Abstract
An Assessment of the Electric Power Quality and Electrical Installation Impacts on Medical Electrical Equipment Operations at Health Care Facilities
Highlights
Today advances in technology and development of medicine have been promoting great benefits to human health around the world
This study presents some test results obtained in a research laboratory on possible wrong medical diagnosis or risks to patient life based on electrical equipment fed in electrical power networks, which do not comply with the standards or are completely disturbed by other pieces of equipment typical of health-medical environments
Technological advance is implying a greater use of sensitive equipment in all segments of society, but detrimental regarding aspects related to quality of electrical power
Summary
Today advances in technology and development of medicine have been promoting great benefits to human health around the world. In Brazil, to guarantee the safety of patients and to have reliable results, a medical equipment to be commercialized need to be registered at sanitary agency of the ministry of health, after being attested that it complies with applicable or mandatory national and international technical standards. A very important issue not too much stressed is to consider the electric power quality and the electrical installation within the health medical environments. This study presents some test results obtained in a research laboratory on possible wrong medical diagnosis or risks to patient life based on electrical equipment fed in electrical power networks, which do not comply with the standards or are completely disturbed by other pieces of equipment typical of health-medical environments
