The Bond Between
Engineering and Life

EMC and safety tests of medical devices are more than a procedure. We guarantee patient and operator safety, accelerating your MDR (Medical Device Regulation) processes.

MDR Critical Control

Essential Performance Verified
Leakage Current (Patient) < 10 µA
Alarm Systems IEC 60601-1-8
Home Care Environment IEC 60601-1-11

Safety First.
People First.

Medical devices must perform the most precise measurements in noisy (high magnetic field) environments such as hospitals. A patient monitor next to an electrocautery device operating must not malfunction.

Consept specializes in **EN 60601-1-2 (EMC)** and **EN 60601-1 (Safety)** standard series. We ensure that your device not only complies with standards but also creates technical evidence compatible with the Risk Management File (ISO 14971).

Patient Safety

Verification of MOPP (Means of Patient Protection) isolation barriers.

Operator Safety

MOOP (Means of Operator Protection) and touch currents.

Case Study

Home Care Technology

Development process of a portable Ventilator (Respiratory Device).

ESD
Electrostatic Discharge

Challenge: Device Reset in Dry Air

The device was momentarily turning off and on when exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) in a home environment (especially when a person walking on a carpet in winter touches it). For a life support unit, this situation was in the "Unacceptable Risk" class.

Our Engineering Solution

  • Joint points (air gap/creepage) in the plastic body design were increased.
  • ESD protection diodes (TVS Diode) were added behind the keypad.
  • "Watchdog Timer" optimization was made to the internal processor.

Result: The device continued to operate uninterruptedly (Criterion A) despite ±15kV air discharge.

Medical Sector
