Hospitals and Medical facilities are concerned with the maintenance, operation and efficiency of their electrical systems. With many of the same power quality and energy management issues as any other large facility, Medical facilities often also contain a dedicated Data Center for its IT needs, and their own backup or emergency generators or power grids. But most healthcare facilities also have mission-critical electrical requirements, as well as safety and liability to be concerned with.

  • Reliability is Paramount

Medical electronic equipment in use may be keeping patients alive, and there is simply no room for a power interruption. Reliability is a main concern

  • Reveal How, When and Where Energy is Used

Monitoring energy usage and efficiency will reveal how, where and when energy is used, providing the details needed for cost allocation and usage improvements.

Operating in a 24×7 environment means there is no time to be down. Even with back-up and emergency generators in place, reliability can be a large concern. Medical electronic equipment in use may be keeping patients alive, and there is simply no room for a power interruption. Further, when variable power sources create inconsistent demand, power quality can be compromised, which can then cause sub-optimal equipment operations and costly damage to sensitive equipment.

Dranetz Encore Series is a modular, scalable solution that can help provide the tools you need to take a proactive approach to monitoring the health of your facility’s electrical system. Continuous monitoring can help minimize the risk of power outages by detecting deterioration in power quality before the power infrastructure or other equipment problems occur. But when troubleshooting a problem is necessary, Dranetz handheld and portable instruments are typically the best choice to take into the field and investigate or collect data as needed.

Many factors contribute to the increased danger of exposure to electrical current in a hospital setting. Most obviously, medical electronic equipment such as patient monitors, defibrillators and other medical equipment having applied parts or electrical patient connections. Electro-medical patient equipment must be properly bonded and grounded which requires testing before installation, after equipment servicing, and periodically particularly in high usage and aging equipment. When patient safety is at stake, Dranetz provides superior safety testing equipment you can trust, to perform ground bond, leakage and HiPot testing.

The risks of patient injury due to current leakage or malfunctioning equipment can be reduced by regular electrical safety testing. Many medical facilities have biomedical engineers who perform safety testing to reduce the liability and risks associated with patient safety. Dranetz provides portable safety testers that meet global standards, and are portable so they can be taken from room to room of a facility.

Increase energy efficiency, reduce power quality problems, increase patient safety, reduce liability — Dranetz can help you decide the configuration that is right for your medical facility.
