EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of BS 5194-2 testing. This part of BS 5194 specifies requirements for surgical instruments made of stainless steel and with pivot joints such as arterial forceps, needle holders, mouth plugs and other instruments of similar design, but excluding cutting instruments such as scissors and bone nippers.
Metals, plastics, films, resins, textiles and other materials are used in medical devices. Usage depends on environment. Some are sterilized, some are not. Some can be used repeatedly, while others can only be used once.
A pivot mechanism for use with a surgical device includes a first jaw member, a second jaw member, and a pivot pin. The first jaw member includes at least one annular opening. The second jaw member includes at least one square-like opening. The pivot pin is configured to engage between at least one circular opening of the first jaw member and at least one square-like opening of the second jaw member such that the first jaw member is rotatably connected to the second jaw member.
Companies producing medical equipment apply various tests to ensure the functionality, performance and safety of their products. Physical tests and their strength properties are evaluated. Evaluation of the mechanical properties of various forms of medical equipment requires the use of appropriate apparatus for each piece of equipment. For example, as part of the mechanical evaluation of injection needles and injectors, drug manufacturers determine the force required to inject liquids from needles and syringes. The tests ensure that the force exerted by the piston remains within an appropriate range. These values are significantly affected by the material from which the syringe is made, the sterilization processes and the viscosity of the medical fluid.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with BS 5194-2 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more effective, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.
