-
Power systems designed to provide energy to equipment, devices, and/or instruments in a given area of a healthcare facility. Power systems may be intended to provide electric power under special conditions (e.g., isolated systems for operating rooms), as alternative sources of energy (e.g., solar panels), or when a line power supply is not available or fails (e.g., emergency systems for blackout periods). Other power systems are intended to provide electrical, mechanical, and/or other form of energy (e.g., ultrasonic, pneumatic) for particular applications such as surgical, orthopedic, or dental procedures.
