Medical Device Method Development & Validation
Infinity accelerates the path to market by developing and validating the appropriate tests for Class III medical device filings. Method validation services are performed under GMP and GLP conditions and follow ICH and USP guidelines for specificity, accuracy, and precision.
PMA Testing Services
Infinity provides the flexibility and service of a local lab with solutions of a national network. Our PMA testing is always conducted under the regulations of appropriate standard bodies, which include the United States, European, and Japanese pharmacopeias and ISO.
Chemical Characterization
Chemical Characterization
Standard: ISO 10993
Chemical characterization of medical device materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites, to provide ISO 10993 biocompatibility data for regulatory filings. Additionally, tests characterize ancillary chemicals associated with device production, such as plasticizers, fillers, additives, cleaning agents, and release agents.
Medical Device Extractables & Leachables
Medical Device Extractables & Leachables
Standard: ISO 10993 Chemical Characterization Testing
Set of methods to characterize complex chemical interactions in medical device materials (polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites) to characterize extractables and leachables properly.
Failure Analysis
Failure Analysis
Standard: Product Dependent
Conducted when the medical device does not meet performance criteria to find the root cause of the failure. Since failure can be caused by ingredients, contaminants, storage, and numerous other factors, failure analysis encompasses a diverse range of tests.
Impurity Identification
Impurity Identification
Standard: USP <232>, USP <233>
Detects and identifies unknown materials in medical devices under FDA and ICH recommendations.
Material Compatibility Studies
Material Compatibility Studies
Standard: Product dependent
Seeks to understand whether or not the different component materials in a medical device, including a drug component, can negatively interact with each other and impact the performance or safety of the overall device.
