Best practice for Device Testing with Michael Wetherington
When you are trying to develop a Medical Device, there is a stage that you cannot avoid which is testing your products. For that, I have invited Michael Wetherington from MedicalRegs.com who will help us understand how to prepare for it. We will also help you understand the way you need to follow to choose your Laboratory.
Tests should be done in a lab but also internally. You should test as much as possible to see if you are in the right direction. We will talk a lot about IEC 60601 as an example but other tests can be mentioned.
Michael will also provide information regarding accredited laboratories. This is not really a guarantee of quality and you should be monitoring them. The labs are providing you with a service so don’t just rely on them to perform the right tests as you know the products better than them.
