Understanding your challenges

At KUP we understand that the key challenges in healthcare power protection include:

  • Compliance with multiple guidelines, regulations and healthcare specific standards including HTM-06-01
  • Defining where IPS, UPS and Emergency Lighting systems are needed or can be appropriately located, especially on legacy estates

The Importance of Medical UPS in Hospitals

In addition to regulations and safety, UPS for hospitals and healthcare estates are essential because they provide critical resilience to life-saving medical and healthcare equipment and systems. In environments where even a momentary power disruption can compromise patient care or halt essential services, an uninterruptible power supply ensures seamless continuity. From operating theatres and intensive care units to diagnostic equipment and laboratory services, a reliable UPS solution safeguards vital operations, supporting both compliance and the delivery of exceptional patient outcomes.

In healthcare environments, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems are mission critical. Even a brief power outage can put patient safety, staff operations, and vital equipment at risk. The following systems rely on UPS to guarantee continuity, compliance, and protection:

  • Life-Support Equipment
    Ventilators, infusion pumps, defibrillators, and dialysis machines must run continuously—any interruption could endanger lives.
  • Operating Theatres & Critical Care Units
    Surgical lighting, monitoring systems, and anesthesia delivery equipment require clean, stable power to maintain precision during procedures.
  • Diagnostic Imaging Systems
    MRI scanners, CT machines, X-rays, and ultrasound devices need uninterrupted power to protect expensive hardware and prevent data corruption.
  • Laboratory & Pathology Equipment
    Automated testing systems, refrigeration units, and sample storage depend on reliable power to safeguard research integrity and patient results.
  • Electronic Health Records (EHR) & IT Infrastructure
    Hospitals rely on servers, databases, and secure networks for patient records, prescriptions, and scheduling. UPS ensures continuity and data security.
  • Pharmacy Systems
    Automated dispensing machines and controlled drug storage units must remain operational to support timely and safe medication delivery.
  • Environmental & Building Systems
    HVAC, air filtration, and negative pressure rooms depend on UPS to maintain infection control and safe working conditions.
  • Emergency Lighting & Security
    Reliable power for evacuation routes, access control, and CCTV is essential for patient and staff safety in a crisis.
