Advanced electrophysiology and ablation equipment integrates a complex array of sensors, cameras, catheter tubes, connectors and coils. Collectively, these sophisticated components need to smoothly navigate tight and circuitous anatomical spaces—delivering extremely precise images or electrical signals that help identify, visualize and treat atypical cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF).
Because this equipment operates on and within the human body, today’s design engineers need to keep safety, accuracy and dependability top-of-mind. That means manufacturers committed to obtaining optimized elements, coordinating efficient production and achieving successful commercialization need to constantly address shifting regulatory guidelines and unpredictable supply chain hurdles.
At the same time, today’s leading innovators are acutely aware that providers and patients depend on these solutions to accurately and reliably identify critical health concerns. Key design characteristics like consistent catheter motion, dependable visual feedback and effective energy delivery are especially crucial to keep on their product development radar. Costs to create medical technology products are significantly higher than the investments needed for other types of devices, so the stakes are incredibly high.
This is why leading organizations depend on Phillips-Medisize, a Molex company, for knowledgeable support. Customers leverage proven expertise with specialized materials like fused silica, process technologies like optical fiber end-preparation and precision injection molding, rugged human-machine interface solutions, miniaturization and more. Next-generation electrophysiology solutions can benefit from proven design proficiency, full-scale manufacturing capabilities and quality systems approved by regulatory bodies in the US, Europe, Japan and China. Robust quality management systems, process-driven culture, unified program management processes and strong emphasis on risk mitigation can help boost customer confidence, protect brand reputation, accelerate regulatory approvals, and speed time to market.
