Chemical Compatibility Testing for Medical Devices, Materials, and Surfaces
Protect your medical devices against increasingly corrosive disinfectants with automated chemical compatibility testing. Our advanced testing solutions deliver faster, more reliable results while providing hands-on technical partnership. Get comprehensive validation of your entire product's chemical resistance through continuous automated testing that accelerates time to market.
What is Chemical Compatibility Testing for Medical Devices at Element?
Chemical compatibility testing evaluates how medical devices and materials react when exposed to disinfectants and cleaning agents over time. At Element, we provide automated testing services that simulate real-world hospital cleaning procedures to validate the long-term durability of your medical devices and materials against chemical exposure.
What Can Element Offer You For Chemical Compatibility Testing for Medical Devices?
Key tests offered
Key tests offered
Element provides comprehensive testing for complete medical devices and their materials. Our testing evaluates full products to verify that all materials and surface geometries remain resistant when exposed to cleaning agents. Each product must undergo compatibility testing against each chemical involved in its disinfecting process to validate long-term compatibility.
We can combine our offering of testing services to simulate the conditions your product will face in its expected environment, including:
- Automated chemical compatibility testing
- Chemical resistance testing,
- Accelerated aging (shelf-life studies)
- Dynamic testing (vibration, shock, drop, impact),
- Environmental resistance (QUV, Xenon, salt spray)
Methods and solutions offered
Methods and solutions offered
Our automated systems apply and remove chemicals precisely according to your product's specific cleaning procedures. Testing runs continuously without breaks, significantly reducing overall test time compared to manual methods. Water rinses and drying cycles are conducted automatically based on your requirements.
Our custom product testing approach ensures that your specific product requirements are addressed through tailored testing protocols.
We run multiple test setups simultaneously to increase efficiency. Chemicals are automatically applied and removed, and drying, water rinses, and other requirements are conducted according to the product's unique cleaning procedure. Because the chemicals are not applied by hand, this method can run continuously (without breaks) which significantly cuts down test time.
Element also provides failure analysis services to identify the root cause of any failure and delivers results to identify solutions and avoid future in-service failures.
