Profile: Northgate Technologies, Inc. (NORTECH) designs, develops, manufactures and markets software controlled medical devices, related specialty products & associated consumable products in the fields of urology, general surgery, gynecology & arthroscopy. Our product line comprises of insufflation systems, tubing sets, fluid management and stone management. Our Hydrotower™ system serves as an alternative to a gravity driven system or to a pump (which infuses fluids directly into the patient). It offers constant pressure & flow rates once the system is set-up for the procedure, and reduces the risk of running out of fluid during a procedure since the source bags continuously fill the tower bag. It also eliminates the need to call on operating room staff to raise or lower the fluid bags when more pressure or flow is needed. Our Autolith® lithotripter is indicated for urinary and biliary stone treatment.

The company was founded in 1972, has revenues of USD 1-5 Million, has ~40 employees and is ISO 13485, CE certified.

FDA Registration Number: 1450997

• Direct Patient Interface Nebulizer (FDA Code: CAF / 868.5630)

A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

• Electrohydraulic Lithotriptor (FDA Code: FFK / 876.4480)

An electrohydraulic lithotriptor is an AC-powered device used to fragment urinary bladder stones. It consists of a high voltage source connected by a cable to a bipolar electrode that is introduced into the urinary bladder through a cystoscope. The electrode is held against the stone in a water-filled bladder and repeated electrical discharges between the two poles of the electrode cause electrohydraulic shock waves which disintegrate the stone.

• Endoscope Accessories (FDA Code: KOG)

• Fluid Management Systems

• Gastro-Urology Evacuator (FDA Code: KQT / 876.4370)

A gastroenterology-urology evacuator is a device used to remove debris and fluids during gastroenterological and urological procedures by drainage, aspiration, or irrigation. This generic type of device includes the fluid evacuator system, manually powered bladder evacuator, and the AC-powered vacuum pump.

• General & Plastic Surgery Laparoscope (FDA Code: GCJ / 876.1500)

An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals.
