Summary:The medical device and life sciences industry must meet stringent regulations for quality and product consistency, making process control a critical issue. All materials and manufacturing processes--including machining, assembly and packaging--must be documented for complete traceability and process validation. This is critically important with fluid dispensing applications in the assembly of medical devices, point-of-care testing (POCT) and near-patient testing (NPT) products, and other life sciences applications such as medical wearables, which require accurate and consistent deposition of fluid amounts of UV-cure adhesives, cyanoacrylates, silicones, and other fluids in their manufacture. Regardless of the application, the fluids being dispensed and the dispensing technique, in addition to maintaining the quality standards required, the dispensing method must also meet requirements for volume throughput and cost efficiency.
