LEAK AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING FOR MEDICAL DEVICES

ENSURING SAFE MEDICAL DEVICES

Ensuring the highest quality and reliability in medical devices is critical because it directly impacts human lives. We contribute to this objective with advanced leak testing products, including endoscope leak testers and leak testing solutions for medical single-use systems, which play a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of medical devices and medical equipment.

Leak testing with a passion for cutting-edge technology: ZELTWANGER develops advanced testing solutions using air and trace gases at any level of automation.

Examples of applications

Leak Testing of MEDICAL SINGLE-USE SYSTEMS

In medical technology, a wide range of single-use systems is utilized, including dialyzers, catheters, tubing systems, secretion containers, PCR plates, syringes, and pipettes. Ensuring high leak tightness is essential for maintaining hygiene and safety standards.

For small-volume test specimens, which often consist of elastic materials such as silicone, the relative pressure method is usually a functional solution.

ENDOSCOPE LEAK TESTING

A typical application of our advanced test devices for medical technology products are endoscopes. To ensure the high standards of hygiene and functionality of these systems, functional and leak testing is essential. For this purpose, the flow or backpressure method is used to check if the channels are clear.

The relative pressure method is often employed for endoscope leak testing.

Mixing components for anesthesia machines

LEAK TESTING OF MEDICAL DEVICE COMPONENTS

In medical technology, there is a multitude of device components where leak testing and functional testing are crucial, due to cost and safety factors. One example is mixing components for anesthesia machines, which must be reliably tight. The often complex design requires engineered solutions for proper sealing, as well as an understanding of air flow. In both areas, we have the knowledge and expertise to provide the ideal tool for the job.
