Device Failure Analysis

When a medical device fails—whether during development, manufacturing, or clinical use—understanding the root cause is essential. Device failure analysis identifies material, design, or process weaknesses that compromise performance. At Invision Biomedical, we provide advanced failure analysis services that protect patient safety and support design improvements.

Applications & Methods

SEM Imaging

High-resolution microscopy reveals failure points at the microstructural level.

Mechanical Stress Testing

Instron platforms quantify tensile, compressive, and cyclic loading properties.

Root Cause Analysis

Analysis determines whether failures originate from materials, manufacturing, or design.

Design Improvement Recommendations

Findings help clients optimize device design for durability and safety.
