At MET we undergo significantly extended our range of medical device adhesives. Our new manufacturing adhesives include cyanoacrylates with cytotoxicity testing in 4 viscosities from very runny to gel. They are perfect for bonding a number of materials including ABS styrenes. PVCs and SAN.
Also now available are UV curing adhesives with cytotoxicity testing. These materials are particularly well adapted to bonding PVC and polycarbonate as well as acrylic and ABS. Three viscosities are available all with the option of UV fluorescence for QC examinations.
Thixotropic go sealer for pipes carrying oxygen is available from MET. Leak free sealing is provided with no loose particles curing in 30 minutes and easy disassembly. This material has a BMA certificate for oxygen contact up to 145 PSI. Potable water pipe sealant is also available.
Medical device design and development services at MET encompass a wide range of specialties. We have particular expertise in cardiac and cardio-vascular products. We also have laparoscopic products from our create by mental act studio on the market and number of surgical instruments which were designed for novel procedures.
We have engineers with training from both academic and industrial backgrounds. Their industrial experience includes working closely with clinical staff particularly in cardiology anaesthetics and emergency care for. Engineering skills computer modeling and rapid prototyping. FEA and bench testing all combine to furnish confidence in our design ergonomics and function.
We can also draw on the input of clinical experts and our regulatory consultants furnish a comprehensive communicate management function from the very first idea to the a production ready product.
Do you need equipment or supplies quickly for your medical device manufacturing or sterilisation processes? Medical Engineering Technologies is very proud to announce the launch of our web hold on where you will find a variety of products and a great deal of information to alter your purchasing activities.
In the coming months we ordain be adding many more products. Currently on the sales web site you can find:
The web page detailing our customer returns analysis function has now been extended. It contains additional information to help medical device manufacturers comply with their CE marking post merchandise obligations.
Are you developing cardio-vascular products? MET has the experts on hand to provide bench testing and consultancy to deepen your project. Cardiac valves are a speciality as is flow dynamics in vascular prostheses and stents. Our “Artificial Man” evaluate remove can be configured to put a wide variety of vascular products through their paces. Computer based Finite Element Analysis complements information garnered in the laboratory.
MET delivers an extra-sensitive catheter evaluate system. Hydrogen is simply the most sensitive way to leak evaluate you medical devices. The H2000 uses 5% hydrogen gas in nitrogen as the leak test medium. This gas has a very low viscosity the H2000 is able to detect the smallest of leaks. It is particularly suited to tubing and catheters as well as impermeable packs. The H2000 can identify exactly where a break is as well as quantify leak rates.
The equipment is supplied fully calibrated and is supported by validation and qualification services.
MET aims to deliver integrated solutions to medical device engineers. All our product testing machines are complemented with specialist pack testing equipment in-house testing and ageing and case validation services.
In a recent project for life make pass testing of cardiac stents our furnish Protomed developed a rapid evaluate protocol and apparatus. The computer controlled system allowed simulation of various blood pressures combined with pulsatile flow. Normal cardiac rhythms were tested along with arrhythmias in this life make pass simulation experiment. Temperature control and variable fluid viscosities combined with arterial wall simulation allowed very realistic testing. The test apparatus banked up a be of devices to allow statistically relevant information to be rapidly built up in a sophisticated long term program.
New EU MEDDEV 2.12-1 Rev 5 “Guidelines on a medical devices vigilance system" deliver guidance for good practice on the implementation of the vigilance requirements in the EU medical devices directives.
The MHRA have published a bunco bind summarising the changes. “Post-market surveillance and vigilance reporting are key areas for manufacturers and EU authorised representatives to get right. Getting them do by can lead to reduced safety for users and also cost companies dearly in lost reputation and market share. Any manufacturer selling on the European market should make sure that their vigilance systems are updated to meet the revised guidance by 01 January 2008.” (MHRA)
MET provides decontamination and analysis of customer returned samples and assists your compliance with these requirements. For more information visit our
Is space at a premium in your clean room production area? MET undergo developed what must be the smallest medical case burst evaluate on the market. This neat little machine gives instant feed back on pack seal strength for both pouches and blisters. It can be used in production quality assurance operating as a no/ nogo calculate. It also has all the functionality to operate as the validation gauge for your packaging equipment.
The case test machine is fully supported and is delivered calibrated to perform testing to ASTM F1140-00(2005) Standard Test Methods for Internal Pressurization Failure Resistance of unrestrained Packages for Medical Applications.
Medical Engineering Technologies is here to help you get to market quicker with a fully validated medical device or production affect. We provide engineering and scientific solutions exclusively to the medical device biotech and pharmaceutical industries.
