Ophthalmic Medical Device Testing

Eurofins Medical Device Testing network of laboratories is a global leader in ophthalmic medical device testing with expertise in a wide range of products and manufacturing processes to help assess the biological risks of a new device design or process change. Our chemists, toxicologists, and veterinarians can assist with developing an appropriate testing programme for assessing the safety of your ophthalmic medical device. From chemical characterisation of degradation products and extractables and leachables testing, to toxicological risk assessments and biological evaluations, Eurofins Medical Device Testing can facilitate the appropriate testing necessary to best support your international regulatory submissions for ophthalmic medical devices.
