Ultra Clean Systems Receives Validation from Intuitive Surgical

Ultra Clean Systems, Inc. has received special validation from Intuitive Surgical, the manufacturer of da Vinci® robotic surgical systems, for their Triton-36 Instrument Cleaning System. This approval reflects the unit's ability to perform at the highest standards in cleanliness currently in place for the sterile processing industry. Few companies have received this special validation for reprocessing robotic surgical instruments for re-use.

Ultra Clean Systems both engineers and manufactures its systems which has high throughput specs for processing surgical instruments in 15 minutes which distinguishes the company as an industry leader. The combination of its ability to clean up to two complete sets of the newer generation (Xi) robotic instruments in just 15 minutes puts the Triton 36 in a class unto itself.

In addition to receiving the validation from Intuitive Surgical, Ultra Clean Systems has also been awarded both ISO 13485 for medical devices and ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems (QMS).

When asked about the achievement of these certifications, vice president of sales and marketing Keith Cale says, "When it comes to cleanliness standards and turnaround times, at Ultra Clean we know these are more than just buzz words, they are a matter of true patient safety.  With this in mind we hold ourselves to a higher standard when it comes to creating products that consistently perform above industry requirements. Achieving these certifications is a strong validation of the practices we continue to build our company on."
