Testing for the protection of electronic components in medical devices during drops
Protecting Your Medical Devices from Drop Damage The Importance of Testing for Electronic Components
In the medical device industry, ensuring the reliability and safety of products is paramount. With the increasing complexity of electronic components in modern medical devices, the risk of damage during transportation, storage, or handling has become a significant concern. This is where Testing for the protection of electronic components in medical devices during drops comes into play a specialized laboratory service offered by Eurolab that simulates real-world drop scenarios to assess the robustness of your products.
The Dangers of Electronic Component Damage
Electronic components are the backbone of modern medical devices. They perform critical functions, such as controlling temperature, monitoring vital signs, and administering medication. However, these components are highly susceptible to damage from drops, shocks, or vibrations. When electronic components fail, it can lead to equipment malfunction, data loss, or even patient harm.
In fact, a study by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) found that 70 of medical device failures are caused by mechanical stress, including drops and impacts. Moreover, a survey conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) revealed that more than half of medical device manufacturers experience at least one product failure due to drop damage each year.
