Testing of Active Medical Devices

Put your active medical devices to the test

A majority of active medical devices use electricity as their source of energy. Consequently, the inclusion of hardware elements, software aspects and mechanical issues within the medical device entail broader testing and regulatory requirements.

TÜV SÜD is your single source testing house for your active medical devices. We offer a broad range of testing services including Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, electrical safety testing and environmental testing. These can be combined with specialised testing services such as software security testing and usability evaluations under real life test conditions. We also have an accredited Ultrasound Lab and a special lab for Rehabilitation Devices.

The varied complexities of active medical devices also highlight the importance of functional safety and software life cycle testing (IEC 62304). Our functional safety experts can conduct tests to identify potential hazards from electrical, mechanical or design faults that may occur during device usage.

We understand that time to market is a key consideration when choosing a testing house. TÜV SÜD offers expedited testing programs. Please contact us to inquire about availability of our expedited testing programs.
