Guide to FDA Requirements and Importance of Medical Device Calibration

Calibration of a device is carried out to minimize the uncertainty in measurements. It helps in reducing the errors and brings the measurement to an acceptable level. With repeated use and over a period of time, all equipment tends to degrade and that affects its accuracy and precision. In the medical device industry, a drift in the measurement is unacceptable. Regular maintenance and service are needed for an instrument to work accurately and at its optimum.
