In extracorporeal circulation systems, air management is critical to patient safety. Devices such as cardiotomy reservoirs and oxygenators must efficiently remove air bubbles from blood before reinfusion. Poor defoaming performance can lead to microemboli, reduced treatment efficiency, and serious complications. That’s why ISO 15674 requires rigorous evaluation of defoaming characteristics as part of device validation.

At our laboratory, we conduct Defoaming Characteristics testing in full compliance with ISO 15674, ensuring every device is assessed under clinically relevant conditions to meet international standards.

In extracorporeal circulation systems, devices such as oxygenators and reservoirs must not only deliver efficient gas exchange and blood handling but also ensure safe and effective air management. The ability to remove and handle air bubbles is critical to patient safety, as residual air can lead to embolism and severe complications. That’s why ISO 15674 requires rigorous Air Handling Capacity testing as part of device validation.

At our laboratory, we conduct Air Handling Capacity testing in full compliance with ISO 15674, ensuring every device is evaluated under clinically relevant conditions to meet international standards.

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.
