Introduction:
As ARM performance improves, its advantages in power consumption, price, and size are becoming more significant, leading to a deeper expansion of ARM into the medical device field. Advantech, with its excellent quality and performance of RISC/ARM embedded products, as well as its control over the supply chain, has supported the stable supply of various medical device applications during this pandemic.
-Client Application-
A large domestic medical equipment company had its high-end therapeutic ventilators and multifunctional therapeutic ventilators selected in the first and second batches of urgently needed medical devices in China after the outbreak. To meet the environmental temperature requirements during high-temperature and high-pressure disinfection, as well as the machine’s ultra-high precision and long-term stable operation characteristics, after multiple selections, the Advantech ROM-5420 based on the NXP i.MX6 high-performance processor was ultimately chosen as the main control unit for the ventilator.
-Challenges Faced-
-
Video analysis processing
-
Complex peripheral expansion
-
Temperature changes of the equipment
-
Long-term stable operation

-Client Application-
A large domestic medical equipment company produces lung function testing instruments widely used in the clinical treatment of lung diseases. Its main application is to assess patients’ surgical tolerance, anesthesia risk, surgical method selection, and predict whether postoperative complications will occur. The Advantech ARM core board ROM-5420, with its excellent performance and extremely stable product characteristics, has become the main control unit in the client’s product, providing computing power for the equipment.
-Challenges Faced-
-
High precision requires high computing performance
-
Stable connection of professional peripheral devices
-
Strict hardware design standards
-
Compliance with medical regulatory certification conditions
（Lung detection application illustration）The Advantech SMARC v1.1 core board, with strict hardware design, allows for long-term stable operation. It also has multiple resource interfaces, enabling the connection of various peripherals for different data collection and processing. Furthermore, it supports multiple Linux operating systems, providing BSP support and modifications, as well as technical services for upper-layer software, assisting clients in solving all issues encountered during product design, development, and mass production. This truly achieves long-term hardware supply and long-term software service, allowing clients’ products to achieve true long-term stability and reliability.
