What is the goal of medical product testing?
The primary objectives of tests for the medical sector are patient safety, quality assurance, product safety and compliance with the requirements of the MDR (Medical Device Regulation - EU Medical Device Regulation) and thus its marketability. According to international regulations, the packaging of your sterile and non-sterile medical product should protect your product from damage, contamination and possible loss of sterility.
By selecting suitable standards for packaging tests and medical product tests, you can identify potential weaknesses preventively or analyze them afterwards. Medical product tests are important to ensure the reliability and safety of for patients and users and that there are no risks. The tests support the design and development of medical products and their packaging. The tests are essential for approval, such as CE marking.
