Eaton Tripp Lite Series Safe-IT UL 1363A Medical-Grade Power Strip for Patient Care Vicinities, 6 Hospital-Grade Outlets, Load Monitor, Safety Covers, Antimicrobial, 7 ft. (2.1 m) Cord

The Eaton Tripp Lite Safe-IT UL 1363A Medical-Grade Power Strip is engineered to meet the exacting demands of patient-care environments. Built for reliability in hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities, this unit provides safe, accessible power right where clinicians need it most. It combines six hospital-grade outlets, a built-in load monitor, antimicrobial housing, and protective safety covers to support infection control, equipment reliability, and caregiver efficiency. With a durable 7-foot (2.1 m) cord, it accommodates flexible placement near bedsides, nursing stations, and therapy areas while keeping critical devices powered and organized. This power strip is designed to minimize variables in high-pressure care scenarios, helping healthcare teams focus on patient outcomes rather than electrical worries.

• Six hospital-grade outlets: Secure, grounded receptacles that provide dependable, noise-free power distribution for essential medical devices such as monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators, and imaging peripherals, all within reach of patient-care workstations.
• Integrated load monitor: A visible, easy-to-read indicator helps staff manage power usage, prevent overload, and optimize circuit loading in busy care areas where multiple devices run simultaneously.
• Antimicrobial housing: A surface treatment designed to inhibit microbial growth on high-touch surfaces, supporting infection-control protocols in patient rooms, procedure suites, and recovery areas.
• Safety covers for each outlet: Durable, retractable or hinged covers protect unused outlets, reduce the risk of accidental contact, and maintain clean, compliant workspaces around patients and equipment.
• 7 ft (2.1 m) heavy-duty cord: A long, flexible power lead with high durability to reach distant outlets and power hubs while maintaining a tidy, organized footprint near patient care zones.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Safe-IT

• Choose the right location: Select a safe, accessible area near the patient bed, bedside cart, or caregiver station. Ensure adequate clearance around outlets and the cord to avoid pinch points and heat buildup.
• Inspect the unit: Before first use, inspect the Safe-IT for any shipping damage, missing covers, or loose outlets. Do not use if any component appears compromised.
• Route the cord thoughtfully: Uncoil the 7-foot cord and route it along the back or underside of equipment carts, along the wall, or under cable trays. Avoid running the cord across walkways or under heavy equipment to minimize wear and trip hazards.
• Connect to the correct supply: Plug the Safe-IT into a properly grounded hospital-grade circuit that matches the unit’s 120 V/60 Hz rating. Do not daisy-chain multiple power strips to the same outlet, and keep the total load within the 15 A limit.
• Activate and monitor: Once plugged in, verify the load monitor indicator is visible and functioning. Distribute devices across the six outlets to balance the load, and avoid overloading a single outlet or bank of receptacles.
• Deploy safety covers and maintenance: Engage safety covers when outlets are not in use to reduce contact risk. Periodically clean with manufacturer-approved disinfectants, following your facility’s infection-control guidelines.
• Integrate into workflow: Educate clinical staff on recognizing the load monitor status, understanding the importance of balanced device distribution, and using the power strip as part of standard equipment setup in patient care areas.
