Medical device power, data, and control signals are sent to and from medical devices via medical connection systems (cables and connectors). They can be found in a variety of clinical settings, including those involving surgical tools like hand tools, therapeutic equipment, and diagnostic tools like EEG, ECG, EKG, and EMG machines. They are frequently found on transportable medical equipment.
Medical connections must endure a variety of medical sterilization procedures, such as chemical, gamma, autoclave, Sterrad, EtO, and autoclave. Additionally, a medical connection system needs to be protected from contaminants like dust, water, and other risks.
A high mating cycle, an IP rating of up to IP68, strong EMI/RFI performance, and rapid connect/disconnect capabilities are additional criteria. There can be particular specifications for some medical uses.
