What Standards and Regulations utilize for Medical PCB Assembly?

The use of Printed Circuit Boards has been ubiquitous across industries. Like with other industries, PCBs are also finding extensive application in the medical industry as more and more medical research and treatment methods become technology driven. With lives of patients at stake, it goes without saying that these devices are mission critical and that stringent guidelines need to be followed when it comes to Medical PCB Prototype. Clearly there cannot be an instance where there is a malfunctioning instrument when a critical, lifesaving medical procedure is being carried out. Little surprise then that these instruments need to be manufactured to some very exacting standards.

There need to be strong protocols related to PCB design, fabrication, PCB assembly, testing and inspection. Even though medical devices are varied, and their use is widespread across functions and there need to be specific standards and regulations related to their use, here is a quick overview of the broad Medical PCB Assembly Standards and Regulations:

IPC Standards

Presently called Association Connecting Electronics, its acronym comes from its former name i.e. Institute for Printed Circuits. It is an industry body that has issued a series of standards for circuit boards. These include:

• The certification requires that all manufacturing phases are clearly documented so that products are built as per regulation
• It also ensures that processes are in place for risk management and design control.
• Manufacturers are also required to develop an audit system to track their own performance as far as the process goes.

With these standards in place, it is an assurance to regulators as well as to clients that the manufacturer is fully committed to quality and that it has the necessary systems as well as processes in place.

This of course, means that in order that your medical requirement meets the necessary regulatory standards, you need to partner with a contract manufacturer who works with these standards.
