As electrical devices are becoming more common in Medical technology, standards in the field are developing constantly to ensure safety of users and patients. Ease of use is also important because medical devices at home are becoming more widespread. Especially in movable and mobile devices components must also be light and compact. Autoclavability of components is often important if devices need to be sterilaized. If devices are attached to patients, bio compability puts restrictions for materials available. Electrical attributes also need consideration if devices are fixedly attached to hospitals power grid. Short power outages, spikes or insulation problems may cause misdiagnosis or danger to patient’s health.
