Application of Medical PCBs in Electronic Blood Pressure Monitors

        Electronic blood pressure monitors are among the most common home medical devices, and the design of their internal electronic systems directly determines measurement accuracy and long-term stability. As a professional medical PCB manufacturer, HoYoGo has long been dedicated to providing precision multilayer PCB products for the medical electronics field, supporting devices in achieving high performance and high reliability. In an electronic blood pressure monitor, the medical PCB serves as the core carrier of the system, it connects the sensors, microprocessors, power management, and display modules, enabling the device to complete blood pressure measurement and data analysis with stability and efficiency. The following sections will explain the key roles of medical PCBs in electronic blood pressure monitors from several important perspectives.

 

1. Ensuring the Accuracy of Signal Acquisition and Transmission

In an electronic blood pressure monitor, the medical PCB primarily serves as the supporting platform for the acquisition and transmission of analog signals. The pulse signals output from the pressure sensor have very small amplitudes and are highly sensitive to external noise. Therefore, the PCB must adopt a low-noise routing design, properly separate analog and digital regions, and utilize grounding and shielding layers to suppress interference. The layout structure should be designed to minimize interference from high-frequency components along the signal paths, and the routing impedance should be kept consistent to prevent pulse waveform distortion, which could otherwise affect the accuracy of the blood pressure algorithm’s analysis.

 

 

2. Stable Support for Data Processing and Algorithm Platform

As the core of blood pressure data analysis, the microprocessor requires reliable installation and integration on the medical PCB. The PCB not only provides stable electrical connections for the processor and its peripheral circuits but also prevents noise interference during data computation and high-speed processing through proper layout and grounding design. With the addition of functional modules such as Bluetooth communication, data storage, and cloud transmission, the routing density and integration level of the PCB have increased significantly. Therefore, a more optimized multilayer structure and power distribution design are required to improve heat dissipation and electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring that the processing chip remains stable during long-term operation.

 

 

3. A Key Carrier of the Power Management System

In an electronic blood pressure monitor, the medical PCB serves as the key carrier of the power management system. Since the device relies on battery power, voltage fluctuations can directly affect measurement accuracy and system stability. Therefore, the PCB must integrate circuit modules for voltage regulation, overcurrent protection, charging management, and filtering to provide the sensors and microprocessor with a continuous and clean power supply. During transient current fluctuations, such as when the air pump starts or the valve releases pressure, the power system should have excellent transient response and energy storage capability to ensure the continuity and reliability of blood pressure data acquisition and algorithm computation.

 

 

4. The Connection Hub for Display and User Interface

In an electronic blood pressure monitor, the medical PCB serves as the connection hub for the display and user interface. Functional units such as the LCD screen, buttons, and voice module interact through the PCB to exchange signal and control information. The PCB is responsible for transmitting calculation results reliably to the display unit and ensuring that button commands are quickly and accurately fed back to the control chip. At the same time, the PCB’s structural design must align closely with the housing and display module, allowing the device to remain lightweight and compact while ensuring that all interfaces are firm and durable, capable of withstanding frequent operation in everyday household use.

 

 

5. A Key Factor in Enhancing Device Reliability and Service Life

The materials and manufacturing processes of high-quality medical PCBs directly determine the long-term reliability of electronic blood pressure monitors. Whether under temperature fluctuations, continuous power operation, humid environments, or frequent use, the PCB must maintain excellent conductivity and prevent issues such as oxidation, solder joint fatigue, or circuit detachment. By optimizing routing and grounding design, enhancing signal integrity, and adding protective coatings, the PCB can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference, maintain measurement repeatability, and ensure that users consistently obtain accurate and stable blood pressure readings over time.

 

 

6. The Foundational Platform for Supporting Intelligent and Miniaturized Development

With the growing popularity of smart blood pressure monitors, more functional modules, such as Bluetooth connectivity, data storage, app synchronization, and heart rate monitoring are being integrated into limited spaces. This places greater demands on the medical PCB in terms of layout and layer stack design, requiring high-density integration and spatial optimization while maintaining signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility. At the same time, miniaturized designs impose stricter requirements on PCB thickness, flexible connections, and mechanical strength, making the PCB a core foundation for advancing intelligent and lightweight medical devices.

Why does PCB Pads Fall Off?

图片
       PCB pad  falling off   is a  relatively  common  bad   phenomenon in   the   PCBA processing process , that is, the phenomenon that the pads are separated from the PCB. As a necessary medium for welding and assembling electronic components and PCB boards, once the pads fall off, the PCBA products will fail to be used normally. So what are the reasons for the PCB pads to fall off?   PCB and soldering problems are the main cause of PCB pads falling off.     PCB problem:   The poor adaptability of the copper foil and the resin of the PCB substrate will lead to the mismatch between the copper foil and the resin system, causing the PCB pad to fall off.   In the PCB manufacturing process, excessive etching of the circuit leads to copper throwing or deformation of the pad due to the collision of the pad position during the processing process, which will also cause the PCB pad to fall off.     ...

The Difference between PCB and PWB

　　In our daily life, we often use electronic products. A lot of electronic components are used in each electronic product, so we often hear the words PCB and PWB. They are similar but different from the literal point of view, therefore many people are confused. They are not clear whether the PCB and the PWB are the same. Let's explain in detail. 　　The difference between PCB and PWB : 　　PCB: Based on insulating substrate, it means a kind of products on which the wires are connected and components are printed from point to point on a dielectric substrate in a predetermined design. It is the English abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board. 　　PWB:Based on insulating substrate, it means a kind of products on which the wires are connected from point to point on a dielectric substrate in a predetermined design. However, there is no printed component on it.PWBs are the early name of the British, because at that time there were only circuit diagrams on the circuit board, but no printe...

What is the Effect of Humid Environment on PCBA

图片
      There is a lot of moisture in the air, when the humidity is too high, it will turn into water droplets and fall on the PCB board and electronic components. So what kind of effect does this humid environment have on PCBA?       In the process of PCBA processing, it is necessary to ensure the humidity balance in the workshop, so that the humidity value is within a suitable range. If the humidity is too low, the air will be too dry, which not only easy to generate static electricity, but also to accumulate dust. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to cause the PCBA to be damp and oxidiz ed or to burst.     Before PCBA processing, if the electronic components are damp, the pins of the electronic components will be oxidized, or there will be undesirable phenomena such as tin rejection and fried tin during the welding process. And if the PCB board is exposed to a high humidity environment for a long time, it will cause the board surface to be ...
