Humphrey Products Receives ISO-13485 Accreditation

Kalamazoo, MI — Humphrey Products is proud to announce that it received the accreditation for ISO 13485: 2003 in addition to its continued accreditation of ISO 9001 status. ISO 13485 represents the requirements that medical device manufacturers must incorporate into their management, engineering, distribution and quality systems.

Adding to all the normal benefits that the ISO 9001 registration provides customers and distribution, ISO-13485 certification provides the system controls, serialization, process change controls and notification that are currently required for products used and sold within medical markets.

“The medical market is a huge and all encompassing category and can cover many and varied applications,” said Robert Humphrey, President and CEO of Humphrey Products, “anywhere from process equipment used in the automated preparation and evaluation of biopsy materials on test slides, to those applications such as oxygen concentrators used by the patient within their own homes, or all the way into the ER, and patient invasive devices used by surgeons to assist with various medical procedures.”

Humphrey Products 410M Series Manifold

The Humphrey Products 410M Series Manifold is designed to accommodate the standard 310 and 410 inline solenoid valves. This special design enables mounting both 3-way and 4-way valves on the same manifold, with the 310 Series mounting orientation determining the normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) function. Manifolds are available in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 station lengths. The manifold contains two galleys, one is common media supply port and the other is a common vent/exhaust port. Other accessories include manifold station block-off plates, a separate 12-station control board that simplifies electrical connections between valves and/or sensors.

The Humphrey Products 310 and 410 solenoid valves are versatile, robust components for any pneumatic application. This balanced poppet design makes them ideal for low power and high flow applications. The 310 and 410 Series valves are compact 1/8-inch ported 3-way and 4-way direct acting solenoid valves. The short-stroke balanced poppet design permits rapid cycling and requires no lubrication. The 310 series can be plumbed normally open, normally closed or as a selector or diverter.

The 310 Series valves have a 0.12 CV; the 410 Series valves have a 0.14 CV. Both valves are rated for air and inert gas from vacuum at 28-inches Hg to 125 psig. The continuous duty coil has a power consumption of 4.5 Watts, comes with flying leads and is available in a range of AC and DC voltages. A push, non-locking manual override is standard. Options include conduit connectors, plug-in DIN-type connectors, locking override, and built-in flow controls on the 410 Series valves to save space, weight and the additional cost of external flow controls.
