Our university research group worked with Tagus Consulting to develop custom PCBs for connecting high frequency analog signals from our scintillation detector modules to a new signal digitizer platform. Filipe was great to work with, meeting with us to understand our requirements and making valuable suggestions to create a final design from our initial sketches. The final PCBs were delivered on schedule, of high quality and worked as expected. Filipe’s experience with RF circuits and board assembly allowed us to significantly collapse timeframes for setting up data collection from our test system. We will definitely work with him again for our PCB design and fabrication needs.

Monteris Medical originally engaged Tagus Consulting to assist with our electrical designs as we did not have an Electrical Engineering resource in house. Our challenge was to develop an electro-mechanical system that needed to function within an MRI and meet all required standards and regulations. This was a very complicated project and Tagus not only designed the entire electrical system (cables, board layouts, schematics, etc), but also helped to identify suppliers, procure the necessary components, and assemble the first prototypes. They were able to use their expertise to their advantage and became a “one stop shop” for the entire electrical design. This allowed us to maintain an aggressive schedule and added a lot of efficiency to the overall project. Tagus also championed our successful regulatory testing on our complex electro-mechanical system.
I highly recommend Tagus Consulting.

This letter is about our recent experience with Tagus Consulting.
In our search for assistance with regards to the design of an electronic device we learned of Tagus Consulting through a mutual business friend.
After an initial meeting with owner Filipe Fernandes on the project scope and our needs, we proceeded to hire Tagus Consulting Ltd.
From that initial meeting, and through the entire process of design, prototyping, testing and production we were very pleased with the professional service they offered, in all aspects.
Their knowledge, expertise, and efficiency during this project was exactly what we were looking for and they consistently met or exceeded our expectations.
I would highly recommend Tagus Consulting Ltd., and look forward to working with them on our future projects.

Filipe played an instrumental role in the early design and verification of the NeuroBlate System originally developed by Monteris Medical in Winnipeg. Filipe brought expert electrical design and development knowledge to the electrical subsystems critical to the success of the NeuroBlate MR guided laser delivery device. The electrical design and particularly its characterization within the demanding RF environment of a clinical MR scanner was pivotal in Monteris achieving early regulatory clearance of first the AutoLITT and later NeuroBlate system. Filipe brought a wealth of RF design experience necessary for successful implementation and compatibility of various PCB and electro-mechanical devices required to operate within the harsh MR environment. His expertise in troubleshooting and performance evaluation in the lifecycle of the electrical design for nearly 15 yrs is testimony to his significant contribution to our product development.
