Design and safety testing of electrical and electronic medical devices
Before we can categorize new devices as ‘safe’ for use in a medical working environment and brought to market, it is necessary to determine if a device can perform safely and effectively without causing harm and/or electromagnetic disturbances in its appropriate operating environment.
Support in the early stages of the product development lifecycle
²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s Engaged Experts can help you with determining which standards apply to your device, assess your design specifications for conformity, and introduce an efficient risks management program right from the beginning of the project. We also offer additional support and guidance to start–up companies during their first stages of medical device development and design, ensuring barriers to entry are addressed as early as possible and a solid regulatory and go-to-market strategy is developed.
Risk assessment and file management
We offer impartial third-party support in all aspects of product development, from design consultation, full product safety testing, and completion of a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), to Technical File compilation and review. With world-class expertise in electrical and electronic medical device testing, our specialists provide you with consultative guidance and feedback throughout the whole product development process so you can be confident in placing your product on the market.
Achieving compliance with ISO 14971
The application of risk management to medical devices is a mandatory requirement when demonstrating compliance with the IEC 60601 series of standards. Without this documentation, compliance is not possible; we can assist you with this and provide support and guidance on ISO 14971 risk management, including:
- Bespoke and one-to-one training
- Documentation and procedure review
- Production of essential documentation
- Gap Analysis, remediation & mitigation
CE Marking of electrical medical devices
²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s experts provide you with guidance through every step of the CE Marking process for medical devices, ensuring successful and efficient product launches.
CB Scheme certification & CE Marking for IEC 60601
IECEE CB certification addresses most CE Marking requirements for medical and electronic equipment safety in Europe, and means that you only have to test your product once at a single location.
With over 20 years of experience, ²ÝÁñÉçÇø is a leading provider of IECEE CB certificates covering a wide range of certification, including the IEC 60601 series for medical equipment. We are a National Certificate Body (NCB) and can provide internationally recognized certificates based on testing from our associated CB Scheme testing laboratories (CBTL) in the UK, the US, Germany, and China.
Global approvals for global market access
Our Global Market Access (GMA) experts understand the challenge of safety testing of medical products for international export and assist manufacturers with 3rd party testing, in-county representation, product translation, and more to achieve increased speed to market for successful product launches.
