Innovative healthcare solutions, empowered by Iftest medical electronics
- End-to-end partner throughout the entire product lifecycle
- Unparalleled expertise in quality and regulatory affairs
- Technological excellence and experience in demanding applications
The customers of Iftest active in the medical technology sector come from various industry segments and therefore cover a wide range of applications. The collaborations span the entire product lifecycle.
Iftest’s services range from cost-efficient hardware and software development for new electronic assemblies, modules, medical devices, and healthcare wearables to industrialization and series production. Product lifecycle management is also an important part of our services and is becoming increasingly relevant for many customers. This includes services such as obsolescence management as well as logistics and repair services.
“Iftest is our industrialization partner for PCB layout design and the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, as well as our partner for the series production of assembled printed circuit boards and device assembly, including functional and safety testing. From CAD design and electronics manufacturing to testing technology, we value the expertise and reliability of the Iftest team.”
Application Examples
High-quality electronic assemblies and modules from Iftest are used not only in the most advanced medical devices but increasingly also in new applications such as digital health and wearable devices:
- Laboratory equipment used in X-ray and proton therapy for cancer treatment
- Sterilizable bone drills for surgical procedures
- Electronic control systems for pumps enabling highly precise drug dosing
- Electronic control units for dental medical devices
- Complex device control systems in ophthalmology
- Devices for controlled wound care
- Control systems for non-invasive patient monitoring (e.g., blood gas analysis)
- Device consoles for a heart pump
- Electronics for wearables with health applications
Development from Electronic Assembly to Medical Device
As a long-term partner, Iftest supports the development of new medical products from the initial idea through to market readiness — from the development of the electronic assembly and module production to the final assembly of the medical device. Together with its customers, Iftest defines specifications and conducts risk analyses to ensure the product’s functionality and safety while optimizing usability as a key product feature.
Quality That Saves Lives
All process steps at Iftest — including product design, system architecture, development, and production — are consistently aligned with all applicable quality and regulatory requirements, such as the ISO 13485 standard and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). In addition, all processes and manufactured medical technology products comply with the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Compliance with these quality standards is essential for the approval and market success of medical devices. For MedTech customers, Iftest’s extensive experience across all development phases and its comprehensive quality management system provide significant added value. Customers benefit from rapid prototyping, process FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), comprehensive verification testing, and support with validation and standards-compliant documentation during the industrialization process. These capabilities are key success factors for a fast and cost-efficient transition to series production.
Wearables with New Opportunities in Digital Health
The systematic collection of physiological data and the secure exchange of this information between patients, physicians, and hospitals create new opportunities for patient care and healthcare management. Medical wearable devices form an important foundation for this development. Worn on the body, they capture relevant data and communicate it wirelessly within connected systems. This data can be used for information, prevention, diagnostics, and therapy.
Iftest builds on many years of experience in the industrialization and series production of smartwatch electronics with health features and contributes this expertise to various digital health development projects.
Use Case: Innovative Heart Pump
For an innovative heart pump designed for use in hospitals, Iftest developed the electronic hardware and firmware for a comprehensive product solution on behalf of a customer.
Due to the intended field of application, it was particularly important that the project execution and documentation complied with the requirements for CE certification for use throughout Europe. Therefore, the relevant requirements — especially ensuring single-fault safety — were fully incorporated into the product and solution concept from the very beginning.
During the implementation phase, this was achieved through the development of an appropriate system architecture.
