Know before you buy
Yes, this unit is UL 1363A compliant, meaning it is specifically engineered and tested for use in medical environments like operating rooms and mobile workstations.
The switchless design is a deliberate safety feature intended to prevent accidental power loss, which could be critical when powering sensitive medical equipment.
The anti-microbial protected surface helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi, making it a more hygienic choice for clinical settings where sanitation is a priority.
No, this unit features a NEMA 5-20P-HG hospital-grade plug, which requires a 20-amp medical-grade wall receptacle. It will not fit into a standard 15-amp residential outlet.
The integrated locking covers are designed to secure unused outlets, preventing debris from entering the sockets and ensuring that plugs cannot be accidentally pulled out during use.
The unit is equipped with dual 20A resettable circuit breakers. If an overload occurs, these breakers will trip to protect your equipment and can be easily reset once the load is adjusted.
