ECS Inc. Low-Aging Crystals Are Essential Timing Solutions For Medical Technology - ECS Inc. Low-Aging Crystals For Medical Technology

Find Out How “B Series” Crystals Can Make the Difference For Your MedTech Applications

Consider an imaging system that does not accurately detect disease, a heart monitor that cannot communicate data to healthcare professionals, or a wearable that is incapable of tracking your daily steps or activity levels.

Medical practitioners and their patients depend upon these products to help patients recover, heal and thrive; but if a device malfunctions when it is most needed, it is essentially useless.

At the circuit level, frequency control solutions are responsible for enabling medical technology’s key functions, including device-to-device communication, sensing and monitoring, automation and much more.

Therefore, it is essential that engineers in the design community select the best-performing clocks. In the medtech industry, these engineers often choose “B Series” timing solutions for wearable technology and medical equipment.

What Are “B Series” Timing Solutions?

When a crystal is used as a frequency-generating material, the quartz structure begins to relax, which causes its frequency to drift. This drift in frequency stability may last for a few years. To compensate for this drift, manufacturers ensure that their crystals undergo an “aging” process. This ensures that crystals provide exceptional stability as soon as engineers need them.

ECS Inc.’s “B Series” crystals are pre-aged and pre-stressed for use in electronics that demand the highest level of frequency stability, including:

Remotely deployed devices.
Applications that depend on precision to enhance user experience.
Equipment that captures or transmits real-time data.
Emergency communications.

Why Frequency Stability Matters For the Medical Technology Market

It is easy to identify medical technology that fits these categories. Today’s technology promises highly effective solutions for healthcare professionals and their patients. For example, complex imaging devices, such as an MRI or CAT scan, depend on frequency stability to produce high resolution imagery so medical professionals can assess and treat illness and injury.”

Electronic medical devices are no longer limited to the confines of a healthcare facility. Healthcare professionals can deliver care right to a patients’ door to ensure their needs are met in the comfort of their homes. A patient can receive a significant amount of care that may have been exclusive to a hospital setting in the past. Devices used for monitoring equipment and telehealth consultations require clean, stable frequencies to perform their vital roles.

Medtech has also carved out a market for individual consumers, as wearables, personal medical alert devices and other in-store products for health-related purposes become more and more widespread. Wearable technology is only as effective as its monitoring capabilities and its ability to provide fast analytics to a user’s smartphone or their healthcare provider’s dashboard.
