Medical technology lifesavers
Modern examination and operating methods would not be possible without the use of electricity. Be it computer tomography, ECG or dental treatment – the use of electricity has not only replaced and improved traditional treatment methods, but also made entirely new medical techniques possible
However, the use of electricity also holds dangers for people. A potential hazard is especially high in the medical sector, where electrical appliances are in direct contact with patients.
These sources of danger are subjected to standards such as the IEC 60601-1, which govern demands for a safe supply of electricity in the medical sector and protect patients from danger.
REO’s factory in Pfarrkirchen develops and produces REO transformers for medical technology which meet globally applicable standards and set standards in matters of reliability and efficiency.
