Performance Testing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance testing of a medical device involves assessing its functionality, reliability, and effectiveness under various conditions to ensure it meets the required performance standards. It aims to identify any performance bottlenecks, limitations, or potential issues that could affect the device\u2019s performance in real-world scenarios.
