Cardiff-based Ultrawave, the UK's largest independently-owned manufacturer of precision ultrasonic cleaning equipment, has achieved ISO13485 accreditation.
 ISO13485 defines quality management systems for manufacturers of medical devices.
"We have always been a quality focused company, but this new level of certification gives existing and potential customers the reassurance they need that all our systems fulfill the most stringent requirements, and that they can expect consistently high calibre manufacturing processes," explained Ultrawave managing director John Melville.
With the phasing out of harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning has gained in popularity, and a significant proportion of Ultrawave's output goes into the healthcare sector. Cleaning surgical and dental instruments prior to sterilisation is a typical application, and the NHS is a major end user.
Other areas where Ultrawave is active include the aerospace, automotive, food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Ultrawave's client portfolio includes a number of blue-chip companies, such as Williams Formula One, Rolls-Royce, Royal Mint and BA.
Formed in 1990, Ultrawave employs 27 people, and operates from a 16,000 sq ft facility on Eastgate Business Park in Cardiff.
