Recently, Powerstax announced that its MEDISTAX range of power supplies for medical applications has been approved to the latest versions of safety approvals IEC 60601-1:2005 3rd Edition.

The power ranges of the MEDISTAX family of power supplies are available in 200-750W and 400-1450W providing a modular and configurable power solution in an extremely compact 1U high (40mm) package with up to 12 isolated outputs in either a 4 or 6 slot chassis. They are used for the Powerstax MEDISTAX medically approved power supply series including medical imaging equipment, dialysis systems, clinical diagnostic systems and medical lasers.

Using an innovative plug-and-play architecture, the MEDISTAX units integrate feature-laden front-end Power Units combined with slide-in output converter modules that enables the configuration of a custom power solution in less than 5 minutes. With high efficiencies of over 90%, it reduces system thermal load. The industry leading 15W/in³ power density offers a compact and versatile power solution with less than 300µA leakage current and 4000VAC isolation.

The device also features standard output voltages over the range 1.5V to 58V. All outputs are fully floating allowing outputs to be configured in series or parallel to provide custom outputs, with 5V bias standby voltage and ultra-high efficiency up to 90% reducing system heat dissipation. The visual LED indicators and individual output control signals. A universal 85-264VAC input range is standard as is over voltage protection and the full load operating temperature range is from -20 to +70°C.

The updated medical approvals for the Powerstax MEDISTAX powers supply includes ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005, Medical electrical equipment– Part 1, General requirements for basic safety and essential performance, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1:08 Medical electrical equipment, Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance, IEC60601-1:2005 Medical electrical equipment– Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.
