BIOMEDICAL

The range of biomedical applications spans a vast array of therapeutic areas, bringing with it an extremely broad range of testing requirements. Various fixturing arrangements must be added to a universal testing system to properly hold or manipulate the test specimens and attain the necessary results. In many cases, international standards such as ISO or ASTM drive the ultimate design of these fixtures. Our experience within the industry has helped create a catalog of grips and fixtures to accommodate the most common devices and meet the most frequently used standards. Solutions include specialized fixturing for medical components, environmental chambers and baths, and options for automation. In addition, we offer software and service packages to help navigate the regulatory hurdles within the industry. The Traceability module of Bluehill® Universal is designed to help customers meet the complex requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 for data integrity, and IQ/OQ packages can minimize the time and effort required to validate new systems and software.

It is important to note that in many cases, novel devices are being tested with unique requirements that require an equally unique solution. Our engineered solutions group [ESG} is available to meet your specific needs for anything not outlined within this catalog.
