Medical products
The technical side of health
Technology is becoming increasingly important within the framework of medical diagnostics and treatment. Accompanying it are legal requirements for their manufacture and operation. TÜV NORD CERT conducts all relevant certifications and product tests for manufacturers and operators of medical devices.
A medical device: What is it?
Medical devices are defined as instruments, machines, devices, materials or objects used in healthcare either individually or together including the software needed to ensure that they work properly.
They are used:
- To detect, prevent, monitor, treat or alleviate illnesses
- To diagnose, monitor, treat, alleviate or compensate for injuries or disabilities
- To examine, replace or change the anatomic structure or a physiological process
- Family planning
Their primary effects in or on humans is not achieved by pharmacological or immunological means nor via metabolism but can be supported by other means.
