BEAR Power Supplies for medical devices

Ultra-low leakage current for Type CF medical equipment
CE marked, TUV tested for safety in medical devices

BEAR excels at innovative, high-reliability custom power supplies for medical instruments. We design and produce medical power supplies used in diagnostic instruments and patient care devices, from primary care physician offices to operating rooms.

Our innovative isolation techniques yield leakage current of less than 5μA, exceeding the requirements for Type CF-rated medical devices. We excel at customization, even for low volumes: non-standard output voltages, unusual form factors to fit precise size and configuration constraints, and compact sizes for portable medical devices. We have the manufacturing flexibility and capacity to support both low- and high-volume production.

We are able to comply with medical device manufacturers' Quality Processes, supporting requirements such as Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) and lot traceability of components. All BEAR power supplies are tested to medical equipment safety and EMC standards including UL, IEC, CAN/CSA and EN. 

Features of BEAR power supplies for medical devices

• Low leakage currents - as low as 5μA for custom power supplies
• Very quiet outputs
• Low conducted and radiated noise for sensitive medical instruments
• Low turn-on inrush current for fewer nuisance fuse failures and less stress on the converter for longer power supply life 
• High reliability in critical life-saving instruments
• Compact size for smaller, more portable systems
• High efficiency - no need for a cooling fan - resulting in smaller, quieter systems
• Remote on/off (some models) allows you to design a front panel power button without routing line voltages to the front of the equipment
• Operation over international voltage ranges
• Medical certification testing
