The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly expanded the role of portable medical devices in the healthcare industry. As greater emphasis has been placed on health monitoring and home-based care, demand for portable medical equipment has increased. This has directly contributed to growing demand for reliable batteries for medical devices. Medical devices and their batteries must comply with strict safety and risk management requirements, including those set out in standards such as ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1. These requirements incorporate a risk management model and the concept of essential performance, helping manufacturers assess how a device may affect patient and user safety. For this reason, certification requirements should be clearly defined from the earliest stages of medical battery design. How does EMBS develop safe batteries for medical devices? Safety is always a key consideration in battery design, but medical and healthcare applications require an even higher level of protection. We understand these requirements and carefully consider them throughout the design, testing, and manufacturing process. Our team develops battery solutions according to the intended medical application, operating conditions, risk profile, and required certification standards. Which battery chemistries can be used in medical equipment? When the required safety level cannot be achieved using NMC or NCA lithium-ion technology, we can consider alternative solutions. We have experience with Ni-MH batteries and other cell chemistries, enabling us to offer a wide range of solutions for different medical devices and safety requirements. The selection of battery chemistry depends on factors such as energy density, operating temperature, discharge characteristics, expected service life, and the required level of safety. How does EMBS support medical battery certification? Certification requirements are particularly important in the healthcare sector. They are generally much stricter than those applied to consumer devices such as household appliances. We have a dedicated team responsible for preparing comprehensive DVP&R documentation, which includes a Design Validation Plan and Report. This process helps verify that the battery design meets the required technical, safety, and certification criteria. Why is change control important in medical battery production? We document every relevant change made to the battery product, its components, and the production process. This controlled approach helps ensure that modifications do not negatively affect product safety, performance, compatibility, or compliance with certification requirements. Detailed documentation and change management also support traceability throughout the battery lifecycle, from initial design and validation to manufacturing and future product updates. What standard is essential for medical device batteries to comply with? Medical device batteries must comply with the risk management model and basic performance concept outlined in standards such as ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, which measures the impact of the device on user and patient safety. Why has the demand for portable medical device batteries increased? The demand has increased due to the expanded role of portable medical devices following the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing emphasis on health management in the home setting. What is a DVP&R and why is it important for medical batteries? A DVP&R (Design Validation Plan & Report) is a complex document created by a dedicated team to rigorously test and validate the battery design, ensuring full compliance with all stringent certification requirements for the healthcare market.
