Procell batteries for healthcare is the most in-demand aspect of power solution in these hard and trying times of the COVID-19 era. The healthcare industry needs a boost not only in their services but also in their devices’ performance for faster, accurate, and precise treatments that they can give to their patients. For this reason, Duracell Procell batteries and Procell INTENSE batteries have been designed to streamline the services and maintenance issues of the overall healthcare industry.
Procell Batteries vs. Procell INTENSE Batteries
You might have tried using Duracell-Procell batteries in one of your devices. Then, suddenly you heard of Procell INTENSE batteries. Any major difference or is it just a slight difference in the name itself?
What is a Procell Battery
Procell battery is Duracell’s superior general-purpose battery from the Procell line. It is redesigned to give that long-lasting performance that everyone desires consistently.
What is Procell INTENSE Battery
Procell INTENSE battery is known for its red design to signify the intense performance it can guarantee to consumers. This new battery range is specially made to provide “precise pulses of energy” in high drain devices as it lasts longer than regular Procell batteries and other leading battery brands.
Complete Power Solution for Healthcare Industry
It is not only during this pandemic that you need to pay attention to the healthcare industry. We all go to hospitals for some specific medical care. Yet have you ever wondered what are the different aspects of such a large hospital that need reliable power solution?
Here are the different departments in the hospital or healthcare facility that needs a reliable power solution.
• Patient rooms• Ensuite Bathrooms
• Nurses’ Stations
• Laboratories
• Storage
• Plant Operations
• Administration
• Security/Safety Office
• Children’s Area/Nursery
• Bathrooms/General
• Pharmacy
• Doctors
• Bio-med
• Audio/Visual Rooms
• Casualty
• NTSC Generator
• Nutritional Services
These areas are composed of the various instruments and facilities that require exceptionally reliable power sources. This is where the Procell batteries and Procell INTENSE batteries play a major role in providing full functionalities and service to the patients and the whole healthcare industry.
Patient Rooms
The future of patient rooms relies on the power of technological innovation in designing suitable rooms for health and wellness. Lighting and medical equipment should also have a reliable power source that keeps up with the changing demands of the current health situations.
Patient rooms are one of the most important sections of the healthcare facilities that need complete power solutions and energy backup for patient care. Below are the most common devices and medical equipment used in most patient rooms to optimize medical service to patients. Each of these is briefly explained to understand its function and the kind of batteries you need for each of them for enhanced performance.
CO Monitors
CO monitors or carbon monoxide detectors are used in hospitals to detect and monitor the level of carbon monoxide within the room or any given area over time to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. CO detectors need Procell AA batteries and Procell 9V batteries to fully function its detection alarm within a short period of 8 hours or even longer for a week or so. Once the monitor detects carbon monoxide concentration for as low as 40-50ppm, it will start the alarm and the siren only stops when it is already in a carbon monoxide-free environment.
Smoke Detectors and Digital Clocks
These two may be different but they have something in common. Like the CO monitors, these also require Procell 9V batteries or Procell AA batteries for optimized performance in patient rooms.
Thermostats
Thermostats in patient rooms control the temperature of each room. Having such excellent batteries as the Procell AA, Procell AAA, and Procell 9V batteries help patients maintain the balance of temperature in each room while observing the standard cold temperature level required in hospitals to prevent the growth of bacteria. The cold temperature gets rid of condensation buildup on hospital surfaces and this prevents cross-contamination.
TV Remotes and Wall Clocks
TV remotes and wall clocks in patient rooms require Procell AA batteries or Procell AAA batteries. These batteries are designed to provide long-lasting performance in a purely consistent manner so you can always be sure that your TV remote control and wall clocks are in full performance.
Oxygen Pumps
These life-saving pumps are powered by Procell D-size batteries and Procell 9V batteries. Oxygen pumps and portable oxygen concentrators are helpful to patients for both inside the hospital patient rooms or even while traveling. These portable oxygen devices can help patients who are having shortness of breath with such long-lasting batteries as the Procell line.
Diagnostics
Medical instrument/equipment used for diagnostics usually comes with a rechargeable battery or even disposable ones for power options. These are designed to give medical professionals, as well as the patients, the quick, yet accurate information or results they need in giving proper diagnoses and treatment in terms of patient care. The batteries used here for increased portability and performance are Procell AA batteries, Procell AAA batteries, and Procell C batteries.
Infusion Pumps
These are used to deliver fluids and nutrients to the body in both large and small amounts. as in the treatment of insulin for diabetic patients, antibiotics, pain relievers, or any other hormonal treatment. Infusion pumps are usually stationary at the patient’s bedside. Yet, there are also infusion pumps that are battery operated in case of power issues and other related concerns regarding patient mobility and accessibility. Certain types of infusion pumps require regular Procell 9V batteries. Other types require the most powerful ones as the Procell INTENSE AA batteries and the Procell INTENSE C batteries.
Ensuite Bathrooms and General Bathrooms
Both the ensuite bathrooms and general bathrooms in healthcare facilities require excellent battery performance for such high-drain devices as air fresheners, hand sanitizers, automatic taps, automatic paper towel dispensers, and automatic soap dispensers.
