Our expertise in medical device compliance
EMC and radio testing
- Measurement of radiated and conducted emissions in accordance with the requirements of standard EN 60601-1-2
- Assessment of electromagnetic immunity in representative environments
- Radio testing (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID) in line with the requirements of the RED Directive (2014/53/EU), in addition to CE marking under the MDR/IVDR
- Carrying out test campaigns in hospital environments (coexisting equipment, interference, electromagnetic disturbance, etc.)
Electrical safety tests
- Assessment in accordance with EN 60601-1 (DM) and EN 61010 (DM DIV)
- Tests on power sources, patient and operator protections
- Measurement of leakage currents, insulation, earth continuity and protective devices
- Voluntary application of the principles of the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), where relevant for multi-regulated products
Climatic, mechanical and reliability tests
We test the robustness and reliability of your devices under extreme or realistic
extreme or realistic environmental conditions:
- Mechanical testing: vibration, shock, dropping, fatigue, etc
- Climatic testing: humidity, extreme temperatures, thermal cycles, etc
- HALT / HASS methods for early failure detection
- Simulation of conditions of transport, storage and critical use, with a view to qualifying the product throughout its life cycle
CE marking, MDR / IVDR compliance and additional directives
- Compilation and review of regulatory technical documentation (MDR 2017/745 or IVDR 2017/746)
- Application of harmonised and specific standards.
- Risk analysis and review of safety and performance requirements
- Assistance in identifying the requirements applicable to combined devices (MD + radio, MD + software, etc.)
- Conformity testing for RED and EMC directives, if applicable
- Preparation for assessment by a notified body, if necessary
International certification - CB Scheme / CB certificates
- Co-ordination of test campaigns in accordance with international standards (e.g. IEC 60601, IEC 61010, etc.)
- Preparation of files for the issue of CB certificates
- Optimisation of access to more than 50 countries that are members of the CB scheme
- Harmonisation of technical requirements to limit duplication of testing between regions
Training
