Interesting and full of information; comprehensive and clear; helpful; very instructive; excellent information. Both speakers (Barbara Kanegsberg; Ed Kanegsberg) were fantastic! Both speakers were very open for discussion. I liked the interaction with the audience.

BFK Solutions conducts public and private workshops for those involved in medical device manufacturing. Ed Kanegsberg moderated a breakout session at an FDA workshop concerned with medical devices produced using additive manufacturing.  As an invited speaker at ASTM and NIST, Barbara Kanegsberg has delivered presentations concerning precision cleaning and materials compatibility issues relating to medical devices. Barbara conducted invited seminars and discussion sessions for residents and faculty at the University of Southern California, Graduate School of Periodontics.   Because manufacturers supplying components to medical device manufacturers are increasingly concerned with providing a quality product to the final assembler, we also present and write articles addressing supply chain issues. Please refer to our publications section

As cleaning and contamination control experts, BFK Solutions participate in ASTM working groups.  We are active in the ASTM F04 committee concerned with standards and guidance documents for cleanliness, surface quality, and leachable residue in single use and reusable medical devices. We are reviewing ASTM standards that would be most pertinent to issues of additive manufacturing  (3D printed materials).
