Adopt a Modular Approach for Implantable Device Test
The evolution of implantable devices and pacemaker technologies, including advancements like respiration-based pacing, MRI-safe devices, and wireless connectivity, has complicated the test landscape. These innovations, along with rigorous compliance standards, have added layers of complexity to traditional testing processes. As a result, today’s implantable device test groups require a testing solution that must:
- Be flexible and scalable to meet future implantable device design needs while minimizing additional code, development, and recertification.
- Scale to meet demanding test coverage to ensure cardiac and non-cardiac implantable device quality.
- Ease global supply chain and sustaining challenges with a COTS approach.
Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Implantable Device Functional Test
- PXI provides small form factor and comprehensive I/O that allows for quick and highly accurate test.
- PXI Oscilloscopes provide high-speed waveform capture to ensure signal integrity.
- PXI DMMs provide precise DC measurements.
- PXI source measurement units (SMUs) provide repeatable and precise measurement and current sourcing for device calibration and battery simulation.
- PXI LCR meters can provide up to 2 MHz stimulus frequency and 40 V DC bias voltage.
- PXI waveform generators and Digital Pattern Instruments provide adaptable signal injection.
- Production test software—like NI TestStand and NI SystemLink™ software for systems management, and NI InstrumentStudio™ software for extended monitoring and debugging capabilities—provides quick integration with NI PXI hardware.
