About Hospital Grade NEMA Power Cords

Hospital grade standards

Hospital Grade Standards require Plugs, Connectors, Receptacles and Power Cords used in medical applications to have a green dot prominently displayed on the housing surface to identify compliance with Underwriter Laboratories specifications UL817, UL60601-1 and UL498. Specifically; (1) the blades must be solid instead of folded brass, (2) the blades are usually nickel-plated, (3) the plug includes an internal cable retention device or strain relief to prevent any stress to the plug’s internal connections and (4) NEMA plug and receptacle are marked “Hospital-grade” and with a green dot.

Testing procedures for hospital grade plugs and connectors

HG Test: Impact Test - A plug or connector wired with the minimum size flexible cord is subjected to an impact from a 10 pound cylindrical weight having a flat face with a 2 inch diameter dropped from a height of 18 inches. After the test, there shall be no breakage or other damage that may affect the function of the device. HG Test: Mechanical Drop Test - The cord connector is wired to #18 AWG flexible cord and suspended horizontally. It is released so it impacts a hardwood surface 45 inches below the point of suspension. This is repeated for 1,300 cycles. After the test, there shall be no breakage, deformation or other effect that may interfere with the function of the device. HG Test: 500 Pound Crush Test - A wired plug or connector is placed between two hardwood slabs while subjected to a force which is progressively increased to 500 pounds. After the test, there shall be no breakage, deformation or other effect that may interfere with the function of the device. HG Test: Strain Relief Test - While assembled to a plug or connector but not wired to the terminals; the cord must remain securely fastened after a straight pull of 30 pounds and a rotary motion within 3 inch circles with a 10 pound force applied for two consecutive hours. Displacement of conductors, insulation and outer jacket of the flexible cord shall not exceed 0.031 inch. There shall be no cuts, rips or tears in the insulation of the cord.
