Medical Device Testing Climate Chamber Programmable Meets ASTM Standards

1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Robust and Insulated Chamber Structure
  • The chamber is constructed with a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant outer shell, typically made of stainless steel. The interior is lined with high-quality insulation materials that minimize heat transfer and maintain precise temperature and humidity gradients. The door is equipped with a reliable sealing mechanism and a viewing window, allowing operators to monitor the test process without disturbing the internal environment. The overall design is optimized to withstand the rigors of continuous operation and provide a stable testing environment.
• Precision Temperature and Humidity Control System
  • At the heart of the chamber lies a sophisticated control system. It can achieve a wide temperature range, typically from -20°C to +60°C, with an accuracy of ±0.3°C. The humidity control range extends from 10% to 95% relative humidity, with an accuracy of ±2% RH. The system utilizes high-performance refrigeration units, electric heaters, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers, all coordinated by a precise PID controller. Multiple temperature and humidity sensors are strategically placed throughout the chamber to provide real-time feedback, enabling the control system to make instantaneous and accurate adjustments to maintain the desired environmental conditions.
• Programmable Testing Modes
  • The chamber is equipped with a highly programmable control panel. It allows operators to easily set up and execute a variety of test sequences as per ASTM requirements. These include temperature cycling, where medical devices are exposed to alternating high and low temperatures; humidity cycling, to assess the impact of moisture on device performance; and combinations of both, simulating real-world scenarios such as storage and transportation conditions. The programmable nature of the chamber ensures accurate and repeatable testing, enabling manufacturers to obtain reliable data for product improvement and compliance.
• Intuitive Control Panel and Data Acquisition Interface
  • The equipment is furnished with an intuitive control panel that simplifies the operation and parameter setting. Operators can effortlessly adjust temperature, humidity, test durations, and other parameters using a user-friendly interface. The control panel also provides real-time displays of the current environmental conditions, as well as any alarms or warnings. The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system. It records all relevant test data, including temperature and humidity histories, rate of change of environmental parameters, and any observable changes in the medical device samples. The data can be stored in a built-in memory or exported to external storage devices for further analysis. The system can also generate detailed test reports in various formats, facilitating easy documentation and sharing of results.
• Safety Features and Alarms
  • To ensure the safety of operators and the integrity of the testing process, the chamber is equipped with a range of safety features. These include over-temperature and over-current protection, emergency stop buttons, and alarms for abnormal temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, or equipment malfunctions. The safety features are designed to prevent damage to the chamber, the medical device samples, and the surrounding environment, providing peace of mind during the testing operation.
