Medical Manufacturing FAQs

What certifications do medical device machine shops need?

Essential certifications include ISO 13485 (medical device quality management), FDA registration for Class II/III devices, ISO 9001, and often cleanroom certification (ISO 14644). Some also require biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993.

What materials are used for medical device manufacturing?

Common materials include titanium (Grade 2, Grade 5), stainless steel (316L, 17-4PH), PEEK, Delrin, cobalt chrome, nitinol for stents, and various biocompatible plastics. All materials must meet ASTM/ISO biocompatibility standards.

What are typical tolerances for medical components?

Medical device components typically require tolerances of ±0.0001" to ±0.0005". Surgical instruments and implants often demand even tighter tolerances with surface finishes as low as 4 Ra for reduced bacterial adhesion.

How do medical machine shops ensure sterility?

They maintain cleanroom environments (Class 7/8), use validated cleaning processes, implement contamination control procedures, and often provide passivation, electropolishing, or sterilization-ready packaging.

What validation is required for medical device manufacturing?

Process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), design validation, equipment calibration, material certification, biocompatibility testing, and maintaining Device History Records (DHR) per FDA 21 CFR Part 820 requirements.
