Power cords used in hospitals and other medical settings must conform to strict standards for grounding reliability; assembly integrity; strength; and durability; as well as regulatory standards such as NEMA and IEC specifications. These standards are in place to ensure that power cords are safe and reliable for use in demanding hospital environments. The female C13 connector plugs directly into the device while the male hospital grade 5-15P connector plugs into a hospital grade supply outlet. The clear connectors work with almost any environment or hospital standard. Easily recognizable with the Green Dot mark; this hospital grade power cord ensures compliance and delivers maximum performance.
