CCI 1050 Medical Device Test Station The CCI 1050 board and product level test station is a part of the Circuit Check 1000 Series Configurable ATE Platform (see page 7). With a lower cost of ownership, the CCI 1050 allows medical device manufactures to build reliable and upgradable test systems that meet both internal quality standards and those outlined in 21 CFR Part 820. Based upon proven customer successes, the CCI 1050 system meets medical device manufacturing requirements for capability, quality and throughput. A unique differentiator of the CCI 1050 is its scalable product interface capabilities, enabling test of simple products to testing complex printed card assemblies that require through-connector measurements. The CCI 1050 automated fixture-to-board interfacing capabilities enable operator hands-off test for reduced handling points. Circuit Check CCI 1050 Modular fixturing and hands-off automated product interfacing lowers total cost of ownership while improving quality Smaller footprint fits floor space requirements Designed for verification and production test usage Deliverable with board/product functional, RF and flash modalities Accuracy and Performance CCI test systems for medical device test are based upon PXI modular hardware, user configurable modules and high-level user friendly test management software. CCI 1050 test stations can be deployed with board/product functional, RF and flash programming modalities. Once configured with measurement hardware, CCI can include all the tools needed to support the software development lifecycle, including requirements management, code analysis and traceability, and unit tests. These deliverables can be used as a component to satisfy risk assessment and mitigation strategies outlined internally or by 21 CFR Part 820. Compliance with Safety and Quality The CCI 1050 based test station plays an essential role in compliance with quality and safety standards, designed to reduce safety risks and improve product quality. A test execution engine allows transparency between the top floor and the shop floor across even the most widely distributed manufacturing processes. CCI configurable software architectures embed quality, environmental, and safety controls to help manage compliance. Configurability Adding a new range of design possibilities for test solutions, the CCI 1050 architecture supports shared instrumentation with asynchronous test execution that leverages traditional fixturing or complete board level automation (see Fixtures and Interfacing Options section). www.circuitcheck.com 2

CCI 1050 Interfacing and Fixturing Options This section outlines methods of interfacing and fixturing to the measurement instrumentation in the CCI 1050 test station. Interfacing and Fixturing Options Product Interfacing Selectable product interface options o Topside o Bi-Level and multistage o Through connector Direct connection to product: The CCI 1050 can be configured with adapters to interface to connectors that may be present on the product. CCI s patented fixture technologies allow the device under test connectors to be engaged and dis-engaged easily as the fixture is operated. CCI connector interfaces also are designed to be easily replaceable. Interchangeable product adapters inside the test fixture o CCI drop-in personalized plates Fully automated product-to-fixture interfacing Fully automated through-connector test Test probe connection to product: Figure 1. Example through-connector test interface A product test fixture is designed to make direct contact to test points on the surfaces of the PCB using spring loaded test probes. The PCB is placed in the test fixture, and upon the "test start" sequence the fixture engages the test probes to make electrical connections thus testing critical segments of the PCB. Test fixtures with RF shielding Product Fixturing Figure 2: Example wireless functional test fixture Mechanical and automated hold-down: The CCI 1050 supports a wide variety of fixturing schemes, differing in complexity and investment. In a mechanical system the product is engaged `into the spring probes by an operator actuated linear mechanical linkage. In an automated fixture, such as pneumatic, the product is engaged into the spring probes using pneumatic drive cylinders. Proper fixture design is key to distributing the spring probe forces during product engagement. www.circuitcheck.com 4
