Medical Device EMI Shielding
High-reliability shielding for imaging systems, patient monitors, and diagnostic equipment. Full traceability for regulatory compliance.
Medical devices require rigorous EMI performance per IEC 60601 standards to ensure patient safety and diagnostic accuracy. From MRI-compatible components to implantable device shielding, proper electromagnetic management is critical.
POCONS provides medical-grade EMI shielding components with the quality documentation and traceability required for medical device manufacturers.
Medical Imaging Systems
Medical imaging equipment—CT, MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound—requires controlled EMI management with documented shielding effectiveness:
- Signal integrity for low-noise image acquisition
- Interference immunity from hospital RF environment
- Emissions control to prevent interference with other equipment
Imaging front-ends face a two-sided problem: they must keep their own digital and gradient/switching noise off the analog acquisition path, and stay immune to the hospital RF environment that IEC 60601-1-2 immunity testing simulates (radiated fields and proximity transmitters). A board-level can over the analog front-end addresses both at once — and because two-piece designs are removable, the same shield supports the documented, repeatable testing that medical qualification requires.
Our shielding solutions provide 60-80 dB effectiveness for sensitive imaging electronics, ensuring diagnostic accuracy.
Recommended products:
Patient Monitoring Equipment
Patient monitors process vital signs in electrically noisy environments:
- ECG/EKG amplifiers require protection from 50/60 Hz interference
- Pulse oximeters need isolation from ambient light and RF
- Multi-parameter monitors combine multiple sensitive measurement channels
POCONS provides compact shielding solutions optimized for portable and bedside monitoring equipment.

Diagnostic & Laboratory Equipment
Laboratory and diagnostic instruments require precise signal measurement:
- Blood analyzers process microvolt-level signals
- Molecular diagnostics systems use sensitive optical and electronic detection
- Point-of-care devices operate in uncontrolled electromagnetic environments
Our components provide the shielding effectiveness needed for accurate diagnostic results.

Implantable Device Electronics
Implantable and wearable medical devices have unique constraints:
- Miniaturization requires compact, lightweight shielding
- Biocompatibility considerations for materials and plating
- Long-term reliability for devices with multi-year service life
POCONS works with implantable device manufacturers to develop custom shielding solutions that meet size, weight, and reliability requirements.

IEC 60601 EMC Compliance
IEC 60601-1-2 defines EMC requirements for medical electrical equipment:
- Emissions limits more stringent than commercial standards
- Immunity requirements for continued safe operation
- Risk management integration with ISO 14971
Our sales team can work with our Korea R&D team to help you select shielding solutions that support IEC 60601 compliance for your specific device classification.

Medical devices built and assembled by US contract manufacturers must meet IEC 60601-1-2 for emissions and immunity. Board-level shields are standard on the RF, sensor, and mixed-signal sections of these product classes.
POCONS shield components are manufactured in Korea (IATF 16949) and stocked and supported domestically from San Diego. The end products above are US-built and use this class of board-level shielding; this page does not claim any specific named product contains POCONS parts.
US-built products & board-level shielding
Do US-built medical devices require board-level EMI shielding?
Medical electrical equipment must meet IEC 60601-1-2 EMC requirements, which are more stringent than commercial limits. Board-level shields are a common, documented way to control emissions and protect sensitive measurement channels.
Can POCONS supply documentation for medical qualification?
POCONS manufactures with full traceability (IATF 16949 / ISO 9001) and provides quality documentation to support your regulatory submissions. Parts ship from domestic stock with US support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your shields support IEC 60601-1-2 EMC compliance?
Yes. Board-level EMI shielding helps medical electronics meet IEC 60601-1-2 emission and immunity requirements. Shielding effectiveness is configuration-specific, so we recommend validating on your actual layout.
Can you provide traceability and documentation for regulatory submissions?
Yes. We provide full material traceability and certificates of conformance under our IATF 16949 / ISO 9001 systems, supporting medical device quality and regulatory documentation needs.
Can you shield sensitive imaging and patient-monitoring front-ends?
Yes. Low-noise analog front-ends in imaging systems and patient monitors benefit from board-level cans and continuous grounding to keep external interference out and internal digital noise contained.
Where are the medical-device parts made?
Parts are precision-stamped at our IATF 16949–certified facility in Korea; POCONS USA in San Diego handles sales, stock, custom tooling, and engineering support. We do not represent the parts as US-made.
