Safety Features of the MedReel
Safety of patients and staff is a primary concern in the modern
workplace. The MedReel is designed with this concern in mind.
The MedReel can be mounted on electric beds, operating theatre beds, portable testing equipment, crash carts, dialysis machines, or other electrical medical equipment. It can also be ceiling mounted in operating theatres and critical care areas, conveniently out of the way until the cord is pulled down. The extension cord remains retracted safely in the waterproof, durable case when it is not in use.
The MedReel will not become unplugged when equipment is moved or shifted. The spring-loaded reel and tight-fitting male plug end ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity.
When not in use, electrical cords are conveniently and safely retracted, decreasing the possibility of simple accidents like trips and falls.
Normal extension cords become hazards when subjected to wet conditions. The MedReel is water-proof, eliminating this concern.
Internal structural breakdown of cords often results from repeated impacts to cords lying on the floor. This can cause fires or other electrical dangers. The MedReel prevents this type of damage, shielding the cord within the durable polypropelene case.
If the MedReel is subjected to a power surge, an integral circuit breaker is tripped, preventing damage to equipment and injury to patients and personnel.
Extensive and strict ETL testing to conform with CSA has ensured the integrity of all MedReel components. Monitoring of the manufacturing process ensures that the MedReel continues to meet these strict safety requirements.
