Medical devices are becoming more important in the health care sector. One of the major issues for companies developing and producing medical devices is to be updated on the regulatory requirements and implement them in the process.
Manufacturers of medical devices need to adjust to the regulatory framework in the country where the product is sold. This constitutes a great problem for manufacturers, especially for companies selling their products in several countries. Competent authorities worldwide have begun to realize the problem and collaborate to harmonize the regulations.

To bring your medical device to global markets with speed and efficiency, you need a testing and certification partner who knows your business. Count on G.I.T.O for auditing, Notified Body approvals, and compliance testing and certification to global standards and requirements, all from a single source.

Our global market entry program is your key to accessing the world’s fastest growing medical device markets. Learn how you can obtain multiple national safety certifications for your product and gain entry into more countries.

G.I.T.O’s Product & Materials Division assists manufacturers and engineers in a variety of industries by testing product performance and safety. Specializing in testing of medical devices such as Luer fittings, syringes, needles, catheters, guide wires, cannula and electrosurgical instruments, this DDL division tests to ASTM, IEC, ISO, JIS, EN and other accepted industry standards.

Vibration, physical shock, thermal shock, friction, flow rate, force to operate, leakage and compression testing are among the many tests that can be carried out to help medical device developers better understand their product.
Commonly tested products include:

• Catheters
• Guide wires
• Lauer fittings
• Needles
• Syringes
• cannula
• Tracheal Tubes
• Other intravascular devices
