Introduction

In the operating suite, doctor’s office or at the bedside, medical

equipment resides in unique environments. Diagnostic, treatment

and monitoring devices have critical power and signal requirements.

Components must be durable, rugged and always reliable.

Tyco Electronics understands the vital connections that

dependably deliver images, data and power. From antennas to

Z-series filters, Tyco Electronics components…batteries, cable,

connectors, contacts, displays, filters, motors, heat shrink, labels,

molded parts, relays, passive components, printed circuits, sensors,

tubing, touchmonitors, wireless devices…assemblies and capabilities

provide the innovative electronics that medical device OEMs

require for their mission critical products.

And if the solution doesn’t already exist, Tyco Electronics

engineers take on the challenge—providing parts, packaging and

program solutions for the next generation of medical equipment.

On ultrasound transducers, videoarthroscopes, surgical instruments andpatient monitors, PRECISIONINTERCONNECT cable assemblies arebuilt on a history of solutions for hand-heldrequirements.

Patient ComfortThe pull of a cable against the skin, a tugon the bed clothes…caregivers know howlittle things can be uncomfortable forpatients. Low profile, custom moldedcomponents; lightweight, flexible cables;and soft-touch and low friction surfacesadd value understood by the end-user.

ErgonomicsThe ideal hand-held medical device is light,comfortable and easy to handle. Size, weightand flexibility are part of a well designedcable assembly. Low profile, intuitive andsecure connections are essential.

Cable assemblies that

connect hand-held devices

to diagnostic, surgical or

monitoring equipment must

supply unique electrical,

mechanical and environmental

qualities.

Connect physicians to patients with cable

Steri l izat ionWhether destined for use in the O.R., treatmentroom or clinic, cable assemblies must be suitablefor appropriate disinfection and/or sterilization procedures. Depending on the application, materialsand seals are selected to be compatible with EtO,autoclave, low temperature cycles (such as STERISand STERRAD), CIDEX soaks or IPA wipe down.

Durabi l i tyNicked by scalpels…rolled over by gurneys…twistedand torqued…cable assemblies in the hospital orclinic must be resilient and reliable. Tough, yet flexible cable jackets, molded components andconnector hardware are designed to withstand thisdemanding environment.

Electr ical requirementsData for critical care decisions cannot becompromised. Designing for the application, TycoElectronics engineers understand high noise environments, RFI/EMI compliance, high voltagedevices, capacitance/impedance consistency andtight tolerances on electrical characteristics.

EconomicsIn the world of medical devices, single-use and limited-use components need to be as thoughtfullydesigned and manufactured as reusable products.With proper design, material selection andmanufacturing around the globe, disposable andlimited reuse assemblies are fully engineered andefficiently manufactured.

Engineered for medical equipment…Tyco Electronics connectors designed for medicalapplications provide the densities, durability andoptions desired by equipment designers andequipment users.

Plastic or metal round connectors areavailable in a variety of shell sizes, pin counts and configurations—including contacts for combinedpower and signal applications. Keying, polarization,sealing capability and molded strain reliefs are features selectable within specific families. Somefamilies are compatible with existing interfaces.Mating receptacles suitable for panel mount areavailable for most families. Some connectors are terminated to cable and furnished as a completeassembly.

The power, data and signal connection…It all begins with cable from Tyco Electronics brandslike MADISON, PRECISION INTERCONNECT andRAYCHEM. A wide range of cables move scanners,video surgeries, power scalpels and transmit vitalsigns on imaging, treatment and monitoring equipment.

MADISON CABLE composite cables providepower and control to MRI, x-ray and other imagingequipment. Combinations of coaxes, singles andtwisted pairs are cabled to suit a variety ofnon-invasive medical applications including imaging,monitoring and power distribution.

Flexible yet rugged, lightweight and flameretardant RAYCHEM SPEC 44 and SPEC 55 cablesare suited to the challenging environments ofmedical equipment. Both products are also availableas multi-conductor, shielded, jacketed cables.

Some applications require very small cables.Intracoronary and intravascular imaging devicespresent the ultimate in micro-packaging challenges. PRECISION INTERCONNECT cables use signalconductors as small as 50 AWG in insulated singles,coaxes or twisted pairs. Other PRECISIONINTERCONNECT cables include multiconductorcoaxial, composities and hybrids for imaging, surgical and monitoring devices.
