PIECO has been manufacturing ISOLATION PANEL for hospital use since 1992. Our isolation panels are capable of detecting any combination of dynamic, resistive and/or capactivite faults, including balanced, unbalanced, and hybrid faults.
Till date in many of the present working operational electrical system of O.T, ICU, ICCU it was not possible to read the electrical leakage's from the medical equipment's and fittings which is required to treat the patient in these sensitive wards. These electrical leakages are very harmful to the patient and to the expensive machinery.
The use of an Isolated Electric Power Supply System involves interposition of an isolation transformer between outside current and the electric outlets where patient monitoring devices are to be plugged in and the Leakage Monitoring has to be done. According to NPFA provision of an isolation Panel is mandatory.
Pieco has developed a system, which detects the leakages in the electrical systems of O.T, ICU, ICCU. The permissible leakage while treating the patient is 5 mille Amps (According to International standards) and beyond this it is hazardous. Our system continuously monitors the electrical leakage if it is there and will indicate (audio & visual). The person in-charge can take precaution and avert any accident.
The increased use of electronic diagnostic and treatment equipment, and the corresponding increase in electrical hazards, has resulted in the use of isolated ungrounded systems in new areas of the hospital. Isolating systems are now commonly used for protection against electrical shock in many areas, among them:
The major electrical accidents are due to faulty equipment and wiring. Electrical accidents fall into these categories:
Electrical shock is produced by current, not voltage. It is not the amount of voltage a person is exposed to, but rather the amount of current transmitted through the person's body that determines the intensity of a shock. The human body acts as a large resistor to current flow. The threshold of perception for an average adult is 1milliampere (mA). This amount of current will produce a slight tingling feeling through the fingertips. Between 10 and 20 mA, the person experiences muscle contractions and finds it more difficult to release his or her hand from an electrode. An externally applied current of 50 mA causes pain, possibly fainting and exhaustion.
LEAKAGE CURRENT
Electric equipment operating in the patient vicinity, even though operating perfectly, may still be hazardous to the patient. This is because every piece of electrical equipment produces a leakage current.
There are no perfect electrical systems or infallible equipment to eliminate hospital electrical accidents.
However careful planning on the part of the consulting engineer, architect, contractor and hospital personnel can reduce electrical hazards to nearly zero
DAMAGES DUE TO ELECTRICAL LEAKAGES
LINE ISOLATION MONITOR
Dependable operation of the essential electrical system is a must in operating theatres and intensive care areas where a single fault or a loss of power may be fatal. As surely as patients undergoing surgery rely on physicans, so do the physicans count on the reliability of the electrical system. The availability of a secure isolated power supply and clear information about the fault status of medical equipment are of paramount importance in achieving this goal. At the heart of the electrical system is the Line Isolation monitor ( LIM), which continously monitors the system and connected medical apparatus for abnormalities that could lead to hazardous ground leakage currents for the patient and staff.
