CONCORD, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Pulse Systems announced today that
the company has attained dual certification under the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) quality systems standards, ISO
13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2008.

“Achievement of these highly-regarded quality certifications reinforces
our commitment to providing world-class contract manufacturing services to the
medical device industry, and communicates the significant progress we have
made toward that goal,” said Herb Bellucci, President and CEO of Pulse
Systems, commenting on the importance of the announcement to the company’s
business strategy.

“Customers can now take advantage of our superior capabilities in laser
cutting and other precision fabrication services with the confidence of
knowing our manufacturing processes comply with the demanding requirements of
both ISO 13485 and the newest version of ISO 9001,” added Henry Maze, Quality
Manager at Pulse Systems, who led the certification program for the company.

The ISO 13485:2003 standard is specifically designed to certify medical
device manufacturers and their key suppliers. This standard defines
requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to
demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that
consistently meet customer specifications and regulatory requirements.

ISO 9001:2008 is the most recent update of the widely-recognized ISO 9001
standard. While not specific to medical device manufacturing, ISO 9001 is
intended to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of
a quality management system, including processes for continual improvement of
the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements. Pulse Systems had previously earned ISO
9001:2000 certification in January 2006.
