Biocompatibility Studies for Medical Devices.

Biocompatibility Studies are conducted as per ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 for the testing of medical devices. In accordance with ISO, US FDA, and regulatory approval criteria for CE marking, our team of highly qualified scientists thoroughly assesses your equipment for biological compatibility.
