Teamwork makes the dream work 🤝 Another milestone in the testing of medical devices has been reached – while strengthening the cooperation of Applus+ IMA Dresden and the Applus+ MedLab Shanghai. A simulator for wear modeling (type Kx8) was recently shipped there, after servohydraulic testing modules had already been delivered in November 2022. The simulator will be used for approval tests and development tests for knee joints, ankle joints and shoulder prosthesis after the lab’s initial auditing expected in May 2023. The simulator’s journey from Dresden to the installation in the lab only took six days. This achievement was only possible due to a strong cooperation. Thanks to both teams! [...]

In case of a fire, the fire department is there in an instant to help. When using extinguishing water from the drinking water network, many aspects have to be considered. Yesterday, considerable manufacturers of fire engines came to Applus+ IMA Dresden GmbH to attend the respective work group of the VDMA focusing on drinking water protection in fire engines according to DIN 14502-2. After the meeting, the participants learned more about pipes and pipe system testing, automotive testing, environment simulation und electrical strength assessment. Hopefully none of us will find themselves in a situation, when they have to call the fire department. But it is very reassuring to know, how conscientiously the vehicles are designed, built and continuously [...]
