Biocompatibility Evaluation of Breathing Gas Pathway Devices according to ISO 18562-2 and ISO 18562-3
ISO 18562-2 and ISO 18562-3
To ensure the safety of medical devices that are in in-direct contact with the breathing pathway of patients, we offer tests that show if contaminants that can reach the patient are emitted from the device.
The contaminants can be particulate matter (particles), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) or condensate that forms into droplets that can reach the patient.
Emmace offers the following ISO 17025 accredited test services:
ISO 18562-2, Determination of particulate matter (PM) emitted from your medical device (0.2 µm -10 µm).
ISO 18562-3, Identification and quantification of emitted Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs.
In addition we offer expert interpretation of inhalation toxicological data relevant to breathing gas pathways for your device per ISO 10993-17 and ISO/TS 21726:2019.
A verified and unique method, based on the accredited set-up above, for collecting and quantifying the amounts of isocyanates released from medical devices is also provided as an analytical service.
