Stability Test Chamber

Industry: Medical Devices

Testing Application: Steady-State Temperature and Humidity Validation for Global Product ComplianceA prominent company in the medical device sector approached Associated Environmental Systems (AES) in need of a specialized environmental test system to validate the long-term stability and performance of their life-saving technologies. To support their expansive operations in two different countries, the client required a solution that could meet specific international power requirements and integrate seamlessly with their proprietary in-house control software. The challenge centered on achieving high-precision environmental uniformity while ensuring the chamber could communicate directly with the client's existing digital infrastructure for streamlined data collection and remote management.

The AES Solution

AES engineered a custom-configured LH-10 Temperature and Humidity Stability Chamber, a high-performance floor-model system built to meet the unique demands of the medical device application.

• Custom Software Integration & API Capability: While LH-10's come standard with AESONE CONNECT® interface, this chamber was specifically tailored to communicate with the client’s own software via an HTTP JSON API over Ethernet, allowing for centralized control and data synchronization across their global facilities.
• Precision Steady-State Environment: The LH-10 delivers a versatile temperature range of -20°C to 94°C with an exceptional stability of ±0.5°C, coupled with a humidity range of 10-95% RH to replicate diverse global climates.
• Advanced Monitoring & Validation: To ensure absolute compliance, the solution includes a Honeywell EZ Trend digital chart recorder and underwent a rigorous Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) using data loggers to verify rapid ramp rates and 3-hour stability windows.
• Closed-Loop Resource Management: The system features a HUMS20001 Water Recycling System with a 6-gallon storage tank and demineralizer, allowing for extended testing cycles without the need for a dedicated water line, all while mounted on heavy-duty brake casters for lab mobility.

Crafting Your Perfect Test Set-Up

This solution was standard product with custom features to meet medical device testing demands in integrating specialized hardware into a global, software-driven manufacturing workflow. By combining precision thermal stability, flexible API integration, and comprehensive validation services, AES delivered a system that seamlessly accelerates development cycles and ensures product reliability under strict international regulatory standards. This project highlights AES’s commitment to designing advanced, customized test solutions that help engineers push boundaries that support innovation in the medical device sector and beyond.
