Both the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) and The Joint Commission
inspect and survey to requirements in NFPA 99.
Leviton’s load monitoring med-strip with Inform
technology is the only solution on the market
addressing the challenge of overseeing ampacity
in hospital power strips.
In a patient care area, dierent devices are plugged
into med-strips, including heart monitors, oxygen
pumps, fluid heaters, and other vital machines. Some
devices draw far higher amperages than others.
These innovative Medical Grade Power Strips
with Inform technology monitor the load of
connected devices so that you don’t have
to, eliminating all the challenges of manual
calculation. When the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 99: Health Care Facilities
Code current limit has been exceeded, a
line-of-sight alert LED activates, providing a
real-time indicator to make a change. It’s a
simple, ecient, and convenient way to
improve code compliance and electrical
safety in health care facilities.
