Part 2 – Non-compliance can have a tremendous impact on profitability within the medical device manufacturing industry

Ongoing regulatory compliance heavily impacts the development, launch, and manufacture of medical device products. Because of the highly regulated nature of this industry,

Many devices are constructed with passages that must remain open if the product is to function normally when used. During the manufacturing process, it is sometimes possible to inadvertently create a blockage in a passage thus affecting the quality and performance of the device.This will necessitate an occlusion test.

Part 1 – Product innovation is moving at an unbelievable pace in the medical device manufacturing industry

Product innovation is a key performance indicator (KPI) for the medical device industry. Medical device companies are driven to continuously innovate their processes,

Leak detection plays a critical role in medical device manufacturing, as many medical devices rely on device integrity and have fluid management functions that can be dangerous to the patient if compromised. Uson has been partnering with medical device manufacturers for more than 50 years. During that time, we’ve watched

Like its predecessors, the Sprint^mD leak tester is capable of successfully tackling complex leak testing challenges.

This month I am going to take a look at how to approach testing the cracking or opening pressure of valves. Not surprisingly, the pressure at which the valve opens is crucial performance

That’s an interesting question. In the world of leak testing and test and measurement in general we strive for perfection every day. That’s the point of measurements, surely. We want them to be accurate, repeatable and reproducible.

In test and measurement we usually accept some degree of variation which we

Innovation: That’s the subject of this post. I have been with Uson for over 38 years and in that time we have introduced new products at probably much the same rate as any other industrial goods manufacturer. However, over the last few years I have to say the rate of

Anyone using leak testing instrumentation on production lines for inspecting components or assemblies for leaks and/or flow rates can now achieve both higher quality and efficiency operations through improved training offered at no-charge by Uson.

Our hands-on leak testing training sessions are held in various Uson worldwide locations and in

Uson Model 628 Leak Tester

This month I am going to introduce you to the model 628 leak tester, but first a little background to set the stage.

Pressure decay leak testers have long been the mainstay of leak detection in the automotive, medical device and general industrial products
