Applications

Samtec offers a wide variety of solutions for any type of medical application.
 

Surgical

Equipment found in the surgical theater, from lighting and tables to monitors and robotics, requires interconnects with high reliability and the ability to withstand harsh environments. Samtec offers a variety of rugged and highperformance solutions ideal for keeping the operating room safe and efficient for both patients and healthcare workers.
 

Imaging

Medical imaging requires high data rate solutions to quickly transmit large volumes of imagery from the device's detector to the processing unit. Samtec offers high-speed and non-magnetic interconnects for quality imaging to help diagnose, monitor and treat medical conditions.

 

Point of care & monitoring

From documentation to testing and monitoring, POC equipment streamlines the process for medical products and services to be administered to the patient without delays. Samtec offers high-speed ultra micro and RF solutions with high-reliability ideal for the portability and accuracy of POC devices to deliver data in real time.

 

Therapeutics

Today's therapeutics and rehabilitation include new technology, from robotics to implantables, that require reliable solutions to assist with treating and healing disease, pain and injuries. Samtec offers rugged and ultra micro interconnects to deliver the high reliability needed to ensure patients are receiving consistent and effective therapy.
 

Medical equipment

Medical equipment covers a wide range from monitors to robots but, similar solutions are required for all – high performance, reliable, rugged, lightweight and small form factors. Medical equipment is becoming more sophisticated and Samtec's high-speed, high-power and RF interconnects are ideal in applications where consistent performance is critical.

 

Testing and certifications

Samtec's products are tested to or beyond industry standards to ensure quality and performance in medical applications.

Serve enviroment testing

Severe Environment Testing is a Samtec initiative to test our products beyond typical industry standards and specifications, many set forth by common requirements for rugged industries. Several of our products undergo additional testing to ensure they are more than suitable for industrial, military, automotive, space, and other extreme applications.

  • VITA™ 47.1 Module Insertions
  • VITA™ 47.3 Humidity
  • VITA™ 47.1 Operating Shock Class OS2
  • VITA™ 47.1 Vibration Class VS3
  • Exceeds VITA™ 47.1 Temperature Cycling Class C4
  • Exceeds VITA™ 47.1 Non-Operating Temperature Class C4
  • VITA™ 47.1 Electrostatic Discharge Resistance
  • Exceeds VITA™ 47.1 Altitude for DWV

Samtec's SET products are approved for NASA Class D missions that require high-reliability, quick-turn and cost-effective solutions for LEO satellites, SmallSats, CubeSats and other space exploration applications.
