UPS Systems for Hospitals

Sophisticated medical equipment is engaged in hospitals to cure ailments and save the lives of patients. Machines such as cardiac cauterization systems , clinical analyzers and surgical OT room equipment are very sensitive to disruptions in power quality. Should this equipment fail due to power outage, diagnosis and treatment critical to patients will be halted.

The Role of UPS systems in Hospitals

Power related issues in hospitals mostly include local power outages. Some medical devices might have a battery backup of up to 90 minutes, but most devices don’t have a backup. If the hospital does not have power backup, patients on life support could face a serious situation.

A UPS used in hospitals should typically be capable of carrying 25% more load than what the hospital needs it to carry. Hospitals do have generators to withstand long power outages, but they take a few seconds to start. In that time, having a power backup is critical. A UPS system is essential for uninterrupted power feed to operation theaters and post-operative rooms.
