MicroSun Technologies Introduces Custom Medical Grade Charger

LISLE, Ill.-April 9, 2007- MicroSun Technologies, a leading global source for customized battery packs and chargers, is pleased to announce it has developed a custom application-oriented charger designed and tested to meet stringent medical requirements.

The charger is designed to operate globally and has the capacity to charge up to 10 single-cell lithium ion devices independently. The advanced system only activates the output when a battery is present using Hall Effect sensing technology. The charging algorithm includes specialized boost modes to improve the charge time of the device. The system power is optimized for high efficiency, low heat generation and low EMI susceptibility.

The charger is built to the highest standards for safety and medical requirements, including EN-60601 class 1, UL60601-1, CSA22.2 No601.1-M90 (regulatory), CISPR11 class B, IEC61000 (electromagnetic), IEC60529 IPx1 (liquid ingress), IEC68-2 (shock / vibration). MicroSun tests and reports all customer required parameters for validation and verification. The device is specially designed to allow easy service and minimize costs in field service equipment and materials for repair. The device is built to last with a mean time between failure of over 100K hours for electrical operation or 10K cycles for mechanical insertions.

MicroSun prides itself in implementing functional and safety tests at 100 percent production level, including critical safety tests such as dielectric strength and leakage testing.
