Testing of catheters, Luers, needles,
syringes, guidewires and IV infusion now available at DDL West
DDL, Inc. announced it is now offering select medical device testing at its DDL West laboratory
located in Irvine, CA. Testing of catheters, Luers,
needles, syringes, guidewires and IV infusion sets is now available at this
location. Previously, testing of these products was only available at DDL’s
headquarters in Eden Prairie, MN.
The DDL West laboratory recently relocated from Fountain
Valley, CA to Irvine, CA. The new
facility more than doubles the lab space, which will increase DDL’s testing capacity
and ability to grow to better meet its customers’ testing needs. The medical device testing being added
is in addition to the package testing (ISO 11607) and ICH stability testing already
being offered in this lab facility. Full product, materials and package testing
capabilities continue to be offered at DDL’s headquarters.
“The addition of medical device testing to DDL West
reflects our commitment to offering our customers the best testing experience
possible,” said Corey Hensel, General
Manager, DDL. “Having these additional testing services will allow us to
provide faster turnaround and reduce
development lead time and shorten product time-to-market for our medical
device and pharmaceutical customers located in California and the surrounding
region.”
The testing being added to DDL’s CA lab will utilize the following
standards:
·
ISO 80369-6 – Medical connectors for neuraxial applications
·
ISO 80369-7 – Medical connectors for intravascular or hypodermic
applications
·
ISO 10555 – Sterile and single-use catheters
