機器の故障原因を調べる際は、その機器が消毒剤や他の刺激の強い化学薬品に曝露された場合にどうなるかを知っておくことが非常に重要です。こうした化学薬品に常に曝露されていると、機器の構造にひび割れや変色、粘着などの損傷が生じ、その性能や寿命、ひいては安全性をも脅かしかねません。
 
Material choice is a major factor in a device's success or failure. The reality is that many materials commonly used in medical devices today have a low level of compatibility with current disinfectants and cleaning protocols. Low chemical resistance combined with the high-stress environment of a healthcare setting often lead to device failures.
 
Infusion pumps are the No. 1 medical device plagued with significant safety issues related to failures. Ivenix, a medical technology company, is dedicated to eliminating infusion-related patient harm. Recognizing the link between chemical resistance, impact, and device failure, Ivenix collaborated with Eastman to select the latest medical housing polymer for its debut infusion pump. The Eastman polymers used to make the Ivenix pump provide excellent chemical resistance and durability to the aggressive disinfectants used for cleaning devices.
