Original Press Release:
Tripp Lite Introduces the First Medical-Grade Power Strip with Full UL 60601-1/60950-1 Compliance
Chicago, IL (October 16, 2006)- Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power distribution and power protection equipment, is pleased to introduce the first Medical-Grade Power Strip with full UL 60601-1/60950-1 compliance (Model: PS-415-HGULTRA) to its line of hospital/medical-grade products.
The PS-415-HGULTRA features a patent-pending, internal site-wiring fault protection circuit that prevents power to its outlets if it detects a missing ground, reversed polarities or an open line. "Additionally, the PS-415-HGULTRA is convenient because it does not require the user to reset the unit to restore power," said Jim Folk, Tripp Lite Executive Vice President. "The power strip automatically restores power when it verifies that no line faults exist."
Tripp Lite's new medical-grade power strip, tested to U.S. and Canadian safety standards, is the first of its kind to be agency approved for use in medical facilities. Where built-in outlets are limited, the PS-415-HGULTRA provides an effective power distribution solution with four NEMA 5-15R hospital-grade receptacles. This permits multiple items of electrical equipment to be operated in rooms with only a single duplex outlet, enabling physicians' offices, imaging centers, laboratories and medical facilities to serve their patients better by making more efficient use of available space.
The PS-415-HGULTRA power strip also features a rugged, all-metal case, a 15-foot AC power cord with NEMA 5-15P hospital-grade plug, a resettable circuit breaker, and a switchless design to prevent accidental shutoff. Locking outlet safety covers (integrated to prevent accidental loss) guard against contact with unused outlets. Keyhole slots and flanges allow the PS-415-HGULTRA to be mounted to a variety of surfaces. A diagnostic LED indicates that power is present (with no ground faults or line/neutral reversals).
