Key Considerations for Medical Device Design

Note: Opportunties for the development of Medical Magnetics and device evolution will require continual demanding physical characteristics and size, as well as more performance through design and design situations. These evolving characteristics will pose unique obstacles for successful magnetics solutions.

• FDA, UL, IEC (Agency Requirements)
