CF rated power supplies must have a patient leakage current that does not exceed 10µA. Most leakage currents are generated by excessive capacitance between the AC line and the patient. Bear has developed several innovative isolation techniques that yield a leakage current less than 5µA, exceeding the requirements for Type CF-rated medical devices.
The 750W medical power supply that Bear shipped measures 11.5” x 4.25” x 3.7” and includes a quiet temperature-controlled fan. Bear designs and manufactures custom power supplies for use in diagnostic instruments and patient care devices, and its American-made solutions are found in healthcare environments ranging from primary-care physician offices to operating rooms.
“Bear Power Supplies was selected for this project because of our deep experience with low leakage medical power supplies,” said Michael Allen, President. “We also excel at customisation, even for low volumes, and can provide non-standard output voltages, unusual form factors, compact sizes for portable medical devices, encapsulation, and more.”
