Labeling Verification Testing for Infusion Pumps (ISO 18113)
Infusion pumps and drug delivery systems are critical medical devices that require stringent quality assurance to ensure patient safety. Labeling verification testing, as per ISO 18113, plays a crucial role in validating the accuracy and integrity of the labeling on these devices. This standard ensures that all information provided on the device's label is accurate, clear, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
The primary purpose of this test is to verify that the labeling meets the specified standards, including readability, legibility, and compliance with international regulations such as ISO 18113:2017. Compliance with these standards ensures that healthcare providers have reliable information about the device's intended use, warnings, precautions, and instructions for use.
During this testing process, our team carefully inspects every label to ensure it adheres to the specified requirements. This includes checking for correct font size, color contrast, and placement of critical information such as lot numbers, expiration dates, and safety warnings. We also verify that the labels are durable enough to withstand typical operating conditions in healthcare settings.
Our expertise in this area allows us to provide comprehensive testing services tailored specifically to your device's unique labeling needs. Whether you require compliance verification for new product launches or ongoing quality assurance checks, our team can help ensure your devices meet all regulatory requirements.
In addition to standard testing procedures, we offer customized solutions based on individual client needs. This may include additional testing protocols beyond those outlined in ISO 18113, such as accelerated aging tests or environmental stress screening. Our goal is always to provide the most accurate and reliable labeling information possible to support your device's successful market entry.
By choosing our labeling verification testing services for infusion pumps, you can rest assured that your product will meet all necessary regulatory requirements and provide clear, accurate information about its intended use.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of labeling verification testing for infusion pumps (ISO 18113) includes verifying the accuracy, clarity, and compliance of all label information provided on the device. This encompasses not only text content but also color schemes, font sizes, and placement relative to other components of the pump.
Our methodology involves several key steps:
- Reviewing relevant international standards such as ISO 18113:2017
- Inspecting each label for adherence to specified requirements
- Testing durability and legibility under various environmental conditions
- Providing detailed reports documenting any discrepancies or non-compliance issues
We use advanced optical inspection equipment capable of identifying even subtle deviations from standard guidelines. Additionally, our team has extensive experience working with infusion pump manufacturers to understand their specific labeling requirements and ensure compliance.
The testing process is designed to be thorough yet efficient, ensuring that your product meets all necessary regulatory standards while minimizing disruptions to production schedules.
Why Choose This Test
Choosing labeling verification testing for infusion pumps offers numerous benefits beyond mere compliance with international standards. One of the most significant advantages is improved patient safety. Accurate and legible labels ensure that healthcare providers can quickly access important information about a device's intended use, warnings, and precautions.
Another key benefit is enhanced reputation among clients and stakeholders. Compliance with stringent labeling requirements demonstrates your commitment to quality and patient care, which can significantly bolster trust in your brand.
Furthermore, this testing process helps identify potential issues early in the development cycle, allowing for corrective actions before they become costly or damaging problems later on. This proactive approach saves time and resources while ensuring long-term success of your product.
Lastly, labeling verification testing provides peace of mind knowing that every aspect of your device's label meets rigorous standards set forth by recognized authorities like ISO 18113. This can reduce legal risks associated with non-compliance and ensure smooth interaction between regulatory bodies and your organization.
