Faster, Consistent Offline Catheter Inspection
Manual catheter inspection can take up to three minutes per part and relies heavily on operator judgment, increasing variability and the risk of human error. These inefficiencies often result in rework, delayed production, and customer complaints. The MEDX-5100 offline catheter inspection system replaces manual processes with automated 360-degree surface inspection, delivering consistent, repeatable results while improving throughput and reducing inspection-related costs.
High-Speed Defect Detection with Real-Time Feedback
The MEDX-5100 reduces offline catheter inspection time to as little as 15 seconds per catheter. Advanced material handling and high-resolution imaging enable immediate inspection once the mandrel is placed in the holder. Operators are provided with real-time surface images and detailed defect information, including size and location, allowing for accurate detection of surface defects in catheters.
Quality Assurance, Traceability, and ROI
Built to support medical device quality requirements, the MEDX-5100 records defect locations with high-quality images for full traceability and analysis. This data helps technical teams identify surface imperfections to prevent rejects and customer returns. By improving inspection accuracy and reducing rework, manufacturers often achieve a return on investment in as little as 16 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the MEDX-5100 do?
An operator places the catheter into the MEDX-5100, and the system automatically performs 360-degree surface inspection — delivering consistent, repeatable results while cutting inspection time and labor cost compared to fully manual inspection.
How much faster is the MEDX-5100 than manual catheter inspection?
Manual catheter inspection can take up to three minutes per part. The MEDX-5100 reduces inspection time to as little as 15 seconds per catheter.
Is the MEDX-5100 an inline or offline system?
The MEDX-5100 is an offline system. An operator loads each catheter into the holder, then the system’s motorized material handling and high-resolution imaging take over — replacing manual visual inspection with a faster, repeatable, automated process.
What ROI can manufacturers expect from the MEDX-5100?
By improving inspection accuracy and reducing rework, manufacturers using the MEDX-5100 often achieve a return on investment in as little as 16 weeks.
