Electronic hardware development
Power sensing and control with seamless mechanical and software integration
Background
Do you need a connected device, control or sensor system?
Lucid’s team can help with our significant experience developing electronics and integrations for medical, wellness and scientific systems including:
Wearable and implantable devices
Wireless connectivity
Temperature, moisture, movement, gas and pressure sensors
Control and monitoring systems
Discovery
We start by collaborating with user and commercial stakeholders, industrial and software designers and regulatory specialists. Together we’ll create defined options for systems architecture and agree a clear electronics development specification and schedule.
Market, usability and technical objectives Include:
Appropriate component selection and future supply assurance
Assembly and test supplier selection and costing
Power and thermal management
Electromagnetic compatibility
Compliance to IEC 60601 medical device and other relevant standards.
Design
We investigate feasibility with breadboards and evaluation kits collaborating with Lucid’s embedded software engineers .
PCB layout and hardware configuration is optimised using design and simulation tools including PADs Professional.
To help miniaturise devices and optimise technology for people and production, electronic development is collaborative and concurrent with industrial and mechanical design.
Delivery
In-house capabilities enable Lucid’s team to handover much more than design.
Pre-compliance test equipment covering principal requirements of IEC 60601 and other standards includes:
EMC test chamber
Dielectric strength measurement
Thermal chamber and measuring equipment
Solid and liquid ingress test rigs
Structural (drop, impact, vibration) rigs
In-house electronics regulatory expertise helps manage an extensive network of test-houses in UK and world-wide.
Accredited to ISO 13485 for medical device manufacturing Lucid assembles and delivers fully compliant products and kits for clinical investigation.
We manage product certification for UKCA and CE and FDA clearance and batch build medical and other devices.
