UL 1410

[George@Lawshe.com]

I am retired now, but while working my company installed Television Receivers in Hospital Patient Rooms through out the United States.
A cardinal rule was we could only install TVs in Hospital Patient Rooms that were listed under UL 1410, Someplace I read UL 1410 was upgraded to UL 1492.s
The listing required a 3 hospital approved prong plug, transformer type power supply, a pillow speaker socket for sound and channel change, and several other safety features.

Is this listing still current?

A friend recently told me a standard consumer TV could be used in a Hospital Patient Room. Is this true?

Do they still have wired pillow speakers? That would be the only factor that would concern me because of patient contact and a metallic path back to the TV. Everybody uses cordless remote controls so no problem there.
