Most
hospitals
are
continuously
evaluating
their
emergency
power
systems
because
of
increased
concerns
over
the
impact
power
outages
can
have
on
patient
care
and
sensitive
equipment.
While
much
of
the
attention
is
caused
by
power
loss
resulting
from
catastrophic
events
such
as
the
Houston
floods
of
2001,
the
Northeastern
blackout
of
2003,
and
major
hurricanes
of
2004
and
2005,
even
a
brief
local
power
outage
can
have
damaging
effects
on
critical
patient
care,
patient
life
support,
data
center
records,
sensitive
instruments
and
surgical
equipment,
as
well
as
climate-control
systems
protecting
blood
banks
and
other
vital
operations.

manufactured
