Watson-Marlow to showcase fluid path solutions for medical devices at EBME Expo 2026

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions will showcase its precision fluid management solutions for medical devices and diagnostic instruments at EBME Expo 2026, taking place June 24–25 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, UK.

At booth J29, WMFTS will demonstrate how its peristaltic pumps and critical fluid path technologies support accurate flow control, good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliance and process stability for medical device manufacturers and diagnostic system developers.

Addressing accuracy and compliance challenges in medical devices

Watson-Marlow will highlight how its precision-engineered peristaltic pumps and fluid path technologies help medical device and diagnostics OEMs overcome challenges related to dosing accuracy, contamination control and regulatory compliance.

Visitors can explore how Watson-Marlow’s fluid path technology enhances product quality by delivering accurate flow rates, supporting GMP and cGMP requirements, and improving process reliability in regulated healthcare environments.

Precision fluid path technology for medical and diagnostic applications

Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps are integrated into devices serving a wide range of applications in the medical devices and diagnostics market, including cardiology, surgical ablation, minimally invasive surgery, endoscopy, in vitro diagnostics (IVD), and organ preservation and transportation.

Showcased products at EBME Expo 2026 will include DriveSure^®, a complete OEM panel-mount solution that combines motor, mounting and closed-loop control technology into a single, validated package. DriveSure supports both Industrial Ethernet protocols and traditional analogue control, simplifying integration and reducing development time and risk for OEMs that would otherwise need to source and validate their own motor and mounting systems.

Visitors to the WMFTS booth can discover how the cool, quiet and compact design of DriveSure, combined with precise performance, makes it suitable for demanding laboratory, hospital, cleanroom and process environments where reliable and accurate fluid handling is critical.

Ensuring accuracy, repeatability and contamination control

The exceptional repeatability of Watson-Marlow pumps supports compliance with cGMP and minimises the risk of non-conformance in medical device and diagnostic manufacturing processes. Watson-Marlow pumps deliver accuracy of up to +/-0.5%, helping to guarantee process stability and product quality in applications such as dosing, metering and sample transfer.

Closed fluid path pumping assures complete isolation of the pumped fluid from any external source of contamination during transfer, supporting sterility and patient safety requirements. Watson-Marlow 500 series pumps offer a choice of pumpheads made from chemical-resistant materials, enabling compatibility with a wide range of process fluids used in medical and diagnostic applications.

A broad selection of powerful AC, DC and brushless DC drives provides flexible power and control options for flow rates up to 3,500 mL/min. Routine maintenance is simplified, as changing the tube is the only regular intervention required, helping OEMs and end users reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Supporting OEMs with high-performance fluid path solutions

Watson-Marlow's OEM design, development and production team works closely with clients to optimize the functionality and performance of fluid pumping systems within medical devices and diagnostic instruments.

Cedric Miotton, Sales Team Leader, Medical Devices and Diagnostics, at WMFTS, said, "Medical devices and diagnostic instruments require high precision fluid path components to meet user specifications and regulatory requirements. Our peristaltic pumps are ideal for integrating into medical devices and diagnostic test instruments where accurate, safe and reliable transfer, metering and dosing duties are required.”

WMFTS offers a comprehensive portfolio of peristaltic pumps, drives and fluid path components, supported by in-depth industry expertise, to help OEMs design optimal solutions for medical devices and diagnostic systems. By partnering with Watson-Marlow, manufacturers can address critical requirements for accuracy, reliability, contamination control and regulatory compliance in their fluid management processes.
