If you are a medical device engineer working to improve the longevity for implantable devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, insulin pumps, cochlear devices, or bladder stimulators, be sure to checkout our latest on-demand webinar – The Importance of High Reliability for Medical Implantable Devices.
In this webinar, we start by exploring the basics of capacitor functionality inside an implantable medical device. We then look at how the demand to increase capacitance in these devices in a safe way can be done using multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). We also explore some of the benefits and considerations of using high-reliability MLCCs as opposed to standard MLCCs in medical implantable devices. We wrap-up the webinar by walking through the specifications and requirements for performing high reliability testing of the capacitors used in these devices.
After watching this webinar, you will have an understanding of the following:
- How a capacitor functions in general and the importance of the role it plays in a circuit
- Why high reliability parts matter, and the cost of failure when high reliability parts are not used in an implantable device
- The benefits of using MLCCs in high-reliability applications such as medical implantables
- The necessity of high-reliability capacitor testing and the requirements for performing these tests on medical devices
