Power Conditioning for Medical Applications
Medical Imaging and Oncology Treatment
Healthcare organizations invest millions of dollars in medical imaging and oncology equipment to offer state-of-the-art treatment because it’s important to the patient and the reputation of the healthcare providers. When power quality problems damage this equipment or cause it to malfunction, it can be more than a scheduling inconvenience it can be detrimental to the patients treatment. This is why medical imaging and oncology equipment OEMs require or recommend power conditioning.
Medical imaging and oncology units often require high inrush currents that can damage the power conditioners that are supposed to protect them. Only a power conditioner designed for high overloads should be used in these applications. UPS products and many electronic voltage regulators may be substantially oversized to handle the inrush currents, but these units are still being overstressed every time the medical imaging or oncology unit operates.
With so much riding on the reliability of medical imaging and oncology units, it only makes sense to use a power conditioner that is designed to handle the power characteristics of this type of equipment.
Let us show you or your consulting engineer how to make sure your medical imaging and oncology application gets the most reliable power conditioner.
