Revolutionising medical device design: the role of


advanced thermal solutions Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are increasingly seeking out sophisticated thermal solutions to improve the performance of medical devices. With over 2 million different medical devices across the global market, according to WHO, the design of these critical devices must be perfect. In this article, Andy Selvy, chief systems designer at industrial heating technology manufacturer Watlow, delves into the transition from traditional heaters to advanced, layered heater technologies in medical device design.


The critical role of thermal management in medical devices


Thermal management within medical devices, clinical diagnostics instruments and analytical instruments involves the sophisticated control of temperatures to prevent overheating and ensure devices operate within their optimal performance range. Proper thermal regulation is vital because even the slightest of deviations can lead to device failure, diminished treatment effectiveness, or serious risks to user safety.

Welcome to the October issue of Electronics for Engineers


T Show on 9th


his month, I had the pleasure of attending the Engineering Design October in the Coventry


Building Society Arena. This show played host to a number of companies exhibiting stands specialising in the areas of embedded, electronic and mechanical design. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition; it was wonderful to speak to many of you, our readers, and catch up on any new innovations that were on display at their stands. We look forward to attending this show next year!


In this, our October issue, we are


delving into several features through articles from a variety of companies. These features include Distribution, Contract Manufacturing, Switches, Displays and UIs, Interconnection, Power, Enclosures, Component Design and Automotive Electronics. As always, do feel free to get in contact with me for any interest in future issues or any feedback that you may have at ynolan@ datateam.co.uk.

CPS series is based on a pi- oneering steering and control architecture developed by the German power supply specialist CAMTEC over the last few years. The CPS series is designed to precisely meet the demand of challenging testing automation and high-end industrial lab power supply users. It supports production process planners, as well as energy and water infrastructure or UPS-system engineers. Finally, it plays its full strength wherever close to zero downtime of plants or infra- structure is mandatory. The CPS-i series is the fi rst original, highly precise, and robust industry 4.0-ready Lab Power Supply. It offers free scal- ability from 2000 W up to 105 kW power output, accompanied by completely fl exible up- and downscaling and service by the customer themselves.
