To ensure the compliance and safety of the products, our laboratories offer all the industry stakeholders decades of experience and a comprehensive range of in-vitro, in-vivo, and chemical characterisation testing in line with Italian and international applicable guidelines and regulations.

The Quality System of our laboratories complies with the requirements of UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard and the relevant parts of ISO 9001 standard. The Accredia certification and the Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) can be applied to many testing types: in-vivo and in-vitro biocompatibility testing in line with ISO 10993, ASTM, OECD and USP, microbiological testing, and endotoxin identification testing.

Our offer is tailored to any type of Medical Device (class I, IIa, IIb, III), with reference to the classification set out in Annex IX of Italian Legislative Decree No 46 of 24 February 1997 and to the Devices Composed of Substances as defined in Rule 21, Annex VII of EU Regulation No 2017/745 (MDR).

The Preclinical and Clinical Evaluation (in line with MEDDEV 2.7/1 revision 4) allow to draft the necessary Technical Files for the CE marking process and to rule out pharmacological activity. In addition, the Risk Analysis covering all the stages of the product life cycle allows to evaluate the compliance with the compulsory requirements for medical devices and active implantable devices (Directives 93/42/EEC, 90/385/EEC and 98/79/EC and following amendments and additions).

Depending on the characteristics and intended use of the Medical Device, we carry out appropriate evaluations and testing for the validation of FDA reprocessing, both for microbiology and cleanability and the absence of disinfection residues.

White Lab offers full support from the design of the Medical Device to its marketing and for its whole lifetime, with tailor-made testing protocols
