Medical technology allows no room for compromise. When human health and lives are at stake, electronic assemblies must deliver consistently high levels of precision, reliability and performance over many years. As a specialised EMS provider, BECOM delivers high-end electronics throughout the entire product lifecycle, tailored to the stringent quality and safety requirements of the healthcare market.
We support medical technology manufacturers in the professional industrialisation and subsequent series production of their products. With state-of-the-art manufacturing lines, controlled production conditions and a deep understanding of regulatory processes, we bring your medical electronic assemblies into reliable and reproducible series production.
The approval of medical devices is subject to stringent regulatory requirements. Our entire manufacturing organisation is structured to provide a high level of regulatory assurance. We manufacture in strict accordance with ISO 13485 requirements, creating a robust foundation to support product conformity.
Validated Processes: All production-critical processes, equipment and software systems are fully validated and continuously monitored.
Rigorous Risk Management: Production risks are analysed before the start of series production using FMEA and systematically reduced through targeted in-line control measures.
Audit Readiness: Our transparent documentation is designed to meet the stringent requirements of notified body inspections and customer audits at all times.
From highly integrated control electronics for mobile wearables to robust power electronics for large therapeutic equipment, our production capabilities cover the full technological spectrum of modern PCB assembly:
Our fully automated SMT lines reliably process the smallest component packages, down to 01005, as well as complex architectures such as BGAs and QFNs. This enables maximum performance in a minimal footprint, making it ideal for point-of-care devices and patient monitoring systems.
For mechanically demanding components or assemblies handling high currents, we combine precise manual assembly by IPC-certified specialists with highly automated selective and wave soldering systems.
Our ISO 13485-certified development and manufacturing capabilities meet stringent requirements for patient safety, precision and complete documentation. We develop and manufacture electronic assemblies for the following key areas:
Diagnostics & Laboratory Equipment: High-precision control boards, signal amplifiers and evaluation electronics for in vitro diagnostics (IVD), blood analysis systems and complex molecular biology laboratory platforms.
Patient Monitoring & Medical Wearables: Miniaturised, highly integrated electronics for the continuous monitoring of vital signs, such as ECG, oxygen saturation and pulse, in clinical environments and home care.
Therapy & Medical Technology Systems: Standards-compliant electronic assemblies designed for high availability in ventilators, dialysis systems, infusion pumps and electrosurgical instruments.
Medical Imaging: Complex control and processing boards for ultrasound devices, X-ray systems and optical diagnostic equipment, with a focus on fast and reliable signal processing.
Smart Assistive & Rehabilitation Systems: Intelligent control electronics for electric wheelchairs, active prostheses, robotic rehabilitation devices and accessible patient environments.
In medical technology, a zero-failure approach is essential. Every electronic assembly at BECOM undergoes comprehensive, multi-stage quality control directly within the production line to identify and reduce defects at an early stage:
3D SPI (Solder Paste Inspection): Three-dimensional inspection of solder paste deposits to detect potential soldering defects before component placement.
3D AOI (Automated Optical Inspection): High-resolution optical inspection of component placement, polarity and solder joints.
3D X-Ray Inspection: Non-destructive AXI inspection for reliable assessment of hidden solder joints beneath critical components.
ICT & Flying Probe: Comprehensive electrical in-circuit testing to verify all conductive paths and component values.
EOL Functional Testing & Calibration: Final functional testing of the complete system under real operating conditions, including precise adjustment of integrated sensor technology.
Our expertise extends far beyond the fully assembled PCB. We handle the complete system assembly (box build) for you, right through to the fully packaged medical device:
Professional integration of the electronics into application-specific enclosures suitable for medical environments, such as those made from specialised plastics or stainless steel.
Secure programming of firmware, bootloaders and individual configuration data directly during final assembly.
Fully automated selective conformal coating or complete potting to protect sensitive electronics against moisture, cleaning agents and disinfectants.
ISO 13485 Embedded DNA: All employees receive specific training in the quality standards and processes required for medical technology.
Industrialisation Expertise: We optimise your product design for manufacturability and cost efficiency before the start of series production (Design for Manufacturing / Design to Cost).
High-End Manufacturing in Europe: Secure supply chains, strong protection of your intellectual property (IP) and greater flexibility through our European manufacturing locations.
Proactive Obsolescence Management: We monitor the lifecycle of all components to help safeguard the long-term availability of your often long-lived medical devices over many years.
