Meeting and Exceeding High Standards for your Peace of Mind.
The testing requirements accepted by the FDA have been developed by the American National Standards Institute/Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology Society of North America (ANSI/RESNA). Our tests are conducted in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI/RESNA Test Standards and complement an additional strict testing regiment developed by Pride's Research & Development Team. All products have passed, and in many cases, exceeded test criteria set forth, assuring the high level of quality that Pride is known for. All products have passed, and in many cases, exceeded test criteria set forth, assuring the high level of quality synonymous with Pride.
