How to Eliminate PCB Static in Medical Electronics
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one problem that can severely affect electronic medical devices causing malfunctions and damage to the microelectronic components. An estimated one-third of PCB failures are attributed to ESD. Without controls and effective processes to eliminate electrostatic discharge in medical devices, it can cause serious hazards to human safety.
Don’t Let the EU MDR Transition Delay Fool You
A recent timeline shift for the European Union’s Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) has created what one regulatory expert is calling, “The Great Misunderstanding of the MDR Amendment.”
How Human Factors Engineering Can Contribute to Medical Device Packaging
Even though packaging for medical devices occurs when manufacturing is complete, planning for packaging must be applied at the very beginning of the product design and carried on throughout the development process.
