ABOUT US

Who We Are

Freeway Med-Tech is a pioneering family-owned company, that brings together 30+ years of manufacturing experience dealing with healthcare.

Med-Tech produces all our clinical carts and furniture ourselves, from cutting and punching the metal and assembling all components, to putting the final product through our own dedicated powder coating paint plant. As well as carts, we have an exceptional range of medical technology and peripherals that we strive to always keep updated and cutting edge. Our products are stocked in our 70,000-square-foot multi-building facility in Berkshire, United Kingdom.

Medical IT equipment

Each product is designed and built from the ground up by us, from concept to prototype to mass rollout. Every component has been manufactured with the needs of Healthcare and longevity in mind, meaning they are built to last. All Freeway Med-Tech carts come with a 5-year warranty, as standard, including the battery, on the powered variant. All of our medical displays and AIO (All-In-One) PCs are fully tested to the latest UL60601 standards, with options for warranty cover lasting up to five years.

As part of the Chromis Group, founded in 1989, Freeway Med-Tech has access to the collective resources, industry knowledge and supply chain, of the whole group. This allows us to leverage our purchasing power to make a compelling offering where it matters most. We’re also fortunate to own the freehold to all our premises outright, meaning we have no rent or mortgage to consider. As a result, we have modest running costs and can pass these additional savings on to our customers and partners. Our focus is , but not limited to, providing innovative healthcare technology solutions, allowing greater accessibility for hospitals and healthcare organisations alike to our products. Together with the combined purchasing power of the group, we can therefore provide exceptional supply chain routes. These economies of scale mean we can do this with some of the latest, best specification equipment available, supplying directly from component to purchase.

We deal extensively with the NHS in the UK with our products already pre-tendered on NHS Supply Chain. Internationally, we have a network of partners spanning the globe as far as Australia.

Quality

Our products are born from years of clinical design experience and end user feedback and are all manufactured to “Professional Grade Quality”

Tried, tested, Inspected and fully Certified

Freeway Med-Tech takes customer safety seriously, ensuring that all our healthcare technology products have the highest safety certification.

Our facilities and products have company-wide ISO 9001:2015 certification, demonstrating our commitment to safety and quality procedures in our facilities.

Our iWOW™ and MT700-24T / MT600-24T touch screen Medical grade displays, our MT500-24TM / MT400-24TF touch screen Medical grade AIO PC’s and our MT300-13T Medical grade tablet are fully certified to UL/EN/IEC 60601-1 standards, which regulate medical electrical equipment. This is incredibly important when assessing suitability for IT and support equipment for near-patient use, especially when in 24 hour clinical environments. This stringent certification means the Medical Healthcare power systems are certified by an Internationally Recognised Testing Laboratory (UL). This ensures our products adhere to an agreed international standard, reducing the risk of electromagnetic interference with other life-critical equipment operating in the patients' area. This also reduces radio frequency emissions and controls leakage current from the unit when connected to the same power circuits as other equipment like life support/ventilators. Importantly the Freeway Med-tech systems are also able to accept this same interference, without affecting their performance and function.

Rigorous Product Safety Testing

All of Freeway Med-tech's products undergo extensive testing that exceeds the industry's quality expectations.

Our experience in healthcare furniture, design, development and in-house manufacturing, has enabled us to exceed stability testing requirements for our carts. This has also allowed us to develop our own technology products to be lighter, thinner and possess a lower centre of gravity when compared to any other supplier's product offerings.

We strive to deliver safe and durble products that provide our customers with peace of mind. We perform individual functional testing on every product before it leaves our Berkshire Factory. Cycle-testing on a sample basis ensures product quality and reliability. The supply chain for mechanisms like the lifting-posts come from our tried and tested products such as our retinal screening range that remains in-use since 1992 .

Safety Tested

Environmentally Responsible

Freeway Med-Tech create products that help our customers and also the world we live in. Freeway Med-Tech follows earth-friendly policies and practices that reduce our environmental footprint, which increases our product lifecycle and reduces waste and unnecessary replacement.

Greener by design #1

Medical IT Trolley - Green Design

With our local supply chain, 99% of components for our iWOW™ carts are now being made in the UK, with supply routes being made in-house where possible. Under expansions in January 2022, Freeway Medical now manufacture our own soft-close drawer runners and mould our own castors, allowing for higher stock, more stringent quality control but above all reducing the carbon foot print of our products as they are not flown in from the other side of the world!

Greener by design #2

edical IT Trolley - Green Design

Our carts are upgradable… all parts are individually available and replaceable, with diagrams provided to our customers for supply of spare parts. From the ground up, our carts are designed to be easily repaired by the end user or their support staff, meaning carts can be repaired and therefore used for longer, reducing the need to buy new.

Greener by design #3

Medical IT Trolley - Green Design

Our new technology promotes upgradability over replacement… Our groundbreaking MT700-24T Medical grade 24 inch powered Displays provide virtually the same UL60601 certification features of a Medical grade all in one PC, retaining the 24/7 hot-swappable battery design, 24 inch IP65 Touch display / user interface. These features are provided by a hospital-standard Dell micro-form-factor PC, powered by a unique 19V Dc power supply from the monitor and sustained by the internal monitor batteries. This means when the performance of the computer is at end of life, the user can simply upgrade the small Dell computer, reusing the large display and power system, drastically reducing the wastage of replacing an entire Medical PC. This not only saves money, but cuts down on a huge volume of rare earth metals. It also means upgrades can be done quicker and easier if a computer fails unexpectedly, as the internal PC can be swapped in seconds with a standard Desktop Dell computer. Therefore, fewer carts need to be purchased due to downtime maintenance, again saving resources.

Environmentally Responsible & Reducing Our Footprint While Growing our brand

Our dedication to quality allows our company to reduce its environmental footprint, even while we grow, by using characteristic innovation and state of the art management practices to find efficiencies wherever possible.

ROHS Compliant Medical IT

Recycling and eWaste
Recycling & eWaste

Freeway Med-Tech strives to assist all our customers with recycling your old technology product. Despite the upgradable nature of both the carts and technology, no product lasts forever. So when the product reaches end-of-life, we are here to help. This includes responsibly disposing of lithium-ion batteries. Please note that any obsolete batteries that are returned to freeway Med-Tech must be handled according to local laws and shipping carrier guidance with safety in mind. To begin the process, please contact your freeway Med-Tech representative

Environmentally responsible delivery

Environmentally Responsible Delivery

Environmentally responsible delivery

Our dedication to reducing the waste also follows though to our delivery methods. Both the cart and the technology is assembled together here in the UK. The carts arrive fully protected, so need far less single use packaging.

This has been key to us from the beginning of our journey and something that we are passionate about. When your equipment arrives it will have only the packaging that is absolutely necessary to protect it, meaning less waste for our planet, less waste for you to dispose of, less time to unpackage it, less time to assemble it (it arrives ready to go by the way!!!) - Of course, this means less cost for our customers too as less staff are needed to deploy the carts - So less coffee cups from the hours of work they would otherwise do taking the carts out of the boxes, building them, adjusting them for the correct weights… then adding the screens and the accessories like mice, keyboards and computers...
