Medical Devices and Biotech in Melbourne, Florida

Nine device firms with a Melbourne, FL address are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Sun Nuclear Corporation accounts for about half of their product listings.

The counts come from the FDA's public registration and listing data, which returned 45 Melbourne listing records for a query on registration city MELBOURNE and state code FL; the data were last updated October 5, 2026 (openFDA count by firm; openFDA Melbourne records). A listing record is one product group at one establishment, so the counts measure how many product lines a firm has on file, not its size.

The FDA record gives a mailing city. A Melbourne, FL address in the database does not by itself show whether a site lies inside the City of Melbourne's limits, and companies registered under Palm Bay, West Melbourne or Rockledge addresses are not in this table.

Sun Nuclear Corporation, on Suntree Boulevard, makes radiation measurement and quality assurance instruments used by diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy centers, and it has been owned by Mirion Technologies since December 18, 2020.

Mirion's 2021 registration statement describes Sun Nuclear as headquartered in Melbourne, FL, and says the company manufactures and provides radiation measurement and quality assurance medical instrumentation and services; the same filing dates Mirion's purchase of all of Sun Nuclear's shares to December 18, 2020 (Mirion Form S-4). In its 2024 annual report Mirion lists Sun Nuclear among the acquisitions that took its Medical segment into radiotherapy markets, and it cites the Sun Nuclear factory in Florida as one of its facilities in a hurricane zone (Mirion 10-K for 2024).

The FDA listings show what that Melbourne factory files products under. Sun Nuclear's records include the device category for radiologic quality assurance instruments, product names such as ArcCHECK-MR, and a group of test phantoms including MapPHAN and StereoPHAN, all with the Melbourne establishment registered as the manufacturer (openFDA Melbourne records).

Counting both spellings, Sun Nuclear is also the most frequent Melbourne name in the FDA premarket notification database, queried for applicant city MELBOURNE and state FL and counted by applicant name: 13 510(k) records under Sun Nuclear Corp. and 11 under Sun Nuclear Corporation, 24 in all (openFDA 510(k) counts).

The other Melbourne registrants are specialist firms with one to five listings each: Airon Corporation lists the pNeuton ventilator, LGM International lists laboratory processing kits, and two firms build devices under contract for other companies.

Airon Corporation, at 751 North Dr, lists the pNeuton Ventilator and breathing circuit products with its Melbourne site registered as a manufacturer (openFDA Melbourne records). LGM International, at 295 North Dr, lists LIQUI-PREP cytology processing kits along with fixatives, reagents and a pipetting station for clinical laboratories. Kalogon Inc., at 300 North Dr, lists wheelchair cushions and components. North Drive therefore holds three of the nine registered firms.

Two Melbourne registrants make products that carry another company's name. C2C Development, LLC, on W NASA Blvd, and Trinetics Group, on Skyway Circle, are both registered as contract manufacturers making devices for another party; Trinetics' listing is for general surgical hand instruments (openFDA Melbourne records). Contec Americas, on Sarno Rd, is registered only to repack or relabel a dental CAD/CAM impression system, and I Brain Robotics, on N Wickham Rd, lists microsurgical cameras and instrument motors.

Medicomp, Inc., at 600 Atlantis Rd, lists the TelePatch Cardiac Monitor and ambulatory electrocardiograph products, with some of its Melbourne records registered as developing specifications but not manufacturing at that facility (openFDA Melbourne records). Medicomp has 9 Melbourne 510(k) records and Airon 4 (openFDA 510(k) counts).

Brevard County, which includes Melbourne, averaged just 168 private jobs in medical equipment and supplies manufacturing in 2025, at 20 establishments, according to federal wage records.

Each row is a 2025 annual average in the BLS county wage census file for Brevard County (BLS QCEW 2025). Dental laboratories make up 115 of the 168 jobs in the medical equipment group, so the device makers in the FDA table above employ a small share of the county total. Brevard's employment location quotient for medical equipment manufacturing is 0.33, meaning the county has about a third of the national share of jobs in the industry.

The precision instrument makers that fit Sun Nuclear's line of work are hidden by disclosure rules. Electromedical apparatus manufacturing and irradiation apparatus manufacturing each show 2 Brevard establishments, with jobs and wages marked not disclosed in the file (BLS QCEW 2025). QCEW counts the county, not the city, and no official series isolates Melbourne.

Biotech in the Melbourne area is small: Brevard County had 13 biotechnology research establishments and 61 pharmaceutical manufacturing jobs in 2025, and no biotech or medical device company is among Melbourne's ten largest employers.

The 13 Brevard establishments in biotechnology research and development reported employment the BLS does not disclose, and pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing had 7 establishments and 61 jobs paying an average of $111,573 (BLS QCEW 2025). In the City of Melbourne's fiscal 2025 principal employer schedule, the largest science and health names are Florida Institute of Technology, with 2,510 employees, and Health First, with 2,371; the remaining top ten are Northrop Grumman, the School Board of Brevard County, L3Harris Technologies, Rockwell Collins, the City of Melbourne, Walmart, MC Assembly and WABTEC Transportation System (City of Melbourne ACFR 2025).

Florida Tech offers degree training in the field in Melbourne. Its College of Engineering and Science includes a Department of Biomedical Engineering and Science (Florida Tech College of Engineering and Science), and the university's Biomedical Engineering B.S. page describes a degree combining biology and engineering with experience in biomedical instrumentation and biomechanics (Florida Tech Biomedical Engineering). The campus address Florida Tech gives is 150 W. University Blvd., Melbourne, FL 32901 (Florida Tech).

Each Melbourne device firm's registration, product categories and 510(k) history can be read in the FDA's public openFDA data, which shows all 45 Melbourne listing records with a registration expiry year of 2026.

The registration record names the establishment type (manufacturer, contract manufacturer, specification developer or relabeler), the street address and the FDA device categories it lists (openFDA Melbourne records). Establishments that produce or distribute medical devices for the U.S. market must register annually with the FDA under 21 CFR Part 807 (FDA device registration and listing). Premarket notifications for specific devices sit in a separate 510(k) database, where the Melbourne applicant list also includes companies that no longer appear in the current registration data, such as Image-Guided Neurologics, with 21 records, and Witt Biomedical, with 10 across two spellings (openFDA 510(k) counts).

The openFDA disclaimer tells users to assume all results are unvalidated, so any Melbourne firm's status is best confirmed in the FDA's own registration search (FDA device registration and listing). Last verified: October 18, 2026, against openFDA device data updated October 5, 2026, the BLS QCEW 2025 file and SEC EDGAR.
