Custom solutions for medical device leak testing equipment.

Methods of leak detection used by medical device manufacturers are evolving to meet increasingly stringent quality standards. Testing for leak integrity is critical in the device industry because product failure presents significant hazards to patients and healthcare professionals and liabilities for manufacturers.

Medical devices often involve barriers between fluids or gases. These barriers must function effectively to protect the patient and, quite often, the medical device itself. Some devices serve as pathways that deliver or extract fluids to or from a precise location in the body. If a leak exists along the pathway, fluids could be accidentally delivered to the wrong locations, or the wrong fluids could be extracted, inciting dangerous consequences.
