NFPA 99 is one of the principal performance standards on electrical safety for healthcare facilities. However, a proposed change regarding what areas should be considered "wet locations" may have a big effect on the way hospitals equip their operating rooms. ECRI Institute thinks that this change is ill-advised--that it will cost hospitals money with no real benefit, and in some cases could actually increase risks.
美国国家防火协会99号标准是医疗保健设施电气安全的主要性能标准之一。然而,一项关于哪些区域应被视为“潮湿场所”的提议变更可能会对医院手术室的设备配备方式产生重大影响。医疗保健研究与质量机构(ECRI)认为这一变更并不明智——它会让医院花钱却没有实际益处,而且在某些情况下实际上可能会增加风险。
