As Medical Device manufacturers increasingly move to off-the-shelf embedded computing architectures such as ETX, PC-104, Mini-ITX and EPIC they face several unique challenges. The medical device market requires technology that is configuration controlled due to the expensive and time consuming approval/certification process. Other drivers include small form factor, low power, custom I/O, product life cycle and backward compatibility. Network Allies helps medical device manufactures select the best embedded computing technology for their application as well as modify, and maintain the technology through the products life cycle.
