Paramount of Power at Portsmouth Regional Hospital
Situation:
Portsmouth Regional Hospital is a 234-bed acute care facility in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, serving the broader Seacoast region. As the only ACS Verified Level II Trauma Center on New Hampshire’s Seacoast and one of America’s 250 Best Hospitals (Healthgrades, 2023), the hospital operates under strict performance standards to ensure patient safety.
Reliable power—particularly in critical areas like operating rooms—is essential. During a recent annual inspection, the hospital’s facilities team needed to evaluate the performance and compliance of its aging isolated power systems.
PG LifeLink Response:
PG LifeLink conducted scheduled annual testing on the hospital’s operating rooms and identified that six existing Square D Line Isolation Monitors were not compliant with NFPA 99 Healthcare Facilities Code Section 6.3.4.1 due to improper high alarm points.
Leveraging PG LifeLink’s extensive experience in retrofits and compliance testing, our technician performed a seamless after-hours upgrade. The outdated monitors were replaced with new SafeDetec Line Isolation Monitors from PG LifeLink’s Plus Series, ensuring each operating room remained code-compliant—without any disruption to surgical operations.
Results:
-
Six panels retrofitted with modern, compliant LIMs
-
Zero downtime for operating rooms
-
Improved monitoring capabilities through SafeDetec technology
-
Ongoing support from PG LifeLink’s dedicated field service team
-
Full compliance with NFPA 99 standards
Portsmouth Regional Hospital continues to rely on PG LifeLink for annual system testing and responsive retrofit support, solidifying a multi-year relationship built on trust, speed, and technical excellence.
