Process validation is important in the introduction and manufacture of new medical devices and PCBs (printed circuit boards). Critical activities, such as parts cleaning with cleanroom compatibility, must be performed under controlled conditions that are tested and validated. Validation helps ensure that new and often advanced medical devices and their parts consistently meet set quality…
Cleaning is an important step in medical device manufacturing. Whether it is production of high-reliability medical electronics (which often includes dense circuitry within very small, complex packages) or multifaceted assemblies with intricate shapes and delicate parts, all must be cleaned to meet reliability and quality standards.For many companies, validated cleaning processes are already established. However,…
“Stacked tolerances” is a term that describes a production problem in the engineering of medical devices when the cumulative effects of allowable variation aggregate towards a single vector or dimension. Normally, variances are expected to “average out” towards a design ideal. However, it is common — especially with injection-molded parts — to see tolerances gradually…
Watch how well a vapor degreaser can clean manufactured medical parts so they are perfectly clean and dry for the next step in your manufacturing process.
MicroCare Medical delivers the high performance cleaning for medical devices using a process called “vapor degreasing.” This water-free process is a superior choice for medical devices because the process easily cleans parts of any size and geometry. Cleaning is fast and gentle, and the parts come out clean, dry and cool to the touch. Perhaps…
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are the primary sources of low-altitude smog. 'Organic' means the chemical comes from something that used to be alive; 'Volatile' means it evaporates quickly; 'Compound' means it's a complex molecule containing many ingredients and not just a simple element. If a VOC has a long atmospheric life, it will react with…
