Healthcare
In healthcare technology, every component decision matters. Medical systems—like ventilators, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, and MRI scanners—depend on complex electronics that must perform flawlessly under tight regulatory control. Yet the semiconductor supply chain moves faster than the certification cycle of the devices that use it.
One Obsolete Chip Can Derail An Entire Product Line
When a single chip goes end-of-life (EOL), the consequences ripple across years of design validation and regulatory investment.
FDA Certifications & Qualifications
Replacing just one obsolete chip in your product can trigger costly and time-consuming recertifications
Time
Control of product design timelines is critical especially in context of tighter regulatory control and industry innovation cycles.
THE PHOENIX DIFFERENCE
Sustaining Medical Innovation Without Resetting Certification Clocks
Anticipating component end-of-life in your lifecycle planning by leveraging drop-in replacements can avoid triggering re-certification down the road.
Replacements, On Your Timeline
Redesign products on your own time frame, optimizing product line time to market.
Form, Fit, Function Equivalent
Avoid triggering PMA recertification by maintaining form and function equivalence showing that no new risks are introduced.
Avoid Costly Redesigns
In an industry where certification can take 3-5 years and cost millions of thousands of dollars, continuity isn’t a convenience—it’s a competitive advantage. Phoenix Semiconductor helps medical manufacturers keep approved devices in production, in compliance, and in hospitals where they belong.
