Why power management matters
28%
of global health organizations have experienced data loss in last 12 months.¹
40%
of global healthcare organizations have experienced an unplanned outage in the past 12 months.¹
57 HRS
is the average amount of time healthcare organizations have lost to unplanned downtime over the past 12 months.¹
87%
of power outages are caused by brownouts or sags which are short term incidents caused by very high energy demands.²
In a power struggle, we’re on your side
We at GE HealthCare know power, and we know medical devices. That makes us uniquely qualified to help you keep medical equipment operating at peak performance and to keep power issues from impacting your patients, your operation and your organization.
More vulnerable than ever
Technological advancements have both improved care and increased our reliance on electricity. As healthcare facilities become more technology intensive, they require more reliable sources of power—even as they’re putting more stress on the grid.
Our Mission: Ensuring good power quality
Good power quality means consistent voltage, frequency and waveform of your power supply system that conforms to the specifications of your equipment. Through risk assessment, power monitoring and power conditioning, we’ll help find power solutions that can support your clinical, operational and financial goals.
Power audit
It pays to be proactive
“We performed an installation Power & Ground audit prior to installation of some new GE HealthCare imaging equipment. Had we not discovered a transformer malfunction, the new imaging system would have been subjected to questionable voltage levels resulting in errors, image degradation and equipment damage.”

Power monitoring
Data helps find the cause
“We recommended installing a power monitoring device and we recorded the line power events for 1 year. After presenting our report to the local power distributor, they corrected the power from their side. This solved the power sags for the facility resulting in optimal uptime for their MRI department.”

Working together
Discover the root cause
A facility experienced UPS failures in three Cath labs during generator testing. The root cause could not be identified. We worked with the facility and discovered a mistake was made during the original electric work. Once repaired, all issues were eliminated.
