Customized Battery Management Systems for Medical Devices

Medical devices are used in a variety of environments – in hospitals, at doctor’s offices, in patient’s homes and even on the patient. Ensuring safe use and reliable performance starts at the design phase and decisions made throughout the development process will ultimately impact the overall safety, reliability, and performance of the device.
 
At Inventus Power, we design and manufacture the Battery Management System (BMS) in-house which gives us 100% control over the design and ability to customize each battery pack to match the end application.

Regulatory Compliant Battery
Systems for Medical Devices 

Inventus Power has extensive regulatory experience for country-specific certifications as well as FDA class I, II & III certification requirements. In addition, we also have an in-house regulatory lab and test both cells and battery packs in the product prototype stage to ensure that a customer’s battery pack will pass compliance testing, such as IEC 62133, UL 2054, UL 1642, IEC 60101-1, UNDOT 38.3 and more. Our goal is to make sure the battery pack’s compliance dovetails into the customer’s product-level agency requirements and performance.

Patient-Centric Design 

At Inventus Power, patient safety is a priority. Every feature of the battery management system,  every aspect of the mechanical design, every software algorithm is designed with safety in mind. Our promise: We don’t compromise on safety, ever.

Medical Product Awareness Training

We make every battery pack in-house and train our employees on the manufacturing line of the immense importance of the batteries they are helping to produce. It is our experience, that when we inform our employees on the end application, whether it is a ventricular assist device, respirator or other critical medical device, there is higher attention to quality throughout all steps in the manufacturing process.

Why Inventus Power? 

Battery Industry Expertise

Medical device battery solutions are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are designers and manufacturers of battery packs, chargers and power supplies. When choosing a power solutions supplier, it’s critical for OEMs to find a partner that offers innovation and has the experience and capabilities to design and manufacture safe and reliable power solutions.

Inventus Power has been developing battery packs for over 60 years and have been a critical partner to many major medical device manufacturers, specifically aiding in their transition from different battery chemistries as well as enabling the complete transition from corded devices to battery-operated ones.

Total System Approach

We have the knowledge and capabilities to design and manufacture the entire medical power system (battery pack, charger, power supply) and ensure all components are integrated to achieve optimal performance, efficiency and sustainability while meeting all agency, regulatory and testing requirements. We provide complete system integration expertise from cell chemistry selection through final system design.

Patient Priority

Our team of dedicated employees around the world are passionate about the quality of the products we design & manufacture and our “safety first” culture drives empowerment and accountability to always do the right thing, especially when our actions can affect patients.
