In the medical electronics industry, precision and reliability are critical. Among medical devices, syringe pumps require extremely accurate electronic control to ensure safe and stable drug delivery. Any design flaw in the printed circuit board can lead to electromagnetic interference (EMI), unstable signals, or even risks to patient health.This is why flexible PCBs have become the preferred solution in syringe pumps and other medical devices. Their flexibility, durability, and EMI management capabilities help meet strict healthcare requirements.

Flex PCB Design for Syringe Pumps

A syringe pump places high demands on its internal circuit boards. To achieve stability, signal accuracy, and EMI shielding, a laminated Flex PCB structure is used.

Top and Bottom Layers: Protective Coverlay
  • Insulates and protects copper circuits

  • Prevents short circuits and mechanical damage

  • Extends service life of the board

Middle Layer: Silver Paste for EMI Shielding
  • Provides strong electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

  • Reduces external and internal interference

  • Ensures stable operation of drug delivery systems

Double-Sided FCCL: High-Density and Reliable
  • Circuit etched on one side, continuous copper layer on the other

  • Copper plane reduces EMI and stabilizes signal transmission

  • Supports compact design within limited device space

EMI Management in Medical Equipment

Electromagnetic interference is a major challenge in medical electronics. It can:

  • Disrupt syringe pump operation

  • Affect the accuracy of drug injection

  • Interfere with other hospital devices
