EMI shielding and thermal interface materials for patient monitoring
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems with patient monitoring medical devices can cause the device to malfunction if the levels of EM energy exceed the resistance to which the device was designed and tested. EMI problems with patient monitoring devices can be exceedingly complex, not only from a technical standpoint, but also from the view of patient safety and public health.
As patient monitoring devices become increasingly portable with low power electronics, it is evermore critical that these devices be protected from a variety of potentially harmful EMI environments. Parker Chomerics' EMI shielding products can be found on a variety of patient monitoring devices from blood, sweat, and glucose monitoring, to display housings in critical neonatal multi-parameter monitors.
Parker Chomerics combines EMI shielding, thermal management and sensor pads to produce "electronics ready" integrated solutions for OEMs providng patient monitoring devices to the marketplace today.

Tackling your most important issues
Rapid and continual advances in both electronics and medical technology have seen the quantity, complexity and diversity of equipment for patient care applications increase significantly in recent years.
Medical electronic devices have also become smaller and more portable – often battery powered - and incorporate advanced digital electronics alongside analog circuitry to deliver comprehensive functionality.
Human-machine interfaces have also become more interactive and increase the options that hospitals and doctors’ offices have to collect, transmit, and monitor and analyze patient data. All of these factors have contributed to a major rise in shielding (EMI / RFI) and thermal management challenges faced by engineers as well as a need for both shielded and non-shielded optical windows for equipment displays.
