| Clean-room assembly line for disposable products |
| In order to guarantee the sterility of disposable products, assembly, inspection and packing are performed in a clean-room before sterilization. The thoroughly dustproof and bacteria-free clean-rooms are always kept at a suitable temperature and humidity. Since these medical devices will come in direct contact with the human body, it is of utmost importance to guarantee their safety. |

Parts processing machine using a multi-functional lathe |
| Thanks to Olympus's special know-how, we have been able to cut production times dramatically by integrating several different functions in an automated processing system for extremely delicate parts. |
|
|
| Assembly of precision parts |
|
 |
| Precision parts like the tips of biopsy forceps are assembled by robots and automatically processed using the very latest technology. |

Sterilization control of disposable products in a microbiological laboratory |
| While reusable products are disinfected by the doctor before use, disposable products are sterilized by Olympus before shipping. Here, a test is performed on a bacterial culture to check that the sterilization is complete. |
|
|
| A room with constant temperature and humidity for environmental testing |
|
 |
| Our products are shipped to locations all over the world. In this room, the temperature can be set between 10 and 40? and the humidity between 10 and 98% to simulate various conditions for storage and use. |
|
|
 |
|
Safety evaluation for human use |
| Strength and durability tests are performed under various conditions to evaluate the safety when the products are used on the human body. Elution tests are also performed to ensure that no foreign matter harmful to the human body dissolves from the products. |
