ECN -- When it comes to meeting today’s requirements for medical devices and instrumentation, component manufacturers are not only faced with the customer project challenges, but also meeting FDA regulations. In the area of switch components, current trends continue to call for further miniaturization to meet the needs of space-saving applications like hearing aids. The switch design must conform to cleanliness, reliability and extended life for applications such as glucose meters and transdermal patches. The versatility of switch designs is paramount in order to be considered for use by top medical device and equipment suppliers, particularly in the rapidly growing market of personal and portable medical devices.
