APD Medical Power Supplies Ensure Reliable Power for Critical Medical Equipment

News coverage: EEtimes US

In the 21st century, in this fast-changing era, on the one hand, although the development of science & technology is changing with each passing day, various electronic devices have brought far more convenience to human life than ever before, but the environment we live in is still full of various unstable factors may affect the safety and stability of our working and life fields at any time in unpredictable circumstances.

When various infrastructure accidents occur, the power system is often the first place to fail. In fact, even in the most industrialized countries, it is still impossible to completely prevent the damage to power facilities caused by unexpected factors such as natural hazards, and other conditions that lead to unstable power supply. Especially in medical-related fields, the stability and safety of power supply should be carefully reviewed. The importance of stable operation of power equipment is even greater than that of breakthrough technology. After all, any accident may affect patients and cause irreparable harm to life.

These problems highlight the importance of the roles played by various components in the power supply equipment. As the core components of medical equipment, medical power supplies are very important in terms of safety performance, service life, failure rate levels, and durability. In the following paragraphs, we will share the medical power modules and related technologies provided by Asia Power Devices(APD), the senior power module manufacturer as a high-quality case in industry.

Details of APD’s 3W~500W medical power supplies, and their durable and high standard product designs.

As one of the few medical power device manufacturers owns the “ISO 13485 Medical Devices – Quality Management Systems certification” manufacturing base since 2015, Taiwan’s leading power supply manufacturer APD has spared no effort in the research and development of products. APD has invested heavily in innovative R&D in the medical power field. APD’s China plant was not only designated a “National High-tech Enterprise” for many consecutive years, it even won the honor of “Smart Manufacturing Maturity Level (Level II)” in 2022. It received praise from its customers again and again because of its solid product quality and its R&D and manufacturing capabilities.

Medical equipment has become increasingly energy-conserving, environmentally friendly and compact in recent years. In addition to product safety and performance, APD has also used high efficiency, low power consumption, low noise, miniaturizing and portability as the focus of their product development and designs. The results can be seen in APD’s highly reliable 3W~500W medical power supplies.

The long-term stable power supply capacity is a crucial evaluation factor for medical products. For instance, equipment like ventilators and oxygen concentrators need a long-term steady supply of highly concentrated oxygen.

“APD medical power supply has high electrostatic susceptibility. Numerous protective mechanisms, including overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and over-temperature protection, etc., are provided. The casing is made of UL94V0 fireproof materials, exceeding the general medical safety standards, making it extra safe.”The common accidents like fire hazards are a crucial concern where electrical equipment is in use. That’s why it is essential to use stable, safe power supply units that meet the highest safety standards. APD’s highly reliable 3W~500W medical power supplies meet the requirements of IEC60601, the global medical safety standard. The units have an exceedingly low leakage current, good thermal performance, and a high level of electromagnetic compatibility. As APD Product Manager Arch Wang describes: “APD medical power supplies also feature high static resistance, over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protections. Therefore, they can better ensure the safety of the medical equipment and patients.”

In addition, the medical supplies can support up to 300% peak power load, ensuring a safe and stable power delivery when peak load is asked from the medical equipment. Besides, their low-noise operation feature can provide patients with a quiet recovery environment.

All of APD’s reliable medical power supplies comply with IEC60601 global medical product safety regulations. More importantly, APD’s R&D team can work closely with our customers’ R&D teams from early research to final development in order to better integrate with the customers’ products ahead of time. In fact, for years, APD medical power supply units have been recognized by customers for their superior and stable quality. They are widely used in numerous medical devices such as ventilators, oxygen concentrators, humidifiers, medical displays, nebulizers, blood pressure monitors, infusion pumps, ultrasonic equipment, endoscopes, electrical medical beds, monitoring equipment, IVD devices, etc.The high safety regulation standards and high collaborative R&D design capabilities of APD won the praise of its customers in various medical fields.

For more information of APD 3W~500W medical power supply, and their ever-evolving technological innovations improve and optimize its production technologies and processes. you can directly contact with APD via their official website.

Furthermore, APD also just deeply displayed their related solutions in medical field at APD’s booth at COMPAMED 2022, the world’s leading platform for state-of-the-art medical technology from Nov 14 to 17 in Düsseldorf, Germany. As the features that we highlight in the paragraphs above, the high safety regulation standards and high collaborative R&D design capabilities of APD won the praise from the local attendees from various medical fields. At the same time, APD’s 3W~500W highly reliable medical power supplies’ applied samples for diversity medical equipment, which widely attracted many major medical equipment manufacturers on site for interactive consultations during this exhibition period.

More than quality: APD’s production capacity is also actively improving

APD continued to surpass the industry with an annual increase of 15% in revenue growth using its profound R&D capabilities and stable high-performance power products. Its ever-evolving technological innovations improve and optimize its production technologies and processes. APD is also actively expanding its production capacity recently. Its new plant at Pingshan, Shenzhen was completed and launched in September. This latest production base after the ones in Taipei, Taiwan and Shenzhen, China is expected to increase the production capacity significantly, using high-performance production services to meet the needs of customers in various fields around the world.
