WHY IS LEAK TESTING IMPORTANT FOR MEDICAL DEVICES?

Medical products and components frequently require high-sensitivity leak testing and medical device manufacturers are continuously seeking more efficient methods.

Methods of leak detection used by medical device manufacturers are evolving to meet increasingly stringent quality standards. Testing for leak integrity is critical in the device industry because product failure presents significant hazards to patients and healthcare professionals and liabilities for manufacturers.

Medical devices often involve barriers between fluids or gases. These barriers must function effectively to protect the patient and, quite often, the medical device itself. Some devices serve as pathways that deliver or extract fluids to or from a precise location in the body. If a leak exists along the pathway, fluids could be accidentally delivered to the wrong locations, or the wrong fluids could be extracted, inciting dangerous consequences.

Injecting Devices

Leak testing using gas tracers ensures the integrity of medical injecting devices by detecting microscopic leaks, crucial for patient safety and accurate medication delivery.

Cardiovascular Devices

Leak testing with gas tracers is vital for cardiovascular devices, ensuring quality and reliable for critical heart-related applications, enhancing patient safety and treatment efficacy.

Endoscopic Devices

Gas tracer leak testing for endoscopic devices ensures airtightness and reliability, crucial for safe and effective diagnostic during very important medical procedures.

Respiratory Devices

Gas tracer leak testing on respiratory devices guarantees seal integrity and performance, vital for patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness. Contact us to learn more.

Medical Packaging

For medical packaging, leak testing is crucial to verify the seals’ tightness, essential in preserving sterility and ensuring the safety of medical products.
