Electrochem Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Greatbatch, Inc. (NYSE:GB), completed its ISO 13485:2003 registration audit, conducted by the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI), and received recommendation for certification.

"We are thrilled to have earned this recognition because of the hard work and dedication our associates have shown to make Electrochem a world-class organization. This certification proves our commitment to quality for portable medical devices, of which we provide enabling power," said Kevin Christopher, Director of Quality, Electrochem.
