When it comes to choosing the right components to power a device, the options can seem endless. With so many choices on the market, selecting the right ones – especially when it comes to something as significant as medical devices and equipment – leaves little room for error. Whether the end product is a surgical robot, a patient monitor, or an insulin pump, choosing the right partner to source components is critical, and there are certain factors that design engineers should take into consideration as they begin the process.
Product life cycle
From environmental performance to the component footprint, product life cycle is key when it comes to determining the components to fit a specific need. Increases in speed, reductions in feature size, and changes in application requirements for user friendliness are happening fast, with many of the components that make up a product having a life cycle significantly shorter than the product itself.
