From power, connector type to safe certificate and custom choice, which help you quickly learn about the desktop medical power supply advantage, application, and choose a guide. Whether clinical equipment, laboratory instruments, or home healthcare devices, these common problems are for your reference.

Choose a suitable desktop power supply, learn about your medical device's actual requirements, not just voltage and power parameters.

The following factors you need to consider:
Output voltage and power range
Low leakage limit
Requirement safe compliance level
Connector compatibility and mechanical adaptability
Various certifications required by the target market

If your medical device has a special requirement, we support custom power supply solutions that are safe and highly efficient, which helps avoid redesign trouble.

The most important criterion among them is IEC 60601-1, which clearly stipulates medical devices' electrical safety requirements. In addition, you need to IEC 60601-1-2, UL/CE certificate, and 2xMOPP that is able to ensure this desktop power supply is safe in clinical, laboratory, or home healthcare settings.

The medical-grade power supply is specially designed and aimed at protecting the user and patient from electrical safety risks. Its safe features include extremely low leakage current, reinforced insulation design, and over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection features.

Only this desktop power supply meets the IEC 60601-1 medical safe standard, if deemed to be a safe and reliable product. Even if an applicance in a patient's direct contact medical device, it is safe.

It is not a must. The modern desktop medical power supply needs to come true some balance of the following: power output ability, heat dissipation performance, and compact, small shell size.

For the low power range power supply, usually small in volume and easy to place on the office table. Other than the high power supply, its shell size will be big, and in order to make sure safe and stable heat dissipation. If you have strict requirements for space, we can discuss shortening the volume of the power supply.

The class 2 power supply has limited output power and current, which reduces contact electric or fire risk.

In medical device applications, it is commonly used for low-power devices and non-contact patient devices. Therefore, just according to class 2, these kinds, not instead of, like IEC 60601-1 medical safe standard. For medical devices, the safety requirements are usually stricter, and a separate assessment is conducted.
