STANDARDIZED SYRINGE TESTING
The medical device community is continually faced with the challenge of providing patients with reliable solutions for drug delivery. One of the “go-to” delivery platforms are syringes. Glass or plastic syringes are often used in connection with Luer fittings for injection needles, adapters or transfer devices. Another common syringe platform is pre-filled syringes, filled with a fixed dose of drug product in a combination product.
Standardized testing per ISO Syringe Testing standards provides medical device manufacturers and drug delivery experts a common basis for producing reliable test results.
Our syringe test programs support our clients during product development, functional performance and design verification testing to ensure your product is ready for submission to the appropriate regulatory agency.
WE ROUTINELY PERFORM SYRINGE TESTING ON A VARIETY OF TYPES, INCLUDING:
- Prefilled syringes
- Hypodermic syringes
- Glass syringes
- Plastic syringes
