What is an electromechanical medical device?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An electromechanical device is one that has both electrical and mechanical processes. The device usually involves an electrical signal that creates a mechanical movement, or a mechanical movement that creates an electric signal. Utilizing electromechanical systems in medical devices is beneficial for increasing control of the device action, supporting sustainable energy usage, producing clean and sanitary equipment, creating compact and powerful tools, reducing costs for all parties, and meeting regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n

How are electromechanical devices used in healthcare?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In healthcare, electromechanical medical devices are used in numerous applications. An electromechanical device may be developed in any situation where precise motion control is desired. For example, drug delivery systems are a heavy focus of our work at Sanner, and it is valuable for healthcare providers to have a system that can detect even the slightest actuation of a drug delivering mechanism. Electromechanical drug delivery systems such as these can precisely measure very small amounts of medication, as is commonly required for neonatal and pediatric patients.<\/p>\n

Understanding Electromechanical Systems<\/h2>\n

Using an integrated system also generally allows for greater control of the repeatability of a process, as it eliminates manual motion from human input. Another popular example is the da Vinci surgical system, which is a robotic surgical system that is designed to facilitate surgery using a minimally invasive approach. The machine is usually controlled by a surgeon from a console and uses both electrical and mechanical moving parts to carry out its intended services. Combining mechanical precision with the skill and expertise of a surgeon, these innovations can greatly reduce the risks of surgical errors. \u00a0These systems reduce the subjectivity and inaccuracy of processes typically performed manually, giving the patient greater peace of mind and a higher likelihood of a successful procedure.<\/p>\n
