Leading manufacturer of high-performance medical power solutions, Accutronics Ltd (an Ultralife company), will showcase its latest innovations at Medical Technology Ireland. The event, held at Galway Racecourse from September 25-26, 2024, is recognised as one of Europe's largest medical device design and manufacturing shows. Visitors can find Accutronics at stand L15, where the company will display an array of off-the-shelf and custom batteries and chargers that meet the rigorous demands of the medical and healthcare sectors.

85% of the top global medical technology companies are based in Ireland, which makes Medical Technology Ireland an ideal opportunity to learn about developments in the industry. Accutronics brings over 20 years of expertise in battery and charger manufacturing and, since 2016, has been part of global Ultralife Corporation. With a focus on innovation and reliability, plus an in-house team of mechanical and electrical engineers, Accutronics is well-equipped to design, build and test bespoke solutions. These battery packs or chargers are designed to meet the specific requirements of any medical device, such as size, weight, and operating temperature.

Examples of custom solutions will be on display on stand L15, alongside a wide range of pre-engineered and pre-certified batteries that are ideal for standard power requirements or to reduce time to market. This includes Inspired Energy standard Lithium-ion battery packs that are available in voltages from 3.6V to 28.8V. Additionally, Accutronics will showcase a couple of power solutions for medical carts, namely an embeddable battery designed for 'fit-and-forget' integration and a hot-swappable battery that works with a power system to support devices up to 150W. A charger that accommodates both USB-C and USB-A devices on pole/mobile carts is also available. Having such a broad offering caters for all sizes of cart and the different electronic devices they power.

For companies looking to replace sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries, Accutronics will also feature advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate packs, which offer a service life of five to seven years - significantly longer than the typical two years associated with SLA batteries. These batteries are also three times lighter than SLA batteries of the same capacity, making them an ideal choice for medical devices where weight reduction is essential. Visitors can also see Accutronics' Entellion batteries, including the CMX series - designed specifically for high power applications like ventilators - and credit card-sized batteries that are perfect for portable and wearable medical devices.

"The medical industry relies heavily on reliable and long-lasting batteries, as they are often used in devices where power failure is not an option," said Robert Brown, marketing executive at Accutronics. "Our long history in the medical sector uniquely positions us to address these challenges, as our batteries and chargers are specifically engineered to ensure reliable power, reducing downtime and supporting the demanding requirements of medical applications. OEMs and design engineers at the show can discuss how our products can help to mitigate these industry challenges and improve outcomes for health providers and patients alike."
