As technology advances, the integration of Printed Circuit Boards (“PCB”s) into medical equipment has become a standard requirement in the healthcare industry. From compact pacemakers, defibrillators, and heart monitors to advanced medical imaging systems like MRIs and CT scans, PCBs are vital components supporting the functionality of these lifesaving devices. Their presence enables the seamless integration of innovative diagnostic, research, and treatment methods into medical practice.
Due to their critical use, PCBs for medical applications are subject to high standards for design, manufacturing, and quality control. These medical-grade PCBs often utilize materials and processes for enhanced reliability, longevity, and safety, incorporating technologies such as high-density interconnect (“HDI”) for increased functionality in compact spaces and flexible PCBs for dynamic applications like wearable health monitors. Manufacturing these PCBs typically requires adherence to rigorous certifications like ISO 13485. It ensures the traceability of all components and processes, a crucial aspect in an industry where component reliability can significantly impact health outcomes.
