Medical Cable Assembly
OEM manufacturing services for patient monitoring and diagnostic cable assemblies — ISO 13485 certified, validated processes, full testing.
What is Medical Cable Assembly?
Medical cable assembly is the manufacturing process of building finished cable products from conductors, insulation, connectors, strain relief, and labeling — ready for integration into OEM medical devices. It differs from buying components alone: the manufacturer owns termination, over-molding, testing, packaging, and lot-level traceability.
Assemblies may be custom-designed to your drawings or built to proven standard configurations. Common types include ECG leadwires, SpO₂ sensor and extension cables, NIBP tubing and hose assemblies, temperature probe cables, and multi-parameter patient monitoring interconnects.
Medical Cable Assembly Capabilities
Orantech provides end-to-end OEM medical cable assembly services for patient monitoring and diagnostic equipment:
- Wire preparation: stripping, tinning, and termination to drawing
- Connector assembly: soldering, crimping, over-molding, and IDC
- Strain relief integration: heat-shrink, injection-molded, or mechanical
- Cable jacketing: custom colors, labeling, and length specifications
- Testing and validation: electrical, mechanical, and functional checks
- Packaging: ESD-safe, sterile options where required, bulk or individual pack
Early design collaboration improves manufacturability — see our Design for Manufacturing guide and process overview.
Assembly Process Overview
- Design review — engineering collaboration with OEM partners
- Material sourcing — qualified suppliers and incoming inspection
- Assembly — validated processes, trained operators, documented work instructions
- Testing — automated and manual procedures against acceptance criteria
- Packaging & labeling — custom packaging per OEM requirements
- Documentation — certificate of conformance, test data, and traceability records
Quality Control in Assembly
Quality is built into every lot under an ISO 13485 quality management system:
- In-process inspections at critical operations
- Final electrical testing (continuity, insulation resistance, hi-pot)
- Mechanical testing (pull strength, flex cycles)
- Visual inspection against defined criteria
- Statistical process control (SPC) where production volume requires it
- Lot control and material-to-finished-goods traceability
