Medical Imaging

In the medical industry, non-magnetic RF coaxial cable assemblies are at the heart of medical imaging systems where accuracy and reliability directly affect patient outcomes. ConductRF supports OEMs, integrators, and hospital system suppliers with expertly manufactured non-magnetic RF assemblies—from flexible jumpers to semi-flexible interconnects and multi-signal harnesses—designed to perform in environments, such as MRI and CT scanning, that also demand low signal loss, phase stability, dependable EMI shielding, and cleanliness.

Semi-flexible non-magnetic RF cable assemblies stand out for medical use because they provide phase stability and mild form retention without the rigidity of semi-rigid. This makes them well-suited to fixed-path applications in imaging or lab equipment where repeatability and low drift are critical.

ConductRF also offers white jacketing options on many flexible, semi-flexible, and hand-formable cable models. White jackets not only provide a clean aesthetic for clinical environments, but also make it easier to identify contamination such as blood splatter and are designed to withstand routine sterilization wipe-downs with medical-grade disinfectants.

Compliance & Certification for Medical RF Cable Assemblies

Medical device integrators and hospital procurement teams need confidence that every component will perform safely and reliably, while also meeting regulatory and environmental requirements. ConductRF supports this with a robust set of quality and compliance credentials:

• ISO 9001:2015 Registered – A globally recognized quality management system that ensures consistency and traceability in every build.
• ISO 13485 (Pathway) – Quality standard specific to medical devices; ConductRF aligns with its principles and can support OEMs requiring ISO 13485-compliant supply chains.
• IEC 60601-1 & IEC 60601-1-2 Support – Core safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards for medical electrical equipment, critical in imaging, monitoring, and therapeutic systems.
• Material Safety & Fire Standards – ConductRF offers jacket materials tested plenum rated standards for slowing flame propagation, and separately, LSZH rated for smoke density and halogen content.
• Biocompatibility Awareness – Assemblies can be specified with jackets that meet ISO 10993 testing requirements when patient contact is a consideration.
• Environmental Compliance – Fully compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (safe chemical use), supporting global medical device distribution.

Why it matters:

For engineers, these standards guarantee that ConductRF cable assemblies can be safely integrated into systems without unexpected compliance hurdles. For procurement personnel, it means partnering with a supplier who understands the regulatory landscape of the medical industry—simplifying audits, accelerating approvals, and reducing supply chain risk.
