Medical electronics has become the downturn in semiconductor new luminescent spot, seems to bring a remedy for IC industry, portable, mobile, wireless, etc have the technology and application of rage in new market with renewed vigor. Many semiconductor manufacturers in several years ago has predicted that the huge potential market and began to develop the market and develop. Due to the medical electronics market brings broad space, in addition to the field of traditional companies continue to maintain and expand their profits, but also cultivate a group of new market participants.

Enter 2008, more and more good news in medical electronics field. Recently, Germany, Australia, respectively in children clear medical and healthcare domain investment. But China and Mexico in the development of such populous in 2008 will also continue to their medical reform is remarkable. The government will increase the investment level of whole society needs of medical electronics products.

The latest development of medical electronic equipment

In the field of electronic equipment, medical technology is presented to portability and start the development trend of the network. Many countries in the world stage entering aging population, the aging of the population will bring a series of alzheimer's disease, these diseases to monitor the daily treatment, often impossible in normal hospital, which has a portable electronic devices, medical development trend of miniaturization. Can carry blood glucose meter and in family or small clubs in Connecticut hospital ventilator, ecg monitoring instrument will have greater market demand.

The network popularization and further into medical electronic fields is also, through the wire or wireless technology, doctors can remote access the data; patients, Digital network medical test equipment make patients don't carry a large number of testing data about in the hospital medical even over the longest distance between the different hospitals and save the medical expenses and repeated testing time, While the medical equipment and network system also make long-distance medical into reality, the body in some underdeveloped areas of critically ill patients may have won high level through remote medical treatment of doctors and regain a new life. In China, due to the high quality of medical resources, especially the lack of medical resources and regional distribution imbalance caused widely reviled by seeing the "problem", medical equipment, network of these benefits to solve this problem has very realistic significance.

The requirements and development trend of change

Due to the intrinsic medical electronic equipment characteristics and the latest trends mentioned above, the requirements for medical electronics components and the corresponding components suppliers also should adapt to the characteristics and requirements.

Due to the medical and consumer electronic equipment directly related to the health and safety of life, so for medical electronics field, product quality and reliability is important. As the fairchild company technology and application support center, vice President Mr. WangRuiXing region to describe as: "if the phone calls during the fair, locked; but if blood glucose monitoring instrument error of insulin readings, the question is too serious." In addition, medical electronic equipment design will often involved in multiple disciplines, and involves personal safety, the design cycle is more general electronic products.

Thus, the reliability of the quality of the general high requirements and longer design cycle is all medical electronic equipment from the other electronic equipments of common characteristics. For product quality and reliability requirements, the asia-pacific marketing director spirit thought, "said Mr ZhengXin South American FDA certificate in such requirements, even in medical equipment manufacturers and suppliers of components, and through the relevant certification guarantees product traceability and prevent gray market with medical electronics components. Therefore components suppliers have qualified and perfect quality assurance system is very important." Designed for a long period in selecting components should be carefully considered the product life cycle of the problem and potential suppliers of historical situation, lest appear product design into mass-production encountered in the production of risks. Components, ZhengXin south, "says Mr Manufacturers in components according to two principles: when the choice is the mainstream of marketing plan; 2 it is easy to replace the scheme and supplier. The mainstream in the continuous supply more protection, at the same time as far as possible in the design of the device, using standard for future supply problems encountered during shut-down etc can quickly find alternative." The department of health products Microchip SteveKennelly senior manager Mr. Also think have long term reliable supply ability to medical electronics manufacturers are important components of the supplier. He said: "the stability of a Microchip besides is high quality, long and storage of MCU simulator, the Microchip products supplier in China are eleven technical support center and a large number of distributors partner."
