The variety of options available today for choosing the right battery backup power solution for your healthcare facility is more comprehensive than ever. While it might seem that selecting the perfect system for your practice should be simple, sorting through the abundance of available information can be challenging.
Although many systems may appear similar—especially when designed for safe indoor use—significant differences in performance can impact their suitability for specific healthcare needs. For instance, a cheaper battery backup might not provide the necessary startup power for critical medical devices, may not run equipment for the required duration, or could be too cumbersome to move around efficiently. In a surgery environment, these shortcomings could lead to dangerous or life-threatening situations if devices fail during use.
To help facilities make informed decisions, we’ve compiled a detailed guide addressing the most common questions regarding competing battery backup solutions. This guide will allow healthcare providers to compare features and ensure that the chosen system meets their unique needs while maintaining operational safety.
Gene force Power Backup Systems Review:
Gene Force is a strong contender for backup power solutions, particularly for healthcare facilities like surgery centers. Their product lines are known for reliable performance and a solid price-to-value ratio. However, their systems all come in a singular form factor, which varies in size depending on the power capacity. This could limit flexibility in terms of placement, as they may require significant floor space and lack mounting options.
Additionally, while Gene Force systems offer extended run times, they do not have hardwiring solutions, which can limit deployment options due to their rigid cabinet designs. It's also essential to ensure that the system's components and batteries are of premium grade to ensure optimal performance and durability.
While Gene Force offers value, healthcare facilities should carefully assess these limitations when considering the system's specific backup power needs.
Temp Armour Refrigerator Review:
While technically offering an uninterruptable power supply for sale in their lineup—under the name Power hub—Temp Armour’s bread and butter lies in their line of purpose-built refrigerators for vaccines and VFC-compliant freezers that boast the ability to maintain safe holding temperatures for days in the event of a power outage—up to six for the Temp Armour Refrigerator and four days in the case of their freezer.
These offerings are attractive for facilities solely looking to replace their older appliances with newer, more efficient ones that already have a backup generator solution.
Additionally, the Temp Armour vaccine carrier is a pretty enticing option for a facility looking for the best vaccine transport container. Whether moving your supply between buildings/rooms daily or during an emergency, their portable vaccine carrier—similar to their refrigerator—can maintain temperatures of 2-8ۣ°C for up to 3 days.
However, while they can maintain their temperature for days in an outage situation, the appliances cannot be opened, and their contents are inaccessible during these emergencies. Repeated exposure to ambient air will cause the contents to fall out of safe temperature ranges. Access must be restricted because these temperatures are achieved by advanced insulation technology instead of by powering the compressors, which would generally allow the appliance to continue to produce and cycle cold air throughout.
The most significant drawback to protecting your vaccines and pharmaceuticals in this manner is the lack of space available in the refrigerators’ storage cabinets—it may be less than your inventory requires, limiting how much you can keep on hand.
Backupbatterypower.com UPS and Backup System Review:
Battery Backup Power’s UPS system stands out with its sleek black tower design, featuring a modern LCD screen and pure sine-wave converters. This makes it a premium option for medical-grade backup power. Their systems range in power capacity, with top models producing over two million watts and priced upwards of two million dollars, making them versatile for various uninterruptible power supply (UPS) needs.
Available in different form factors, these systems are offered in a boxy, computer tower-style design and a rack mount version, ideal for server blade applications. Battery Backup Power’s units support modern computer inputs like ethernet and USB, allowing for remote monitoring. However, their standard battery setup doesn't provide extended runtimes. Additional battery packs must be daisy-chained to increase runtime, potentially consuming valuable floor space. The rack-mounted versions somewhat mitigate this and are more suited for data-center setups.
The selection is limited for mobility; wheeled models are only available starting at 6,000 watts with 2.16 kWh power. Though powerful, users must carefully consider space constraints and the need for external battery expansion.
