How to Ground Electronics

Increased functionality, smaller case sizes and life critical

Rapid and continual advances in both electronics and medical technology have seen the quantity, complexity and diversity of equipment for patient care applications increase significantly in recent years.

Medical electronic devices have also become smaller and more portable – often battery powered - and incorporate advanced digital electronics alongside analog circuitry to deliver comprehensive functionality. 

Human-machine interfaces have also become more interactive and increase the options that hospitals and doctors’ offices have to collect, transmit, and monitor and analyze patient data. All of these factors have contributed to a major rise in shielding (EMI / RFI) and thermal management challenges faced by engineers as well as a need for both shielded and non-shielded optical windows for equipment displays.

Parker Chomerics is a total solution company built on core competencies in material science and process technology serving as the basis for:

  • Product development
  • Custom engineered solutions
  • Complete electronics housing solutions
  • Fully integrated optical display assemblies

Protecting Robotic Surgery Systems from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Robotic surgery system manufacturers and engineers consider EMI shielding when designing their systems. EMI shielding prevents equipment failure and keeps manufacturers compliant with federal regulations. Understanding EMI and taking steps to prevent it is paramount, as the resultant issues could cause robots to behave unexpectedly, such as requiring frequent restarts, showing a limited radio frequency range, moving unintentionally or affecting other nearby robots.

From Fitness Trackers to Medical Monitors: Wearable Health Technologies Are Getting Smaller

"When we're working with engineers these days, it's all about how can you get the smallest amount of material to solve my problem, or how can you make a material that multi-functions – it can pull heat out, but it also can absorb radiation or can be used as a capacitor, for example."
