DENVER, Colo — Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions, announced the new NCF425 series of CF-rated medical open frame AC-DC power supplies.
The system-level cardiac floating (CF) rating is the most stringent medical device electrical safety classification, with certification needed for equipment that has direct contact with the heart or bloodstream.
Advanced Energy is one of the few innovators providing standard off-the-shelf CF-rated power products. Today’s launch further expands its CF-rated portfolio, which was initially released in September 2024 with the groundbreaking release of the NCF150 series followed by the NCF250 and NCF600 series. Advanced Energy’s NCF series achieves a sub-10 µA leakage current and integrates the high levels of isolation required in critical medical devices.
“The NCF425 is the fourth in our NCF family of off-the-shelf CF-rated AC-DC power products for medical devices,” said Emdrem Tan, Advanced Energy’s Executive Vice President, System Power. “Advanced Energy offers the broadest portfolio of standard CF-rated products in the industry, with this new release offering additional options for designing critical medical systems. It helps reduce the number of isolation components needed, and minimizes system size, cost, and time to market.”
The NCF family is designed to simplify thermal and EMI management, reduce system size and weight, and reduce the bill of materials (BOM). It also includes functionality normally provided at the system level, reducing time and complexity in the development process.
The NCF425, certified to the medical safety standard IEC 60601-1, delivers a maximum output power of 425 W in a 3.5 x 6 x 1.5-inch form factor. It also features 5 kV defibrillator pulse protection and meets the highest possible (2 x MOPP) means of patient protection rating, which requires isolation to 4 kVac and a creepage of at least 8 mm.
Applications include surgical generators, RF ablation, pulsed field ablation (PFA), cardiac assist devices and monitors, and cardiac mapping systems.
