As the healthcare industry embarks on a new year, the spotlight falls on an often-overlooked yet pivotal element in medical technology: medical cable assemblies. At ClearPath Medical, our commitment extends beyond manufacturing; we specialize in engineering custom medical cable assemblies that set new performance, quality, and reliability benchmarks.
Enhancing Medical Device Performance through Advanced Cable Technologies
This month’s ClearPath Medical blog highlights these vital components’ essential role in the healthcare industry. More than just accessories, medical cable assemblies are the lifelines of medical devices, providing the precision and stability crucial in life-saving equipment.
Signal Integrity: Blocking Out the Noise
Post-processing of ECG signals may be employed to filter and compensate for noisy signals, but reducing noise at the source typically improves the diagnostic quality. Incorporating low-noise cable and wire materials and designing connectors and strain reliefs to prevent movement at terminations can help reduce triboelectric noise.
Compliance with rigorous standards like ANSI/AAMI EC53 is a testament to the reliability of these cables. This confirms electrical performance and meets stringent precise and reliable signal transmission requirements.

Interference: Know Your Shielding Options
Medical cable assemblies can present some unique challenges due to the need to meet patient safety standards and the general nature of physiological signals.
EMI and Radiofrequency (RF) interference can degrade signals carried by medical cables, making diagnosis difficult or even impossible. Effective shielding can reduce unwanted interference and the amount of electronic filtering needed within the device.
All cable assembly elements of a medical device are essential in meeting product performance, usage, environmental requirements, and aesthetics. The team at ClearPath Medical has the experience and expertise to assist you in designing medical cable assemblies with appropriate and adequate shielding for your specific application.
