Most designers nowadays elect to use standard commercially available medical power supplies, or seek the help of a specialist power supply company to create a customized unit. Using power supplies that are already pre-approved to the EN60601-1 safety standard help medical device and system manufacturers speed compliance testing of their own products, and minimize the risk of them encountering unexpected development problems outside their own area of expertise, which might negatively impact launch targets.
