    Cranage EMC and Safety (Medical Testing)

    Cranage EMC & Safety offers one of the most comprehensive testing and evaluation services for both highly sophisticated medical equipment and manual and electrical equipment, from ECG monitors, mass spectrometers, baby breathing monitors through to patient trolleys, hoists, ventilators, wheelchairs and autoclaves.

    Medical Device EMC Testing - what are the regulations?
    Within the EU, the Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) has replaced the Medical Device Directive and the Active Implantable Medical Device Directive. The term 'medical device' covers a broad range of items, and is defined in the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 as 'instruments, apparatus, appliances, materials or other articles intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings, for the purpose, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of diseases, injuries or handicaps, replacement or modification of the anatomy or physiological processes'. This definition means that simple devices, such as medical thermometers, to complex, life sustaining devices such as programmable pacemakers, are considered medical devices. The MDR (EU) 2017/745 contains 22 rules for classification, which is an increase on the previous MDD, and these are based on risk, technical design and manufacture.

    The MDR 2017/745 details the essential requirements manufacturers must meet in order to gain CE marking and sell their device within Europe, with the conformity assessment being conducted based on the risk class of the device. Within the MDR, medical devices are categorised into 4, based on their risk.

    - Class I - considered to be the lowest risk.
    - Class IIa - usually low to medium risk & not used for long periods of time, for example tracheotomy tubes.
    - Class IIb - medium to high risk and may be used for longer than 30 days, such as ventilators.
    - Class III - these are the highest risk, an example being pacemakers.

    There have been some changes to classifications within the new MDR, and therefore changes to the process of assessing conformity. It is imperative that manufacturers review these and classify their products appropriately.

    Most manufacturers of Class I devices (unless sterile or those with a measurement function) may self-declare their product confirms with the MDR. Class IIa, Class IIb and Class III must have the involvement of a Medical Notified Body to approve their Declaration of Conformity (DOC). That is where Cranage EMC and Safety come in, with our vast range of Medical Device EMC Testing experience in the field, and our test results form part of the assessment by the appropriate Notified Body. All manufacturers must produce a Technical File to show compliance and the level of detail required has changed in the new MDR. If you require Medical Device EMC Testing then Cranage are on hand to help, our highly experience team are the best in the industry, providing a second to none Medical Device EMC Testing service.

    Therapeutic and Medical Equipment Safety Testing
    Cranage is UKAS accredited for the main medical standards that are used to achieve compliance for worldwide market entry, IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. IEC 60601-1 outlines the general safety and essential performance requirements of medical electrical equipment, and IEC 60601-1-2 determines the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility. At Cranage, we specialise in the assessment of Class I, II and IIb medical electrical equipment with type B, BF and CF applied parts, and have extensive experience that covers a vast range of items. Our comprehensive UKAS schedule also covers the following particular requirements:

    - IEC 60601-1-11 Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment.
    - IEC 60601-2-10 Requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of nerve and muscle stimulators.
    - IEC 61010-2-101 Requirements for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical equipment.

    Medical Electrical Equipment Testing
    Medical electrical devices must be tested for the relevant product safety and EMC standards to ensure they are safe to use. The most common standards are IEC/EN 60601-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2, covering the basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment. Cranage EMC and Safety is a UKAS accredited test laboratory for these standards and our team of experienced engineers can test a vast range of medical devices, with our previous tests including hospital beds, prosthetic limbs, blood pressure monitors, ultrasound devices and pulse oximetry.

    Safety Testing
    Our testing facilities for product safety include:

    - Flammability, Needle Flame and Glow wire
    - Drop testing
    - Tumble barrel
    - EMF testing and surveys
    - Mechanical and electrical testing
    - Comparative Tracking Index

    How much does CE Marking for Medical Devices cost?
    Testing is product specific, due to the range of medical devices and therefore the cost of testing varies. We are UKAS accredited for the standards IEC/EN 60601-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2, showing we have been assessed as technically competent for these standards. Get in touch with our team to discuss the cost of testing your medical device

    How do I get my medical device CE marked?
    CE marking is the responsibility of the manufacturer and is used to confirm the medical device meets the essential requirements of the MDD. A CE mark cannot be applied on Class IIa, Class IIb or Class III devices until a certificate has been issued by a Notified Body.

    Manufacturers must also register their device with the relevant Competent Authority, which is the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK.
