Why would you want or think you need one?oK...I still don't understand why an isolated ground outlet shall not be installed in patient care vicinity.
No, there is no equipment that will need an isolated ground in a patient care area, actually there is almost no equipment anywhere that needs an isolated ground.I am thinking we might need a dedicated outlet with dedicated ground for some of the medical equipment such as EKG, EMG etc
You're welcome. The facility should have their Bio Med people check the units, the problem would be in the equipment. Most facilities (I thought all) have analyzers to test equipment on a regular basis. If the facility is JCAHO accredited they should be keeping records of these tests.Thanks Roger!
But one of my colleague said that his clients had issue with using EKG or EMG in one of his previous designs. The instrument wasn't giving a proper reading. So he thinks that I should provide a dedicated ground for a dedicated outlet, instead of providing an isolated ground outlet.
