Blood Bank Refrigerator, Incubator, Freezers to Be Certified Medical Devices

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 09 Jun 2011
Blood bank refrigerators, plasma and ultra-low temperature freezers, or CO2 incubators to preserve or cultivate cells, tissues, and blood components for human use will be certified as medical devices.

Products include the MCO-19AIC CO2, an incubator with rapid hydrogen peroxide vapor decontamination option, the MBR-305GR blood bank refrigerator, and the MDF-U74V ultra-low temperature freezer. More...
Two new ultra-low freezer models will also gain certification: MDF-U55V, the latest V.I.P. freezer, and MDF-U700VX, which offers an innovative dual-cooling system for the highest level of sample security.

Designed and manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co Ltd. (Osaka, Japan), these instruments preserve or cultivate cells, tissues, and blood components for human use. The company was awarded certification to manufacture blood bank refrigerators, freezers, and incubators as Class IIa Medical Devices by TÜV-Süd, an international certification agency, in 2010.

Sanyo is one of the first major international companies to gain Medical Device certification to European Council directives 93/42/EEC and 2007/47/EC across a wide range of refrigeration and incubation products.
