Manufacturing Precision That Safeguards Patients

Electronics Manufacturing for the Medical Industry demands deep manufacturing experience and the discipline required by ISO 13485, IPC Class 3, and FDA-aligned standards. Unlike commercial electronics, medical systems must maintain precise performance under all conditions: heat, vibration, sterilization, and continuous use. A minor PCB assembly error can lead to device failure, which in healthcare could mean the difference between success and risk.

That’s why Foxtronics EMS integrates design for manufacturability (DFM) expertise, rigorous process validation, and complete documentation into every medical device build to reduce redesigns and accelerate time-to-market. Each medical PCB assembly undergoes comprehensive testing and validation, including functional, in-circuit, and reliability testing protocols that mirror real-world clinical use conditions. Test data is logged under serialized identifiers for traceability and long-term compliance.

Our controlled environments, clean PCB assembly processes, and stringent quality systems ensure every build meets FDA and CE regulatory standards. The goal isn’t just meeting specifications; it’s ensuring patient safety, product consistency, and complete accountability at every stage of production.
