Metrological control (MTK) –
Calibration of medical devices
Precision is required for medical devices with a measuring function in order to be able to make correct diagnoses. Therefore, these devices must be regularly checked for their display accuracy.
The metrological control of medical devices with measuring function is regulated in the Medical Devices Operator Ordinance.
These devices must be regularly checked for their display accuracy at device-dependent intervals of 12 or 24 months. This metrological control is often also referred to as “calibration”.
TÜV AUSTRIA carries out these metrological checks on site on
- Blood pressure monitors
- thermometers for determining body temperature and
- Pedal ergometers
