Weekly Webinar: Medical Device Electrical Safety Test – How to Improve your ISO Quality System [VIDEO]

Automating medical electrical safety testing gives you more control over your test process by capturing and serving up all of your test data electronically. Improve your ISO Quality system with our Captivate software. Captivate captures data automatically and ensures your electrical safety test records are legible, readily identifiable, and retrievable. With automation, less costly training is required because our system automatically loads the correct tests, performs all the switching, polarity changes, etc. The safety of your test operators is also increased by minimizing the number of times they have to touch (connect/disconnect) the device under test (DUT). Our test systems typically pay for themselves in less than one year because they significantly reduce testing time and labor cost per product.

This seminar will cover medical device IEC 60601-1 testing requirements including AC/DC hipot, ground bond, insulation resistance and leakage current. Electrical safety test equipment and how to automate testing with Sentinel Systems and CaptivATE automation software.

How to Use RF Impedance Measurements to Ensure the Quality of Miniaturized Power Inductors

Most high-frequency and miniaturized power inductors are metal molding-type inductors. The magnetic metal powder surfaces are usually treated with an oxide layer to reduce eddy current losses at high frequencies, enhancing the usable frequency range and reducing losses and temperature rising. However, users typically cannot determine the particle size of the magnetic material and the integrity of the oxide layer after molding and sintering through visual inspection alone.

Leveraging Certificate Management Tools for Comprehensive EVSE Plug & Charge (PnC) Testing

Chroma’s PowerPro 5 software, part of its comprehensive EV test system solution, features a Certificate Management Tool that allows users to load specific certificate files (*.p12, *.pem). Using designated OEM agreements and contract certificates, the software automatically performs public/private key encryption and decryption during the test to achieve the handshake and payment processes required for ISO 15118 PnC testing.
