24 FiberTech 24 Medical Devices for laser medicine & endoscopy Quality checks and materials Production conditions Bio compatibility All of our medical devices meet the applicable requirements of EN ISO and USP Class VI standards for biological assessment of medical devices. The biocompatibility of the materials used was demonstrated by NAMSA under tests, which included: Cytotoxicity Study ASTM Hemolysis Systemic Toxicity Study Maximation Sensitization Study Intracutaneous Study Our medical devices are produced in clean rooms of ISO Class 8. The clean rooms and our products are subject to regular hygiene monitoring to ensure a defined environment condition and safety of sterilization. Sterilization ETO in-house Products for single use are sterilized using the ETO method and are delivered sterile. Upon request, our reusable products can also be supplied sterile. For the treatment of our products for reuse a successful steam sterilization in the autoclave was verified as part of an efficiency validation and the influence of the materials used in relation to their performance and the preservation of their biocompatibility was examined.

All fibers can be assembled to the customer s specific needs for high-performance laser cables or, for example, spectroscopic applications. We manufacture medical fibers for laser energy transmission and also offer series production of surgical, ophthalmological, urological, dental and endovascular laser probes with biocompatible materials. FiberSwitch Light Switching for Optical Systems Our fiber optical switches are based on a patented micromechanical/micro-optical design. This guarantees excellent properties, considerable flexibility and maximum long-term stability for many applications. The switches are available for wide wavelength ranges from the visible to the infrared and for a wide variety of fiber types. Our switches are designed for applications with the highest requirements in the telecommunications area, in measurement and testing and in the biomedical area. Examples of these complex applications include spectroscopy, laser scan microscopy, multi-channel optical performance monitoring, fiber bragg sensors, testing of fiber optical cables and environmental trace analysis. FiberSplit Light Distribution for Optical Systems Based on optical chip technology, the FiberSplit product portfolio includes standard components such as 1N or 2N splitters as well as customised modules or systems with integrated complex functionality for fiber optical singlemode and multimode systems. FiberSplit products guarantee expandability with wide optical bandwidth and maximum bit rates thanks to extremely low PDL/PMD. Our products meet TELCORDIA standards and have been failure-free in the field for the past 16 years. We also produce customer-specific chips, components and modules, for example optical waveguide structures for wavelength ranges between 600 and 1700 nm with various waveguide properties and functions including optical chips and fiber arrays.
