High current H-minus cyclotrons (>1000 micro-Ampere) are being developed and implemented for radioisotope production, radioactive therapeutic implants and other applications. The beam dynamics and general physics design of these cyclotron systems must be well done. However, in order not to compromise an elegant and effective physics design, practical engineering considerations must be carefully considered and then implemented. Based on our experience in the design, upgrading, and maintenance of commercial H-minus cyclotron systems, we offer "best practices" to be considered in the engineering design and implementations of such systems.
