Testing Equipment and Services Companies
Find the suppliers you are looking for in MDL's testing equipment and services directory, which features the leading companies that specialize in providing testing solutions to medical device manufacturers.
Safety Testing System
An electrical safety analyzer enables biomedical engineers to meet the recurrent and postrepair test requirements of IEC 62353 for medical devices. The lightweight, battery-powered Rigel 288 tester is equipped with Bluetooth technology for the wireless connection of bar code scanners, label printers, and other accessories, enabling cable-free data transfer and safety labeling.
Testing Equipment
Testing data provided by radial-force gauge-testing equipment can be used for regulatory submissions, preclinical trial testing, competitive product testing, and product design. The MSI RX 550/650 testing equipment integrates a high-speed data-acquisition system to increase the repeatability and reproducibility of testing data.
Compression Test Stand
A test stand is designed for compression testing of up to 30 lb. The Model ES05 can be used for switch-contact activation testing, small-spring testing, and peel testing. A spring-loaded lever allows for repeatable testing with up to 1.5-in. displacement. The lever mechanism can be repositioned along the length of the column, allowing the stand to be used for various sample sizes. Testing Gets Physical
(PMPN)
FDA officially accepts physical integrity testing in lieu of microbial-challenge testing for whole packages.
Putting Implants to the Test
(MD&DI)
Many tools and processes are used to check implant safety and performance.
Assessing Radial Tests for Endovascular Implants
(MD&DI)
Testing for radial strength and stiffness of endovascular implants is relatively new for industry. Device makers should understand the methods and factors involved in the process.
Looking Closer at Inspection
(PMPN)
The multiple advantages of automated inspection solutions are weighed against false reject performance.
Revised Calibration and Test Methods Improve Production Throughput
(MPMN)
Retooled testing techniques enabled better quality control of an oxygen-delivery device.
The Latest in Package Testers
(PMPN)
In Vitro Biocompatibility Testing of Biomaterials and Medical Devices
(MDT)
Biomaterials used for medical devices must be thoroughly tested according to ISO 109931 before their introduction so that any negative effects on the body are known about and prevented.
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and eliminating unnecessary human exposure to man-made radiation from medical, occupational and consumer products.
European Co-operation for Accreditation
The branches of European national accreditation bodies have recently have joined to form European Accreditation (EA), which now covers all European conformity assessment activities, including testing, inspection, and certification.
