Design and development of a multi-channel automated Hipot and continuity tester for medical devices

A novel medical device for the treatment of heart arrythmia is designed and built by the partner organization. The medical device must go under certain electrical safety tests in the final inspection. These tests are currently conducted manually by the operators. This stage is a major bottleneck in the production line. On the other hand, the device is certified to be used in Europe and will start a controlled Clinical study in the USA under a PMA filling. Because of this, the partner organization wants the intern to undertake a research project whose objective is to automate electrical safety tests and so decrees the testing time. The main benefit to the company is increased number of devices that pass final inspection, enabling the company to make the supply meet the high demand in the future, and more importantly having more patients being treated by the device.
