UPS Power Supply for Medical Equipment & Healthcare Facilities
Ensure a clean, continuous power supply to your medical equipment
Patient care is your number one priority. That means protecting patient care technology is a close second.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is essential to the performance of medical equipment by:
- Delivering reliable backup power in the event of an outage until the generator comes online
- Smoothing out potentially damaging surges and sags.
Doctors, nurses, and patients rely on the critical information sensitive machines provide and often cannot wait for them to restart after a power surge or outage.
UPS power conditioning ensures a constant, non-fluctuating power supply to prevent damage to medical equipment and maintain accurate readings and test results.
Mitsubishi Electric UPS systems for medical equipment deliver critical backup power and conditioning to:
Diagnostics & Imaging
- CT Scanners and MRI Machinery use x-rays and magnetic fields to create detailed internal images of the body. These are massive capital investments with sensitive electronics.
- For an MRI, power is needed for the cooling systems that prevent the liquid helium from quenching (or boiling off), which can be very costly to fix.
- For CT, a power surge during a high-speed rotation can destroy the x-ray tube altogether.
- Laboratory Analyzers are automated systems that test blood, urine and tissue samples for infections, chemical imbalances, or cancer markers. Tests can take hours. A power interruption often invalidates the entire batch of tests, wasting expensive chemical reagents and even delaying diagnoses for patients.
Patient Monitoring & Data Infrastructure
- Vital Sign & Patient Telemetry Monitors continuously track heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels, sending alerts to critical care teams. If power fails, nurses cannot see if a patient is having an emergency in a room down the hall. A UPS ensures the wireless network and the monitors never stop communicating.
- Electronic Health Records (EHR) Workstations house the digital repository for all patient history, medication orders and allergies. If a workstation shuts down while a doctor is entering a medication dose, that order might not be sent. This can lead to patients receiving incorrect doses or missing doses outright.
Critical Support
- Medical Refrigeration stores temperature-sensitive items like vaccines, insulin, chemotherapy drugs, and units of blood for transfusions. Many biological products can spoil if they vary by even a few degrees for a brief period. A UPS keeps the temperature sensors and alarms running until the backup generator stabilizes cooling compressors.
- An effective Emergency Lighting system is vital for the continuation of critical care and the safe evacuation of occupants during emergency situations.
