Services within this Platform include:
Prototype analysis and design of the medical device
Analysis of the safety risk related to the medical device
Microbiological testing
Mechanical, electrical, electronic or non-clinical toxicological testing
Medical device validation
In vitro e in vivo pre-clinical test
Physico-chemical characterisation
Biocompatibility testing
Performance studies
