Embodiment Construction

[0030] A surgical device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a printed circuit board having electronic components disposed within a sealed chamber to protect the electronic components from exposure to moisture during, for example, cleaning and / or sterilization procedures, wherein the surgical device May be exposed to heat, steam, chemicals and / or moisture. The electronic components of the surgical devices of the present disclosure are protected to prevent and / or resist tampering during multiple / repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles.

[0031] Although the present disclosure relates to printed circuit boards integrated on flex or flexible cables of surgical devices, it is contemplated that the principles of the present disclosure are equally applicable to a series of printed circuit boards (e.g., rigid printed circuit boards, such as FR4 circuit boards) and electronic components (eg, sensors).

Abstract

A method of assembling a sealed printed circuit board comprising: securing a first end portion of a wall of a cap to a substrate around an electrical contact area of ​​the substrate, the wall including a second end portion arranged in an open configuration; an electronic component is mounted to the electrical contact area of ​​the substrate; and the second end portion of the wall is partially closed to form a sealed chamber between the substrate and the cap to enclose the electronic component sealed in it.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 508,101, filed May 18, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to reusable surgical devices. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to powered surgical devices having enhanced durability and increased moisture resistance. Background technique [0004] Powered surgical devices include electronic components, such as printed circuit boards, switches, sensors, etc., to enhance the control of the function of the surgical device. The intelligence of such surgical devices results in higher product costs compared to currently available disposable units. Therefore, it would be beneficial if such smart devices were reusable. [0005] Reusable surgical devices must be cleaned and sterilized prior to subsequent use. However,...
