Applications
Device Type | Test Description |
|---|---|
| Intravascular Catheters | Flow rate testing under controlled pressure |
| Non-Intravascular Catheters | Validation of water flow characteristics |
| Infusion Sets | Automated flow delivery measurement and verification |
Standards Compliance
The ToronMed™ CFRT-Auto supports test procedures aligned with major international standards, including:
- ISO 10555-1:2023 – Intravascular catheters – General requirements
- ISO 8536-4 – Infusion equipment for medical use – Infusion sets
