Title: Testing in Flux: Changing Protocols for a Transformative Industry

As regulations and requirements around the world change, so too do the testing protocols for medical devices, sending OEMs to consult expert partners. Medical device manufacturing is evolving at a rapid pace as innovative new technologies, materials, and smart systems come into the marketplace. Increased complexity of devices and materials, combined with a greater diversity of products, has created the need for specific equipment to test each component and the overall function of the device. For example, shoulders, ankles, elbows, and wrist implants are being more heavily scrutinized, resulting in the development of new test methods—especially in the multi-axis space. Evolving and increasingly complex regulations call for greater validation of equipment and processes. Accreditations have brought reliability to processes, equipment, and data produced from test labs to ensure the devices are tested properly and comply with regulations.
