Microbiological Tests for Various Electrical and Electronic Medical Devices

In the production of medical devices, many testing and analysis processes are required to control whether the products are produced in accordance with the standards and to determine whether they are produced in accordance with the demands of the market. The most important of these processes is microbiological tests. Microorganisms can be disease-causing or even lethal to humans. For this reason, it is unacceptable to enter the human body, especially with medical devices.

Microbiological tests in medical device products are carried out on the same standard methods as in electrical and electronic underground cabling products, HVAC/R equipment, lighting, food service equipment.

• ASTM G 21 and Mil Std 810F Fungal Exposure Test
• ANSI/NSF 52 Bacterial, Fungal and Mold Resistance Test
• ASTM D 3273 Mold Exposure Assessments
• ASTM D 6329 Microbial Growth Assessments

Sterilization processes of Electrical and Electronic Medical Devices should be tested and the results should be evaluated to prove the reliability and adequacy.
