The expanding scope of medical device testing

Medical product safety, performance and quality paradigms are shifting as devices become more interoperable, hospital environments become more complex and digital health technologies proliferate. Only through third-party testing and certification can manufacturers demonstrate claims of safety, quality and performance for their products, even as they innovate.
