Medical Equipment Testing

Today’s medical equipment is more portable and found in more locations than ever before, such as in emergency vehicles, aircraft and transported by hand. Therefore, medical equipment must go through the same test regimen as any other product for performance and reliability. Tests include: temperature, humidity, vibration, shock, thermal cycling, ISTA package testing and more. At Environment Associates, we offer the utmost care in providing the right tests and resources for your medical devices. With the range of equipment available, we can test from the smallest implantable device to large diagnostic systems. If needed, we can provide various sizes of anthropomorphic test devices (crash dummies) to simulate actual human body positioning and weight for large medical device testing, such as gurneys, boards, straps, that must be tested under real load conditions.

We can supply the appropriate input voltages to support any performance tests, for any use, from commercial to military. EA can provide fixturing, data acquisition and program management for any large test projects.

Some medical manufacturers may require long-term, multiple-year environmental conditioning to ensure that their product performs throughout its expected life. EA has the equipment and the expertise and is currently running extended-life profiles to ensure the integrity of products required to meet health and safety standards.
