Wireless Medical Sensors: Designed from Scratch, First-Pass FCC and Medical Certification
A medical device company needed a full family of wireless sensors designed from scratch and every one passed both medical and FCC certification on the first attempt.
Building a wireless medical device and worried about FCC and medical certification? We design for compliance from day one – not as an afterthought.Talk to an RF engineer →
The Problem
A medical device company needed a family of wireless sensor devices designed from scratch. Each device in the family required both transmit and receive capability, and all devices needed to pass both medical device certification and FCC wireless certification – a dual regulatory path that trips up a lot of product teams.
Our Approach
We designed the full family of wireless medical sensors from the ground up. Each device was architected with both TX and RX paths, sharing a common RF platform where possible to streamline the certification process across the product family. We designed with the regulatory requirements in mind from day one – not as an afterthought – which meant the PCB layouts, shielding, and antenna integration were all optimized for clean emissions and compliant operation before we ever entered the test chamber.
The Result
Every device in the family passed both medical and FCC certifications on the first attempt. No failures, no retests, no schedule impacts. Designing for compliance from the start – rather than designing first and scrambling to pass testing later – saved the client significant time and money.
