Supporting The Medical Electronics That Help Us Heal

The medical technology industry has technically existed as long as human beings have been invested in their health. We collectively wince at some of our approaches, cures and devices of the past, while remaining thankful that this industry continues to find new and ingenious ways to help us get well.

In recent years, the advent of the internet, robotics, precise engineering practices and a continually growing sense of medical ethics has created astounding new tools for health care.

We have ushered in the most useful, efficient and powerful age of medical technology. Today, we marvel at so many innovative tools in this field that safeguard and monitor our health, including:

  • Ultrasound.
  • CT scanners.
  • MRI.
  • X-ray.
  • Hygiene devices.
  • CPAP.
  • Defibrillators.
  • IPL therapy devices.
  • Remote monitoring devices.
  • Ventilation machines.
  • And much more.

Of course, this technology requires human intervention, expertise and monitoring to work as intended. We depend on the compassionate hearts of our healthcare professionals to leverage these tools for good. Technology is nothing without a human touch.

However, there is another heartbeat to depend on, too, and it exists within these devices’ electronics: frequency from crystal oscillator timing solutions.

What Timing Solutions For Medical Electronics Provide

Frequency-based solutions from ECS Inc., like SMD crystals, crystal tuning forks, quartz crystal oscillators and more provide the high-quality frequency that medical technology requires to operate at its highest level and deliver its healthcare benefits.

These timing characteristics are essential for the medtech industry:

  • Reliability: Medical devices require quality, dependable frequency signals for communication, connectivity, monitoring and control.
  • Operation for a range of environments: Electronics used in medical devices may be positioned within machinery that creates significant heat. Additionally, wearable devices for wellness or health monitoring purposes are often worn outdoors.
  • Reliability for diagnoses: The purpose of medical equipment is to gain information that will lead to a highly accurate diagnosis from a professional. The frequencies used in medical imaging products must avoid signal noise and variations that lead to errors.
  • Low power consumption and reduced form factor: Wearables and health monitoring devices aren’t only worn in less-than-ideal temperatures. They also need to operate on a battery supply in a small package. This is why wearable technologies require timing solutions that are lightweight and reliable, even without a connected power supply.

No matter the use case, these characteristics ensure that medical devices deliver on their promise: to improve our quality of life, allow healing to occur and even prevent the loss of life, through a partnership between the professional expertise of medical staff and today’s technologies.
