Conformity to Harmonized Standards Testing (EU MDR/IVDR)
The EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) are comprehensive frameworks designed to ensure the safety, quality, and performance of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic products. Conformity assessment to these standards is a critical step for manufacturers seeking market access within the European Union. Our laboratory provides specialized testing services aimed at ensuring compliance with the harmonized standards specified by the EU MDR/IVDR.
The process of achieving conformity typically begins with an initial evaluation of the product, followed by technical documentation review and finally, comprehensive testing to validate that the device meets all necessary safety and performance requirements. Our team is well-versed in these regulations and can guide you through each step of this process, ensuring your products meet regulatory expectations.
Testing services under EU MDR/IVDR encompass a wide range of technical assessments including:
- Evaluation of the risk classification
- Review of the technical documentation
- Conduction of clinical evaluations and trials
- Performance testing of biocompatibility, electrical safety, mechanical strength, etc.
- Validation of labeling and instructions for use
We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to perform these tests. Our laboratories are equipped with facilities that can simulate real-world conditions under which medical devices will be used, ensuring accurate assessments. This includes advanced analytical instruments capable of detecting even the smallest deviations from standard requirements.
Our expert staff has extensive experience in this field and stays up-to-date on any changes or updates to the regulations. By choosing our service, you ensure that your product not only meets current standards but also prepares it for future regulatory requirements.
| Test Parameters | Testing Equipment | Scope of Testing |
|---|---|---|
| Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993) | Cell culture systems, animal models | Evaluation of potential biological effects on humans |
| Clinical performance testing | Simulated patient environments | Assessment of device efficacy in treating or diagnosing conditions |
| Electrical safety testing (IEC 60601) | Multiparameter measuring devices | Evaluation of electrical hazards in medical devices |
| Material compatibility testing (ASTM F2487-13) | Material analysis tools | Determining the suitability of materials for use in medical devices |
In addition to technical capabilities, our team provides detailed reports and certificates that document all testing activities. These documents are essential for demonstrating compliance with EU MDR/IVDR and can significantly streamline the approval process.
