‘Medical Instrumentation’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release C2M implements Aegis manufacturing software from Aegis, which we summarised at the time by saying "The implementation of Aegis Manufacturing Operations software has allowed Concept 2 Market (C2M) to improve efficiency and quality by streamlining and controlling process planning, among other tasks. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Mini capacitors suit medical electronics equipment from AVX: "AVX has expanded its Turbocap switch mode power supply capacitor series to include miniature versions for applications such as DC/DC converters, hybrid vehicles, power supplies and more.".
 
In May 2011, we covered the news from TE Connectivity - take a look at Power line filters comply with medical standards which says: "TE Connectivity has introduced the Corcom HZ series of power line filters for medical applications such as ultrasound, patient monitoring, and surgical, therapeutic and interventional procedures.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Analog Devices, ICs target industrial and communications systems, as well as Low Power PIC MCUs simplify power-supply design from Microchip Technology, and Interface technology fits wireless infrastructure from NXP Semiconductors.
