Medical devices, that come to contact with blood

An important part of the products we handle are medical devices, that come to contact with blood (blood paths, circulating blood).

For such devices, a dedicated group of tests needs to be performed, described in 10993-4, called hemocompatibility tests. This part of the biocompatibility evaluation process consists of many different parts, among which the most common are hemolysis and thrombosis (coagulation, platelet activation, complement, hematology).

We work with carefully selected blood donors to make our results the most relevant. We can also perform your hemocompatibility tests in the GLP standard!

If you suspect your product might be among those, which need this type of tests, let us know – we can tailor the test selection specifically for your needs.
