UL Solutions today launched new medical device testing services at its lab in Rochester Hills, Michigan. With the new offerings and capabilities, UL will support Michigan's growing medical device industry and help manufacturers advance the safety, security, usability and interoperability of products that play a crucial role in healthcare.
The rapid advancement of medical device technology has brought many benefits to patient care. To maintain this pace of innovation and protect medical device users, manufacturers must balance speed and potential risks, including quality, safety and cybersecurity issues. UL now has the capabilities in Michigan to provide medical device manufacturers with third-party verification and validation, auditing, cybersecurity services, usability testing and compliance training to help take on these challenges.
UL's Rochester Hills lab can test to various methods and specifications provided by medical device manufacturers, with services such as accelerated lifespan and environmental testing.
The facility features extensive capabilities to quickly reconfigure testing based on a manufacturer's needs and processes that minimize contaminants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in the environment to support testing accuracy.
