Our Testing Services
When choosing a medical device testing laboratory to perform evaluations, there are four key elements to consider:
- Interaction with a senior engineer to review the intricacies of the device and to ensure the proposed testing will address corporate goals and objectives
- Accurate implementation of the testing standard(s)
- Comprehensive reporting of the materials, procedures and data to align with ASTM/ISO and USFDA reporting requirements
- Regularly scheduled and documented verification, calibration and maintenance of testing equipment
ORL does all of the above, always has, and laid the groundwork for many of today’s active standards!
