, Boston, MA. She is also a RESNA Certified Assistive Technology Practitioner (ATP). For over 30 years she has worked with adults and pediatrics with complex neurological conditions in home, school, in-patient and outpatient acute rehab settings. She has used DME to augment her treatment, enabling patients to have the support and positioning they need for participation in meaningful activities and improve/maintain musculoskeletal function.

“Your daughter needs hip surgery.” No mother wants to hear that, but that is what the orthopedist told Caroline. Her beautiful daughter Briella would need surgery for bilateral hip dysplasia (displacement) if her hips continued to migrate (become more uncovered by the acetabulum). Caroline was not ready to accept surgery as the only possible treatment and went about finding other options for Briella. Thanks to her perseverance, ultimately a standing program prevents surgery.

Morton/Redwood Falls, Minn. – Altimate Medical Holdings, Inc., announced this week that Altimate Medical Inc., received ISO 13485:2016 certification for Medical Device and Quality Management Systems (QMS).  ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized set of quality management system requirements for medical devices.  To be certified, a company must demonstrate the ability to provide products that consistently meets customer and regulatory requirements.  Companies which are ISO 13485 certified are audited annually and must recertify every 3 years.  Many countries require certification to ISO 13485 to sell medical devices in their country.    

The audit to recertify Altimate’s QMS and expand its scope to include the functions of the former ActiveAid business took place in early February.  Official certification was received in this week culminating the end of the 3 ½ year project for Altimate.  “ISO 13485:2016 is the most internationally recognized quality system standard and Altimate’s certification demonstrates we comply with the laws and regulations of the medical device industry”  said Amy Curtis, Director, Quality and Regulatory for Altimate Holdings.  “It took effort and dedication from each team within the company to make this happen and involves nearly every aspect of the business:  management, resources, design, manufacturing, assembly, customer service, procurement, and more.”

“In 2018 when Altimate Medical purchased Activeaid, one of the goals it set for the newly acquired company was to become certified to the ISO 13485 standard for Medical Devices.”

It’s been a good ride, it’s hard to imagine that many years (47) have gone by. It really is. And you don’t think it’s possible. When you’re 18 years old you would never know that you would make a career out of it.

Randall “Randy” Brau has been making ActiveAid products since he graduated high school in June of 1973, 47 years, making him the longest-tenured employee of not only ActiveAid but of all Altimate Medical. Randy has been around to see many changes in the products, people and places that make ActiveAid. Still, his commitment to his family has turned into a commitment to his company and a big reason why he has stayed. When talking about the past and his career at ActiveAid, Randy exudes a sense of humility and pride for the products he has been able to help create at ActiveAid and the people those products have assisted.

For the first many, many years… it was the people you worked with that kept you going ya know.

Altimate Medical Donates EasyStand Stander to Carris Health – Redwood

Redwood Falls, Minn. – Altimate Medical is proud to partner with Carris Health Foundation – Redwood to provide local patients with mobility issues high quality care close to home by donating an EasyStand Evolv standing frame to the Rehab Department.

“The EasyStand standing frame facilitates my patient’s ability to increase bearing weight through their legs, which helps – in turn – with their overall bone and joint health while maximizing the use of their legs for daily activities,” explained Ryan Pope, DPT, Carris Health – Redwood Physical Therapist.

Standing frames, and specifically EasyStand, provide a comfortable and safe way for patients with limited mobility to go from a seated to standing position. This provides a variety of health benefits including improving independence, bone density, circulation, range of motion, strengthening cardiovascular system, and more.

Pope also explained that the standing frame helped decrease the symptoms of pain in one of his patients who has no choice in being primarily sitting.  

“The progressive standing we get through the EasyStand offers so many overall health benefits that tend to go unnoticed until they’re absent, including cardiovascular health in individuals who are otherwise unable to engage in meaningful exercises due to loss of limb function or tolerance of certain movements,” said Pope.

Altimate Medical’s donation of the EasyStand Evolv and optional features has value of $6850. This new unit will replace a previous EasyStand model in the rehab department, providing the latest technology to the local community.

“We take great pride in knowing the products we design and build improve the quality of life for those who need them,” said Paul F. Hickey, CEO of Altimate Medical.  “As a local manufacturer, it’s so rewarding to see our products benefit the lives of this community where many of our employees call home. This is one of many reasons Altimate Medical is compelled to continue giving and engaging our communities.”
