Ensuring Patient Safety and Device Reliability
Astrodyne TDI (ATDI) has partnered with a prominent medical device manufacturer to enhance the safety and reliability of medical equipment, focusing specifically on gastrointestinal endoscopic assessments and surgical operations. This collaboration aims to address the critical need for dependable power solutions in the medical field, where the safety of power supply systems is paramount. In medical environments, any interruption or fluctuation in power can have serious consequences, potentially affecting the performance of life-saving equipment. Therefore, ensuring a stable and secure power supply is of utmost importance. Medical-grade isolation transformers play a crucial role in this context. These transformers are designed to provide electrical separation between medical devices and the power grid, which is essential for several reasons. Firstly, they help prevent electrical shocks to patients and healthcare professionals by isolating the medical equipment from potential power surges or faults in the grid. Secondly, they ensure that the medical devices function optimally without interference from external electrical noise or disturbances. This is particularly important in sensitive procedures like endoscopic assessments and surgeries, where precision and reliability are critical. By incorporating these transformers, ATDI and its partner are committed to safeguarding patient safety and enhancing the overall functionality and reliability of medical devices used in critical healthcare settings.
Powering Requirements for Endoscopic and Surgical Procedures
Endoscopic evaluations and surgical procedures require power solutions that meet stringent standards to ensure patient safety and device reliability. Isolation transformers used in these settings must be compact, lightweight, and capable of delivering 600VA power while complying with regulatory standards such as IEC 60601-1 and being listed to TUV, cTUV, and CE Mark. These transformers must also minimize leakage current, with strict limits in place (under 100µAmp) to prevent electrical shock hazards to patients. Additionally, the transformer must provide high reliability for continuous operation, ensuring consistent performance without overheating or degradation. To meet the needs of sensitive medical equipment, the transformers should also reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical noise, ensuring clean power delivery. The design must be compact and space-efficient to accommodate limited healthcare facility space, all while maintaining safety and performance. Furthermore, these transformers must be voltage-selectable to support various input and output voltage requirements (e.g., 100V, 120V, 230V, 240V) for different regions and devices, ensuring seamless compatibility across diverse medical environments.
