Abstract
The necessity for the power supply in a hospital becomes higher with the hospital becomes larger. Large hospitals for advanced medicine can perform neither inspections nor operations without an electric power supply. However, the usage of the power supply in a hospital has much of variably, and claims also differ according to usage. Considering to the necessity for the capacity, stability, the backup at the time of a power failure, and surveillance of use situation etc., we think it is necessary to divide the power supply according to usage.
Especially, as computers have been installed into the hospitals, the power supply for medical equipment and the power supply for computers should be dissociated completely. Therefore, here we explain the following points of the clinical power supply, claims postulated needed for the classification according to use and each of the power supply in a medical institution, notes on each usage, and backups.
