Medical Industries Solutions

Here at Ideal Power, we understand the importance of power supply for medical applications. In order to achieve the safety of medical electronics, IEC/UL/EN 60601-1 prescribes three categories for electronic medical devices and medical power supplies, known as applied parts classification.

You can be assured that all our products comply with the medical application standards ISO 13485 and ISO 14971.

We deal with class 2 medical power supply, external medical power supply, and medical grade ATX power supply. In doing so, we focus on providing power supplies for medical applications that are optimised for the best industry-lead performance. We ensure that all products meet global safety standards and also deliver products at a competitive price.

MEDICAL POWER SUPPLY UNITS AND PARTS CLASSIFICATIONS

Any piece of electronic medical equipment that interacts with a patient is called an applied part. These applied parts are classified under one of the following categories: ‘Type B’, body type, ‘Type BF’, body floating type, ‘Type CF’, and cardiac floating type. Each type has varying input to output isolation voltages, input to ground isolations, and output to ground isolations. Similarly, there is variation in the earth leakage current, enclosure leakage current, and patient leakage current.

Each applied part is manufactured for a designated purpose and such a vital sector means that they need to be accurately selected and used.

Applied Part Classification	Input to Output Isolation Voltage	Input to Ground Isolation	Output to ground Isolation	End product examples
Type B PSU	4000V AC	1500V AC	500V AC	These are grounded devices that work within 6 feet of the patient vicinity and do not require electrical contact; examples include lighting, hospital beds, automated medication dispensers and X-ray machines or scanners.
Type BF PSU	4000V AC	1500V AC	1500V AC	These devices have conductive contact with the patient; examples include incubators, blood pressure monitors and electrosurgical devices.
Type CF PSU	4000V AC	1500V AC	1500V AC	This is the most stringent classification and refers to devices that heart; examples include intracardiac ECG electrodes, defibrillators, or external pacemakers.

Leakage Current	Type B		Type BF		Type CF
Leakage Current	NC	SFC	NC	SFC	NC	SFC
Earth Leakage Current	500µA	1µA	500µA	1µA	500µA	1µA
