Medical Device Electronic Components

The Medical Device Sourcing Challenge

Medical device BOMs are often frozen at FDA clearance — changing a component requires a design change assessment, updated risk analysis, and potentially new testing or a 510(k) submission. The result is that medical OEMs continue to need components that the market considers obsolete, long after a commercial OEM would have redesigned around a replacement.

RH Electronics specializes in exactly this situation: sourcing components that are no longer in mainstream distribution, with the documentation and traceability that a design history file requires.

What We Provide for Medical OEMs

📄

Traceability Documentation

Lot traceability, date codes, and manufacturer documentation preserved and provided with every shipment.

✅

Certificate of Conformance

CoC with every shipment — part number, quantity, lot information, and ISO 9001:2015 quality statement.

🔬

Inspection & Verification

Every shipment inspected on receipt. Lab testing through accredited independent labs when required.

📅

Obsolescence Planning

Proactive identification of EOL risk on your BOM before a PCN becomes a crisis.

Can you support FDA-regulated medical device programs?

Yes. We provide the traceability documentation, Certificates of Conformance, and inspection records that medical device design history files require. We have supported medical OEMs since 1982 under our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.

Can you source obsolete components that were frozen into a cleared design?

Yes — this is one of the most common medical device sourcing requests we handle. We source discontinued components, remaining end-of-life stock, and qualified alternates for designs where the original part has been discontinued but the device is still in production or in the field.

Do you provide lot traceability documentation?

Yes. We provide manufacturer-provided lot documentation, date codes, and CoC with every shipment. When manufacturer documentation is required by contract or customer PO, we maintain it as received and provide it with the shipment.
