What’s it all about?

• Hospital Isolated (ungrounded) Power SystemsIsolation Systems are commonly used for protection against electrical shocks in many areas of the hospital, including operating rooms, intensive care units, cardiac catheterization labs and emergency rooms.

  The main advantage over grounded systems is that power to life sustaining equipment will not be interrupted in the event of a ground fault -and will not put the patient in jeopardy either…Often, these systems are required by code.

• Power Quality Monitoring and Control SystemsPreserving accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) is usually a powerful incentive in itself to employ a power quality monitoring system. However other benefits may be just as important, such as trimming energy costs, providing departmental billings, monthly emergency generator testing reports, etc.

  Learn also how hospitals are using Variable Frequency Drives and Surge Suppressors to save energy and protect sensitive medical equipment.

• Hospital/Clinic Asset ManagementIn the Healthcare Industry, there are many concerns that arise from managing biomedical equipment. Tracking and managing mobile assets, complying with regulatory standards, guarding against liabilities that result when equipment fails, and managing an inventory of clinical equipment are some of the major issues.
• Healthcare Security SystemsHospital security presents a unique challenge. Think about of all the people who make up the typical hospital community – patients, physicians, staff, vendors, visitors, etc.

  What’s more, a hospital can be very large – sometimes spanning several buildings – has many rooms, expensive medical equipment, access to drugs and many entrances. Healthcare facilities need not only strong policies and procedures but also integrated security and fire protection systems.
