SABAH, EAST MALAYSIA — The power supply to a
hospital has to be extremely reliable not only for the
normal functioning of the facility, but also for the
uninterrupted operation of sophisticated equipment used
by medical staff in routine and emergency situations.
Since the latest instruments invariably incorporate
microprocessors that are sensitive to electrical
disturbances, power outages could cause them to
malfunction, thereby endangering the patients.
For example, the voltage fluctuations that medical
imaging equipment such as the CAT scan, MRI, and
X-ray are subjected to should be extremely low in order
to maintain the quality of the image output.
Health care regulators have, therefore, imposed stringent
standards to ensure the quality of healthcare and safety.
Taking into consideration these criteria, engineering
consultants KTA (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd specified gensets
from Cummins Power Generation for standby duties
at the 268-bed government hospital in Lahad Datu in
Sabah and five other hospitals, all in East Malaysia.
