Tripp Lite, a manufacturer of power protection and connectivity solutions, now features medical-grade UPS systems with mutable alarms. These UPS systems are ideal for use in hospitals and clinics needing to improve critical alarm management, creating a quieter environment for the benefit of patients and staff.
As the use of technology has grown in health care environments, the number of alarms sounding in hospital units has increased dramatically. Tripp Lite’s medical-grade UPS systems feature alarm mute/alarm quiet modes, helping to ensure patients are not disturbed when the device – rather than the patient – needs attention. Silencing non-actionable alarms also reduces occupational stress and “alarm fatigue” on clinicians, enabling hospital staff to focus on performing critical patient care responsibilities.
Tripp Lite’s medical-grade UPS systems comply with UL 60601-1 specifications, making them approved for use both inside and outside patient-care vicinities.
Key features of Tripp Lite’s Medical-Grade UPS Systems include:
- battery backup and surge protection
- mutable alarm helps improve critical alarm management and creates a quieter environment for patients
- built-in isolation transformer with Faraday shield
- hospital-grade plugs and outlets
“Alarm management is a key aspect of patient safety gaining increased focus,” said Jim Folk, Tripp Lite’s Director of Healthcare Solutions. “Our medical-grade UPS systems help reduce negative impacts on patients trying to rest and on clinicians focused on providing quality care.”
