Ada's Class II medical device status provides additional assurances for health organizations in Brazil that apply strict standards to their own and their suppliers’ offerings and value proven clinical excellence. Today’s announcement is expected to further support and expedite Ada’s expansion in the South American region with the potential to improve health outcomes and experiences for millions of people.
