Extracorporeal circulation devices — such as oxygenators, blood pumps, and reservoirs — must not only deliver reliable performance but also preserve the integrity of circulating blood. One of the most critical safety concerns is blood cell damage, including hemolysis, platelet activation, and leukocyte depletion. Excessive damage can compromise patient outcomes, reduce treatment efficiency, and increase clinical risks. That’s why ISO 15674 requires rigorous evaluation of blood compatibility as part of device validation.
At our laboratory, we conduct Blood Cell Damage testing in full compliance with ISO 15674, ensuring every device is assessed under clinically relevant conditions to meet international standards.
