The Midmark AD 1522-216 Duplex Tamper Resistant Receptacle is designed for dependable electrical performance in medical and clinical environments where safety and reliability are essential. Built specifically for healthcare facilities, this duplex outlet supports consistent power delivery to examination tables, diagnostic equipment, and medical accessories that require uninterrupted operation.
This tamper resistant receptacle helps reduce the risk of accidental contact with live electrical components while maintaining compatibility with Midmark medical equipment installations. The durable construction supports daily clinical use and integrates seamlessly into modern treatment rooms, procedure suites, and patient care areas.
Key Benefits
The receptacle provides enhanced patient and staff safety through an internal shutter system that blocks foreign object insertion. This helps prevent accidental shock hazards, particularly in environments where patients, children, or visitors may be present.
Reliable electrical contact ensures stable power supply to connected equipment, helping prevent disruptions during examinations or procedures. The construction materials resist wear from frequent plug insertion and removal, extending service life in high traffic medical settings.
Its standardized fit simplifies installation and replacement within compatible Midmark equipment systems, reducing maintenance time and minimizing downtime for clinical staff.
Compatibility and Applications
The Midmark AD 1522-216 receptacle is commonly used in examination rooms, outpatient clinics, treatment areas, and specialty procedure environments. It is compatible with a wide range of Midmark powered equipment requiring duplex power connections.
Typical applications include powering exam tables, procedure lighting accessories, diagnostic monitors, and auxiliary medical devices. The tamper resistant design makes it suitable for pediatric facilities, family practices, urgent care centers, and surgical preparation areas where electrical safety standards are strictly observed.
Usage Guidelines
The receptacle should be installed by qualified technical personnel familiar with medical equipment electrical standards. Prior to installation, power must be disconnected to ensure safe handling.
After installation, equipment cords should be fully inserted into the receptacle to maintain proper grounding and electrical contact. Periodic inspection is recommended to confirm secure mounting and proper operation of the internal safety shutters.
The outlet is intended for indoor healthcare environments and should not be exposed to excessive moisture or cleaning agents that may enter the electrical housing.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The tamper resistant design aligns with healthcare electrical safety practices commonly required in clinical facilities. The protective shutter mechanism reduces the likelihood of foreign object insertion and supports patient safety protocols in regulated medical environments.
Constructed to meet professional healthcare equipment standards, the receptacle supports consistent electrical performance suitable for diagnostic and treatment equipment applications.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared to standard commercial outlets, the Midmark AD 1522-216 offers healthcare specific safety features designed for patient care areas. While basic outlets provide electrical connectivity, they typically lack internal shutter protection and may not meet the operational expectations of clinical facilities.
Unlike generic replacements, this receptacle is engineered for compatibility with Midmark systems, ensuring proper fit, secure mounting, and reliable long term performance without modification. This reduces installation complexity and prevents operational inconsistencies.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This receptacle is commonly used by medical facility maintenance teams, biomedical technicians, and healthcare equipment service providers responsible for maintaining powered examination equipment.
It is especially useful in pediatric clinics, family medicine practices, specialty treatment centers, and outpatient surgical environments where tamper resistant electrical protection is important. Facilities that prioritize patient safety and regulatory compliance benefit from its dedicated healthcare design.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Routine inspection should be performed during scheduled equipment maintenance to ensure the receptacle remains securely mounted and free of damage. If resistance is felt during plug insertion, the internal shutters should be checked for obstruction.
Cleaning should be performed using a dry or lightly damp cloth while power is disconnected. Harsh chemicals and direct spraying should be avoided to protect internal electrical components.
Replacement is recommended if visible cracking, looseness, or inconsistent power delivery is observed.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The receptacle supports safety requirements commonly applied in patient care environments where electrical shock prevention is critical. Tamper resistant technology helps facilities maintain compliance with modern healthcare electrical safety expectations.
Only trained personnel should perform installation or replacement to ensure grounding continuity and proper function within medical equipment systems.
