About MET

 

Medical Engineering Technologies Ltd. has been providing technical and scientific solutions to medical device manufacturers since 1997. Our service is delivered through in-depth knowledge; expert advice and wide ranging study capabilities all combined with efficient project management.

MET specialises in the testing and validation of medical devices and their packaging. We also have a laboratory validation group supporting hospital scientists.

Companies large and small come to us for stability studies, sterile barrier studies, biocompatibility testing, bench testing and product analysis. Recent additions to laboratory equipment allow us to conduct tests on interventional devices including radial force measurement, trackability and insertion forces. Fatigue studies on heart valves and stents are also a core activity.

Research & Development

Get your project off the ground with MET's concept-to-prototype design service, supported by our team's broad experience in a wide variety of medical device design projects and sophisticated models for simulating product use. At the next stage, our bench testing services focus on the assessment of products against the relevant regulatory standards or your own tailor-made testing regime. Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 is key to CE marking and FDA submissions. MET's scientific team has in-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements and will advise you on all testing necessary to ensure device safety and compliance. Biological safety testing is conducted by specialist partners under rigorous laboratory control.

Production

Accelerated ageing according to ASTM F1980 whereby packs are stored at elevated temperature to simulate real shelf-life ageing is one of many trials MET conducts as part of packaging validation.

To fully support project engineering MET supply a full complement of validation services: production equipment validation, packaging machine validation, testing equipment validation and laboratory equipment validation. Experienced engineers produce reports fully documented with IQ, OQ and PQ.

When it comes to packaging machines, blister tray sealers and pouch sealers, our range of semi or fully automatic machines offers solutions from trial runs to large scale manufacture. Our packaging machines are specifically suited to the medical industry: designed for clean room operation - easy to validate against ISO 11607 - reliable and consistent performance.

Quality Assurance

For your critical QA process, we supply a wide range of testing equipment for medical device testing, pharmaceutical device testing and packaging testing. Multiple technologies (dye, leak & flow, burst, Hydrogen, CO2 etc) are available to ensure the most appropriate method is used. Our equipment will play a key part in maintaining product quality and pack integrity throughout shelf-life.

Free up time and resources to concentrate on your value-added activities! Our unique First Line QA service makes compliance with the new EU MEDDEV 2.12-1 Rev 5 "Guidelines on a medical devices vigilance system" easier to comply with. This confidential service provides our clients with a structured and time-sensitive product complaint management with independent reports. Tailored to your exact requirements, it includes: decontamination, checks against specifications, physical diagnostic, compliance with standards and archiving.
