PCB prototyping is always valuable for about any electronics design application. However, the medical industry benefits greatly from rapid PCB prototyping in its development cycle.

 

Technical developers in the medical industry often use rapid PCB prototyping in their development cycles. So PCBs in this field are used for implantable medical devices, imaging devices and laboratory equipment used to diagnose and treat diseases.

Optimal functionality is critical. Prototyping allows designers to test the functionality of each PCB before it goes into production, thus ensuring that the PCB will function as needed. Rapid prototyping further improves the industry’s results by allowing for faster, more thorough testing.

 

PCB prototyping in implantable medical devices.

Cochlear implants – Hearing impaired people use cochlear implants to help hear sounds

Defibrillators – People at high risk for heart disease need implantable defibrillators

Reactive neurostimulators – used by people with epilepsy

 

PCB prototypes in medical imaging devices.

MRI

CT

Ultrasound devices

 

PCB prototypes in medical monitoring equipment.

Temperature monitor

Blood glucose monitor

Blood pressure monitors

 

Some other devices that also use PCB prototyping services are pacemakers, electromyography systems, peristaltic infusion techniques and muscle stimulation devices. Regardless of the type of device used, PCBs need to be created on a case-by-case basis to meet feature requirements or laboratory settings. For medical devices, SMT assembly works best.

 

For PCB prototyping, advantages of SMT include:

Easy to automate compared to through-hole methods

Lower Cost compared to through-hole

Takes up less space and is suitable for miniaturized devices

 

Guidelines for selecting a medical device manufacturer

For medical device manufacturers, strict FDA guidelines need to be followed, and it is critical for domestic and foreign manufacturers to register their facilities with the FDA. Companies need to register electronically, unless the FDA allows an exemption.

 

Another requirement that manufacturers need to comply with is the list of devices

Contract Manufacturer (CM)

Manufacturer

Contract sterilizers

Re-labelers and re-packagers

Remanufacturers

Specification Developers

Manufacturers of accessories and components for direct sales to end users

Decontamination machine disposable equipment

U.S. export only equipment manufacturers
