Medical Equipment Acoustic Applications

Medical equipment can emit high and low frequency noises from a number of device sources such as motors, compressors, fans, and fluid flow. The low ambient noise environment in which this type of equipment operates is sensitive to any unwanted sounds that could disrupt the space. Soundcoat has the unique mix of engineering and lab testing capabilities, experience and product offerings to meet an OEM's acoustic design goals and requirements.

Acoustic solutions for medical equipment from the inside out

Medical devices such as oxygen concentrators, fluid management equipment and laboratory diagnostic systems often produce audible noise during operation, which can lead to an uncomfortable space. Additionally, vibrations from these devices may transfer to nearby surfaces, amplifying the noise and further creating an uncomfortable environment for the occupants. It is incredibly important for these devices to have a focus on low noise as they can influence and disrupt worker, patient and care environments.

By utilizing our advanced predictive analysis and acoustic modeling tools, Soundcoat can help OEMs to optimize designs early in the process.  Once noise sources are identified, equipment can be engineered with 2D and 3D foam-molded acoustic parts. Utilizing Soundcoat’s hemi-anechoic chamber for testing of the final designs will ensure customer noise targets are met and the customer is offering the quietest products to the market.
