Now more than ever, medical electronics are at the forefront of all printed circuit board markets. Fortunately, during the past few years we have a seen a tremendous leap in Medical Electronics technology. In fact, in the last decade saw a trend towards the “miniaturization” of medical devices owing to the growing demands from hospitals, practitioners, and patients for increased functionality, flexibility, and portability.

The rise of high-speed internet, technologies like artificial intelligence and IoT, the exponential growth of computational power, and a decrease in storage costs, spurred a new era of “smart” medical equipment, revolutionizing drug delivery systems, lab diagnostics, wireless controllers, imaging equipment, and medical implants.

These needs for “small” to tiny” to “nano” has had ramifications on the technology required to meet the needs of this market. Due to these extremely challenging size limitations and devices with limited amount of space within the equipment for the required circuitry. As such, medical device manufacturers require “new-gen” printed circuit boards (PCB) that are highly capable and easy to build.

To this end, American Standard Circuits (ASC) prides itself on being a total solutions provider, manufacturing quality rigid, metal-backed, RF/microwave, flex, and rigid-flex PCBs for the medical industry, in volumes ranging from test and prototypes to large production orders. The company’s managerial team holds over 400 years of combined experience in building PCBs for a wide variety of technologies in time-critical environments. “We have been manufacturing flex and rigid-flex PCBs for over eight years. By working with a wide variety of customers from the military, aerospace, and the automotive industry, we have built an extensive knowledge base that enables us to advise clients from the medical industry in terms of designing boards that are more manufacturable and have little-to-no issues right out of the gate. Our experience also enables us to do quick-turn prototypes and help our clients, ramp-up to production, seamlessly,” says Anaya Vardya, CEO, ASC.

What makes ASC unique in this marketplace is their hands-on approach to client servicing and promise of value. Typically, when a client walks in with a preconceived idea or design of the PCB and its functionalities, ASC first analyses it to identify any flaws and gauge its feasibility and manufacturability. In the event of any design flaws or costs issues driven by the materials required to build the circuit board, the company not only guides its clients in the right direction but also proposes cost-effective alternative solutions that do not compromise on quality and functionality.
