In medical environments, electrical safety is non-negotiable. Every electrical component, from monitors to cables to patient beds, must meet strict performance requirements to help protect patients and healthcare personnel. In hospital patient-care areas, electrical equipment is subject to enhanced requirements, including the use of hospital-grade attachment plugs and receptacles where required by applicable test and installation standards. Hospital-grade power cords are designed and tested to meet these requirements and are identified by distinctive “Hospital Grade” markings.

The Auto-Lock®: Guaranteeing a Steadfast Connection
Some people have two left feet. I believe that I have two left feet and a third invisible foot that exists only to trip me in very important moments. It’s an issue. During my senior prom, while showing off my signature Hammer moves, I tripped and unplugged the DJ booth and all of the lights, resulting in complete darkness and silence for about ten minutes. In college, while rushing to finish a project, I tripped over a power cord in the computer lab which turned off every single computer, resulting in a sprint for my life as a mob of caffeinated procrastinators chased me through the quad at 3 am. I have ruined countless presentations, proposals, and parties.

The OEM marketplace is well aware of the necessity of power supply. But how do you guarantee this? Continue reading The Auto-Lock®: Guaranteeing a Steadfast Connection
