TESTS

DENTAL INDUSTRY

Testing of materials (ceramics and metals), composites, and adhesive bands to determine fatigue resistance on dental implants.

BIOMECHANICS AND ORTHOPAEDICS

We carry out tests on prostheses to verify functions and structures of the musculoskeletal system and movements of biological systems.

MEDICAL PACKAGING

Testing of medical and pharmaceutical product packaging to ensure product safety over an extended storage period.

A significant element of process validation in the medical and pharmaceutical industries is the technical review of individual implants and devices. This qualification also applies to STEP Lab dynamic test systems used in these sectors, which are subject to various legal requirements (e.g. Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC or regulations such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Guideline All. 11). STEP Lab supports its customers in the qualification DQ, IQ and OQ for material testing systems, providing comprehensive and customised documentation in accordance with GAMP5 and current guidelines, and carrying out the actual qualification procedure on site.
