How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton Safe-IT UL 1363A Medical-Grade Power Strip

Installing the Safe-IT power strip is straightforward and designed to minimize disruption in fast-paced healthcare settings. Follow these steps to ensure safe, compliant setup that supports patient care needs:

1. Inspect and plan placement: Before use, inspect the unit for any visible damage. Plan a location near the equipment that needs power, ensuring outlets remain accessible and cords do not create tripping hazards or reach through areas with moisture or patient contact.
2. Position on a stable surface or cart: Place the power strip on a clean, stable surface such as a nurse station, bedside cart, or wall-mounted tray. If your facility uses mounting accessories, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to secure it safely.
3. Connect to a grounded outlet: Plug the 15-foot cord into a properly grounded hospital-grade wall outlet. Ensure the outlet provides the appropriate voltage (120V, 60Hz) for the connected equipment and that the outlet is not overloaded by other devices.
4. Distribute devices and manage cables: Arrange cords from devices to the six outlets in a tidy manner. Use the integrated safety covers to protect unused outlets and keep the surrounding area neat, reducing hygiene risks and limiting contact exposure.
5. Test and verify operation: Turn on the power strip and verify that each connected medical device powers on correctly. Check that the built-in safety features (such as safety covers) operate as intended. Periodically inspect the unit as part of routine clinical equipment checks.
6. Maintenance and cleaning: Follow your facility’s cleaning protocol to sanitize the exterior without compromising the device. Use approved hospital-grade cleaners, and avoid liquids near outlets. Do not submerge the unit, and ensure it stays dry during cleaning.

Tips for optimal performance and safety in patient-care environments:

• Keep the power strip away from liquids and moisture-prone zones to protect patient safety and equipment integrity.
• Regularly inspect the outlets and safety covers for signs of wear or damage. Replace the unit if the enclosure shows cracks or if outlets no longer close securely behind their covers.
• Label connected devices to facilitate quick identification during equipment rounds and emergencies.
• Train staff and caregivers on proper usage, emphasizing that the unit is intended for medical devices and clinical accessories in patient-care vicinities.
• Use in compliance with hospital guidelines for power distribution, infection control, and equipment management to maximize safety and reliability.
