Home / On-site resources
Equipment, utilities, storage and logistics available within the classified space. All items listed are installed and in production use. Shared resources are included with a space engagement. Requirements not listed are identified during scoping and either sourced or specified as customer-supplied.
Equipment not listed can frequently be sourced faster than customer procurement.
01 / At the bench
Assembly equipment within the classified space. No process step requires removal from the cleanroom.
| Resource | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| UV curing stations | Spot cure of UV adhesives at bond joints — tip bonds, hub bonds, strain reliefs, marker bands. | Spot cure |
| UV assembly & curing fixtures | Hold geometry while the joint cures, so bond position and concentricity repeat unit to unit. | Program-specific |
| EFD dispensers | Controlled, repeatable adhesive placement by volume and time instead of by hand feel. | Benchtop |
| Stereo microscopes | Assembly, bonding and in-process inspection at the bench. | 6× |
| Lamination & reflow oven | Large-format oven for lamination, reflow and coating cure across full working-length assemblies — controlled, uniform thermal profile over the whole device. | Oven |
| Batch processing oven | Thermal cure, anneal and reflow steps run as controlled batches. | Batch |
| Ultrasonic cleaner | Component cleaning before assembly and between process steps. | Benchtop |
| ESD workbenches | Static-safe assembly surfaces with overhead lighting, power and air at each station. | Dedicated |
| Hot air systems | Localized heat for shrink, reflow and forming operations. | At bench |
| Automated braider | Programmable braiding for braid-reinforced shaft constructions — controlled pick count, wire size and pattern across the working length. | Automated |
02 / Sealed and checked
Packaging is performed in the classified space. The sterile barrier is applied before the device is exposed to uncontrolled air.
| Resource | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pouch sealer | Seals sterile barrier packaging inside the cleanroom, so packaging is not a re-contamination step. | In-room |
| Seal peel tester | Verifies seal strength and integrity on the packaging you just produced. | 12" |
| Leak tester | Lumen and joint integrity checks on finished and in-process assemblies. | Benchtop |
| Hydrophilic coating | Two automated dip-coating systems with programmable draw profiles, plus lamination, reflow and batch curing. Applied and tested on site — removes a vendor, a shipment and a week from every lubricity iteration. | 2 systems |
| Laser inspection | Automated laser inspection for dimensional verification and defect detection, without contact with the device surface. | Automated |
| Laser micrometer | LaserLinc Triton 330 non-contact laser measurement for outer diameter, ovality and dimensional verification — no contact, no deformation of soft tubing. | LaserLinc |
| Dimensional data capture | Measurement data logged to a workstation for in-process control and records rather than read off a dial and written down. | Logged |
| Transfer room airlock | Materials wiped down and unwrapped from shipping packaging before entering the room. | Airlock |
| Gowning & garments | Coveralls, bouffants, boot covers and gloves, staged and maintained for your team. | Provided |
03 / Behind the wall
Classified space performance depends on supporting infrastructure. Air generation, filtration and pressure control are specified and maintained as an integrated system.
| System | What it means for your build | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clean dry compressed air | Kaeser rotary screw compressor with refrigerated dryer and multi-stage filtration, plumbed to a drop at every bench. Dry, filtered air at the point of use, not shop air off a tank. | Kaeser |
| Hard-wall cleanroom construction | Terra Universal modular panel system with sealed epoxy flooring, vision panels and interlocked doors. Wipeable, non-shedding, and reconfigurable as programs change. | Terra Universal |
| Filtration & pressure cascade | Filtered positive-pressure downflow with a gowning-to-transfer-to-floor pressure sequence, so air always moves from cleaner space toward less clean space. | ISO 7 |
| Power at the bench | Distributed outlets at every workstation for your dispensers, curing units and test equipment. | At bench |
| Network & access control | Structured cabling, badge-controlled entry and monitored alarm on the facility. | Secured |
| Expansion space | Additional classified space available as a program scales, so a successful pilot does not force a vendor change. | Available |



04 / Before and after the build
Material availability is the most common cause of lost schedule at build start. Advance shipment removes it.
| Resource | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Advance shipping | Send components, fixturing and equipment ahead of your start date. We receive, log and stage everything so your team walks into a ready bench. | Pre-start |
| Receiving & inspection | Incoming materials received and documented against your acceptance criteria, so discrepancies surface before they are built into product. | Documented |
| Secured material storage | Assigned storage for incoming components, work in process and finished goods. | Assigned |
| Outbound shipping | Finished builds shipped direct to your test lab, sterilizer or clinical site rather than routed back through your office first. | Direct |
| Office desk space | Desks on site for the engineers who need to sit near the bench, not across town. | On site |
| Records handover | Build records and materials return to you at the end of the term, whichever team ran the benches. | At term end |
05 / The resource that is not equipment
Build schedule is governed as much by technician qualification and engineering availability as by equipment.
Experienced, professional technicians already gowned into this room every day and trained on catheter assembly, bonding, coating and packaging. Available to staff your build under our ISO 13485 quality system, scaled up or down with the schedule.
No recruitment, relocation or training lead time, and no retained headcount after build completion.
Experienced engineering and technical personnel support projects from early development through manufacturing, providing senior-level engineering expertise and hands-on implementation support.
06 / Honest list
Equipment not held on site, identified during scoping rather than at build start.
Some items can be sourced or rented in; others are process-specific and customer-supplied. Submit a process flow for a line-by-line assessment prior to commitment.
Manufacturing requirements and limitations are identified during the quotation process, before production begins.
