QUADTECH’S SENTINEL SYSTEM SHOWS COMMITMENT TO MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS
QuadTech provides the finest quality of medical device testing equipment, services and resources enabling Medical Device Manufacturers to produce higher quality products

Maynard, MA – March 16, 2007 – QuadTech, maker of test and measurement equipment, electrical safety test and passive component measurement solutions, today reaffirmed it’s commitment to the Medical Device Manufacturing (MDM) industry, boasting an industry first – an off-the-shelf, fully automated medical device testing solution. The Sentinel System Solution sets a new standard in the MDM industry making testing simple, fast and error free.

The Sentinel System accurately controls line voltage to the Device Under Test (DUT) while performing hipot, leakage current and functional tests. It also scans patient connections for leakage current without powering down the DUT. The Sentinel System Solution is scalable and easily integrated with QuadTech’s newest software release, CaptivATE©. This automated solution automatically downloads the test setup, creates test sequences, conducts the required measurements and outputs the test results to a print file and/or a database for later printing, viewing, trending and analysis. It also completes Electrical Safety Testing to IEC60601-1 and IEC60601-2-49.

Jeff St. Onge, Chief Engineer of QuadTech’s Medical Division says, “MDM’s can dramatically reduce the number of test instruments, test processes and operator involvement while improving compliance with QSR, ISO13485 and FDA’s 21 CFR 820.” The Sentinel System, he adds, “also helps MDM’s achieve versatility and flexibility, as well as incorporate lean manufacturing benefits into their processes.”

The Sentinel System also integrates with other QuadTech products, further expanding testing capabilities. CEO and President Phil Harris emphasizes the company’s commitment to MDM’s, stating, “QuadTech’s primary goal is to assist our medical customers with their testing needs. We will continue to focus on development and enhancement of safety testing equipment and solutions for the medical community.”

QuadTech ensures solutions meet all operator safety requirements and works with UL to offer public and private seminars addressing various safety regulations for medical device manufacturers. QuadTech is also expanding their complete lines of electrical safety testing solutions for all types of test environments.
