Inductive components for maximum quality and safety

Medical Technology

Especially in medical technology, where utmost safety is paramount, all products must undergo rigorous testing.
The standards IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 define the safety of medical electrical equipment. To implement these for ensuring a safe power supply, knowledge and extensive experience are required. In the in-house test field at the REO plant in Pfarrkirchen, all Transformers undergo rigorous testing, which guarantees compliance with the relevant standards. Beyond the production of standard products, REO boasts extensive manufacturing depth. This allows customer-specific requirements, such as special housings or mounting plates for Transformers, to be easily realized. Through our international branches and service partners, we ensure very high availability of our medical technology and are there for consulting, planning, and maintenance where you need us – on site with you.

REOMED

Isolating transformers for medical technology Ed. 3.2

REO has successfully completed the certification according to IEC 60601-1 (Edition 3.2) for its REOMED isolation Transformers. This certification has been mandatory since October 2024 and underlines the quality and reliability of the REOMED series, which was specially developed for medical technology. The isolation Transformers offer the highest safety and reliability, which are essential for use in medical devices and systems. These Transformers are used in a variety of medical applications worldwide, from hospital equipment to complex medical imaging systems. REOMED Transformers are characterized by their excellent insulation capability and low electromagnetic interference, ensuring safe and reliable operation. An example of the products in this series is the REOMED 2200, which is unique with its nominal output power of 2200 VA.
Furthermore, this isolation Transformer offers improved voltage stability and optimized heat dissipation, leading to an extended service life and increased operational safety. With the successful testing of the 3.2 Edition, the REOMED isolation Transformers are optimally prepared for current and future market requirements and comply with:
IEC60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020
ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/A2:2021
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60601-1:14/A2:2022-3 (Medical technology) USA and Canada
IEC60601–1-2:2014(Partly); EN/IEC 61000-3-2:2014; EN/IEC 61000-3-3:2013

Lifesaver medical technology

Without the use of electricity, modern examination and surgical methods would not be possible. Whether computed tomography, ECG, or dental treatments – on the one hand, the use of electricity has replaced and improved traditional treatment methods, and on the other hand, it has made certain procedures possible in the first place. However, the use of electricity always poses dangers to humans. Especially in the medical field, where electrical applications are in direct contact with the patient, the potential risk is particularly high. These sources of danger are addressed by standards such as IEC 60601-1, which regulate the requirements for a safe power supply in the medical field and protect patients from hazards. At the plant in Pfarrkirchen, REO develops and manufactures Transformers for medical technology that comply with globally valid standards and set benchmarks in terms of reliability and efficiency: Medical technology – Made in Germany
