We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Medical device",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release RTOSs to support further protocols from
Green Hills Software, which we summarised at the time by saying "Green Hills delivers a wide range of royalty-free operating systems for Freescale's families of industrial-class microprocessors and microcontrollers".
The day before,
we featured the news release Malaysian plant wins FDA approval from
Plexus Corp UK: "Facility is approved to manufacture class III finished devices on behalf of a large tier-one medical OEMs".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Institution of Engineering and Technology
- take a look at Health sensor wins electronics award
which says: "The 'digital plaster' is an ultra-low power smart sensor, which can continuously monitor multiple vital health signs such as such as heart rate, body temperature and respiration".
Take a look also at the news release from SL Power Electronics Corporation, Power supplies suit medical use,
as well as Medical project moves on to manufacturing from Plexus Corp UK,
and Medical connectors offer 48 channels from Tekdata Interconnect Systems.
