A medical device manufacturer has upgraded its in-house heat treating capabilities with a dual-chamber furnace system, which will give the company the same pyrometry requirement in its medical device production as materials and parts produced for the aerospace and defense industry in terms of furnace/oven calibration, classification and performance requirements.
Straits Orthopaedics in Penang, Malaysia, commissioned DELTA H TECHNOLOGIES for a second dual-chamber aerospace heat treat (DCAHTTM) furnace system. The furnace system, controls, and software are designed for full compliance to the medical accreditation program “MedAccred” as well as the US FDA’s recent recognition and adoption of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aerospace Materials Specification 2750 (AMS2750) pyrometry standard.
“Previously medical device pyrometry standards varied somewhat from manufacturer to manufacturer,” said Richard Conway, DELTA H chief technology officer and founder. “With the adoption of the well-established AMS2750 standard, there is a consistent requirement across the industry. For DELTA H this is an exciting opportunity in a market that now has the same uncompromising demands for performance and accountability which our thermal processing systems are designed for.”
“DELTA H is making great contributions to our heat treating technology which is delighting all our customers,” Mr. TH Su, CEO of Straits Orthopaedics.
