In-vitro performance testing for Cardiovascular Medical devices – Setting up an efficient testing strategy
Speaker: Jan Roggenkamp, General Manager, Eurofins Medical Device Testing Aachen, Germany
Date: 8 October 2026
Time: 15:00 - 15:40 CET
Language: English
Successful medical device development requires a well-planned testing strategy that aligns with technical objectives, regulatory expectations, timelines, and budget constraints.
This webinar will provide practical guidance on planning and conducting in-vitro performance studies throughout the entire product development lifecycle. While in-vitro studies conducted for regulatory product approval should generally comply with applicable international standards and guidelines, development-supporting studies can often be designed with greater flexibility to accelerate decision-making and optimize resources. To increase testing efficiency during the development phase, tests can be performed with reduced requirements, or test conditions can be even selected to challenge the product to its limits. Participants will learn about the challenges, efficient solutions for product testing and key issues from the perspective of a testing laboratory.
📌 In this webinar, you will learn:
How to strategically plan in-vitro studies considering:
- In-vitro testing requirements
- Availability of appropriate testing metho
- Product development phase
- Project timelines and scheduling
- Cost efficiency
👤 Who Should Join?
Product development teams & engineers:
Strengthen your understanding of regulatory requirements for product approval testing and time management for product testing during the whole development process.
Medical Device Manufacturers & Medical Device Start-ups:
Get an insight in strategic test planning for different products and development phases while considering compliance to applicable standards and cost-efficiency.
Quality, risk & validation experts
While engineering requirements and test method validation needs are strongly connected, especially for product approval testing, Quality, Risk and Validation Experts will profit from getting to know the quality and qualification approach from a laboratory’s perspective.
In Summary:
In this webinar, you will learn how to strategically plan and conduct in-vitro performance studies throughout the medical device development lifecycle, balancing regulatory requirements, timelines, testing methods, and cost efficiency. The session will also provide practical insights into optimizing development-phase testing and overcoming common product testing challenges from a laboratory perspective.
