Dear all,

I need some information such as the requirements for designing an isolation circuit to meet the standard for medical device so tat the device can be considered Safe and would be recognised by FDA. For example, the gap between 2 isolated circuit on the PCB, the minimum voltage the device need to withstand when surge occurs without hurting the end users.

Thank,
Eric Mar

What you need to get is the IEC60601, which is the basic safety standard for electrical medical equipment ..
It is available on the Internet, but it is not free ..
Of course these standards are only guidelines and will not provide you with direct hints on details, but if you would like to design/manufacture/supply medical equipment you HAVE to comply with them ..
Regards,

It is a difficult topic, because even manufactures like National don't sell components for medical equipament without authorization of company president ... this show how difficult is this topic ....
