Toroidal transformers feature a closed magnetic core that naturally confines the magnetic field within it. This reduces stray fields and minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI). Their symmetrical winding also helps eliminate buzz or mechanical hum, making them ideal for quiet, EMI-sensitive environments such as hospitals and labs.

Amgis MEDBOX transformers are specifically designed and UL-listed for medical isolation applications. Key benefits include:

• UL Listing: Certified to UL 60601 standards for use in medical environments.
• Enclosed design: Offers enhanced protection and ease of integration into medical cabinets or systems.
• Quiet performance: Reduces audible noise in patient care areas.
• Multiple VA ratings: Available from 300 VA to 1800 VA to accommodate a wide range of medical devices.
• Reliable isolation: Designed to minimize leakage current and meet stringent patient safety requirements.

Medical transformers must comply with globally recognized standards to ensure safe operation. Key certifications include:

• UL 60601-1: U.S. standard for the safety of medical electrical equipment.
• IEC 60601-1: International safety standard for medical devices.
• CB Test Certificate: Enables acceptance of components in global markets under the IECEE framework.
• UL Listed or UL Recognized: Demonstrates compliance with rigorous electrical and mechanical testing.

A medical-grade toroidal transformer is an electrical isolation device specifically designed for use in patient-connected medical equipment. These transformers are built to meet strict safety and regulatory standards, such as UL 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1, which govern leakage current, insulation, and reliability. Their toroidal (doughnut-shaped) core minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and audible noise, key considerations in hospital and clinical environments.

UL 60601-1 is a safety standard that outlines the requirements for electrical medical equipment used in patient care. It governs aspects such as insulation, leakage current, mechanical strength, and flammability. Compliance with UL 60601-1 is essential for manufacturers who want to sell their medical devices in the U.S. and many global markets.

Amgis combines deep engineering expertise with ISO-certified U.S. manufacturing, making it a trusted partner for medical OEMs. Our key differentiators include:

• UL-listed and IEC-compliant products designed for medical-grade performance.
• Custom transformer design services with fast turnaround on prototypes and production.
• Quiet, compact toroidal designs ideal for sensitive environments.
• Responsive customer support from consultation to post-delivery.
• Domestic manufacturing for better lead times, quality control, and regulatory alignment.

Whether you need a standard medical isolation transformer or a complex custom solution, Amgis delivers reliable, patient-safe products that meet the most demanding specifications.

Toroidal transformers are used in a wide range of diagnostic, monitoring, and therapeutic equipment, including:

• MRI and CT scanners
• X-ray and ultrasound systems
• Patient monitors
• Infusion pumps and dialysis machines
• Surgical tools and imaging consoles

These transformers support stable, clean power delivery and protect patients and equipment from electrical faults.

Toroidal transformers offer several technical and functional advantages that make them ideal for medical applications, including:

• Low electromagnetic interference (EMI): The closed-loop core design minimizes radiated noise that can disrupt sensitive medical electronics.
• Compact size: Their efficient core geometry allows for smaller footprints, ideal for portable or space-constrained medical devices.
• Superior efficiency: Lower core losses translate into less heat generation, helping maintain equipment longevity and performance.
• Quiet operation: With reduced mechanical hum, toroidal transformers are ideal for environments requiring minimal audible noise, such as operating rooms and intensive care units.
• Enhanced safety: Their design supports lower leakage currents, essential for patient-connected devices.

Electrical isolation is critical in medical environments to protect patients and caregivers from dangerous leakage currents or equipment malfunctions. This is especially important in:

• Patient-connected devices, where even low-level current can pose serious risks.
• Diagnostic and imaging equipment, which requires precise, interference-free power.
• Emergency and critical care settings, where equipment failure can be life-threatening.

Isolated transformers, such as those from Amgis, help ensure compliance with UL 60601-1 standards and promote safer, more reliable operation.
