- Healthcare has reserve routines for this form of event.
The protective barriers in our systems have worked as intended, they have been switched to batteries in all patient-critical equipment and it happens at lightning speed, says Björn Sandström.
But is it not serious that reserve power does not work?
- When there are certain types of power failures, the reserve power cannot start because it would lead to a massive short circuit and then we would have a catastrophic situation.
So you could say that the systems protect themselves.
Restores the systems
The power outage occurred at 7.15 on Sunday. Now the electricity supply is back throughout the hospital and technicians are working to restore all systems. Björn Sandström certifies that it will also have no impact on patient safety.
