Preparing for Medical Electronics RoHS Compliance
May 20, 2013 2:33 pm | by George Karalias, Director of Marketing & Communications, Rochester Electronics | Rochester Electronics | Blogs | CommentsNext July, certain medical electronics will fall under the scope of RoHS—the European Union’s Restriction on Hazardous Substances. In terms of the electronics industry, that is now a tight deadline for manufacturers. Medical devices that have so far been exempt from RoHS fall into scope under the RoHS Recast (RoHS 2) beginning in July 2014.

Remove the ‘Frankenstein Effect’ from Medical Devices
May 16, 2013 12:19 pm | by Bob Frostholm, Director of Sales and Marketing, JVD Inc. | Blogs | CommentsNowhere is the concept of developing a system with ‘point-products’ more hazardous than in medical devices. It is here that the performance of every aspect of the system is critical to the long-term behavior of the end product. Interoperability between components takes on a whole new meaning in the context of critical care. Like Shelley’s monster, multiple devices from multiple suppliers will perform differently under identical conditions.

April 25, 2013 4:41 pm | by George Karalias, Director of Marketing & Communications, Rochester Electronics | Rochester Electronics | Blogs | CommentsEngineers and buyers in the medical device manufacturing industry should note the following date: July 22, 2014. That is the day medical electronics must comply with the EU’s Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulation. Medical devices have so far been exempt from RoHS, which requires the elimination of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other substances from electronics.
