An operating table that arrives wired for the wrong mains voltage is not a shipping problem, it is a configuration that was never frozen, and the fix starts before the balance of the order is built. The showroom machine ran on the local supply, so it proves the mechanics and nothing about your hospital\u2019s electricity. What you need from the factory is an electrical configuration submittal for the exact units you will run: input voltage, frequency and phase with the tolerance range, the current rating, the hospital-grade plug or the hardwire detail, the nameplate as it will read, the wiring diagram, and the per-unit bench test record for earth continuity and leakage. Then freeze all of it as a coded variant on the order, the nameplate and the carton, because a configuration that lives only in a chat message will reappear, in a crate, with the wrong plug.<\/p>\n

Why the demo machine cannot answer this question<\/h2>\n

Hospital equipment is built and tested against a mains configuration, and the configuration is part of the product. A 220-volt, 50-hertz build and a 120-volt, 60-hertz build can share every casting and circuit board yet behave differently at the motor, the pump and the control transformer. Frequency is the quiet one: a motor designed for one mains frequency runs at a different speed on another, and a unit that lifts a patient a little faster or slower than the demonstration machine may also run hotter while doing it. None of that shows up in a showroom, because the showroom is wired like the factory, not like your building.<\/p>\n

So treat the demonstration as evidence about the frame, the rails and the upholstery, and treat the electrical side as a separate approval. The general reference on mains electricity by country<\/a> is a useful reminder of how many combinations exist; the point for a purchase order is narrower. The configuration your hospital will connect is a variant, and a variant needs a code.<\/p>\n

The submittal to approve before the rest is built<\/h2>\n

Ask for one document set per model, reviewed by your biomedical team and your facilities engineer, covering the following lines. It is the same standard of evidence the pendant and labels articles ask for elsewhere in this series, and the electrical version reads like this.<\/p>\n
