Integrating Sciences: The Complex Engineering Feats Behind Acertara’s Manufacturing Services
In the dynamic field of medical imaging technology, Acertara is proud to be a beacon of innovation and excellence. Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach that merges physics, engineering, and medical expertise, we’ve helped to revolutionize ultrasound technology. We constantly strive to be the pinnacle of technological advancement in ultrasound diagnostics, and our commitment to excellence has resulted in some incredible achievements over the years. Here’s a look at some of the accomplishments we owe to a steadfast belief in integrated sciences.
Multidisciplinary excellence: physics, engineering, and medicine
Since our founding in 1996, we’ve made substantial contributions to the development of ultrasound systems, working closely with our partners to create and commercialize more than 10 advanced systems. These include cutting-edge probes — one with the first-ever integrated gyroscopic accelerometer and another with an ultrasound front end integrated into a silicon chip — that exemplify our commitment to innovative designs and practical applications: a fusion of form, fit, and function.
Our pioneering work extends to intraluminal ultrasound-tipped catheters for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and our achievement of gaining FDA 510(k) clearance for the first-ever after-market electronic array probe. By weaving together diverse disciplines — physics, engineering, and medicine — we at Acertara have established ourselves as vanguards, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in ultrasound technology. We don’t wait to see what’s next: We imagine and create it.
State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques
State-of-the-art manufacturing techniquesInnovation is possible only with strong fundamentals. For Acertara, that means state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, technologies, and talent. Specifically, we’re focused on precision low-volume manufacturing, tailored to meet the specific needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This bespoke manufacturing approach allows for the creation of highly specialized ultrasound devices, demonstrating an ability to adapt and innovate in a field that demands both precision and customization.
But this doesn’t mean we’re limited. In fact, our expansive service range — from digital and analog design to algorithm and custom transducer development — speaks to our versatility and technical proficiency. Our intellectual property portfolio showcases over 40 U.S. patents in ultrasound device engineering: a testament to our pioneering spirit and leadership in technological advancements. We aim to enhance the quality of ultrasound devices while propelling the industry forward and setting new standards for excellence and innovation.
Quality and precision in engineering, accuracy and reliability in diagnostics
Quality and precision in engineering, accuracy and reliability in diagnosticsWe’re producing devices that have the potential to define the trajectory of patient care — from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. Acertara’s commitment to quality and precision in engineering underpins our reputation for producing highly accurate, supremely reliable diagnostic equipment. This commitment transcends every aspect of our engineering process, from the meticulous design of ultrasound probes to the stringent testing procedures ensuring their efficacy.
Equally important is our role in ensuring the accuracy of diagnostic tools. Our involvement in over 1,200 FDA 510(k) and CE submissions highlights a clear and ever-present focus on patient safety. By providing essential data and compliance services, we aid manufacturers in navigating complex regulatory environments, ensuring ultrasound devices meet the highest standards for reliability.
Industry-leading manufacturing solutions
At Acertara, we’ve cemented our position as a leader in ultrasound technology, but we’re ever striving to distinguish ourselves as a driver of healthcare innovation. With our inclusion in the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies and our prestigious FDA ASCA accreditation, we aim to exemplify how dedication to quality and innovation can profoundly impact medical diagnostics. And we know how we’ll continue striding toward progress: integrated sciences — where physics, engineering, and medicine converge to redefine patient care.
