Medical Imaging UPS Deployment Snapshot
Customer
National medical technology provider
Business Requirement
Angiography and high-load medical imaging systems
Core Solution
Schneider Electric Galaxy VS 100kW UPS platform
Outcome
Standardised national deployment across multiple Australian states
Client Overview
The client is a major medical technology provider operating advanced diagnostic imaging systems across hospitals and specialist facilities throughout Australia. Their angiography platforms require exceptionally stable, clean, and uninterrupted power to maintain clinical accuracy and protect sensitive electronics during procedures.
Even short power disturbances can disrupt imaging integrity, delay critical interventions, or compromise patient care. Installations also take place within tightly controlled hospital construction windows or department shutdowns, requiring precise coordination and healthcare-compliant execution.
To support this environment, the client required a nationally consistent UPS solution capable of handling high and dynamic load profiles while integrating into space-constrained clinical settings.
The Challenge
Angiography systems generate heavy instantaneous loads during X-ray pulses, image acquisition, and gantry movement. These transient demands required a UPS platform capable of handling rapid load changes, high short-circuit withstand ratings, and significant overload conditions without performance degradation.
The rollout also had to work within space-constrained hospital environments and tightly controlled site conditions across multiple states. Each installation required coordination around hospital access protocols, delivery windows, compliance requirements, and minimal disruption to clinical operations.
The Solution
Focus Group Technologies designed a medical imaging UPS deployment program built around the Schneider Electric Galaxy VS 100kW platform, selected for its compact footprint, overload capability, strong electrical performance, and modular battery architecture.
Detailed load analysis was completed to validate angiography requirements, while national coordination covered delivery, installation, commissioning, and compliance across multiple Australian healthcare facilities. The integrated battery design also removed the need for separate battery cabinets, helping reduce spatial requirements in constrained clinical environments.
Technology Deployed
Focus Group Technologies standardised a high-density UPS platform purpose-built for demanding medical imaging applications, including:
Schneider Electric Galaxy VS 100kW UPS system
Integrated modular, hot-swappable battery architecture
Maintenance bypass panel for operational continuity
National delivery, installation, and commissioning services
The Outcome
This medical imaging UPS deployment delivered a nationally standardised UPS environment engineered specifically for angiography systems. Imaging equipment now runs with clean, stable, and uninterrupted power, significantly reducing the risk of procedure disruption or equipment downtime.
Space constraints were successfully addressed through the compact Galaxy VS design and integrated battery architecture, allowing deployment without room redesign or additional battery enclosures.
The rollout was executed consistently across multiple states, with each facility receiving coordinated delivery, compliant installation, and validated commissioning. Post-installation testing confirmed reliable performance under surge and transient conditions typical of imaging cycles.
The result is a robust, scalable, and clinically reliable UPS environment that supports operational continuity, protects critical imaging systems, and enables long-term national standardisation.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Power infrastructure. Clear operational answers.
What type of UPS is suitable for medical imaging systems?
Medical imaging systems often require a high-capacity UPS platform that can support large transient loads, rapid load changes, and sensitive electronics. The right UPS solution must be sized for the imaging workload, available runtime, and the physical constraints of the clinical environment.
Why do angiography systems need stable and uninterrupted power?
Angiography systems rely on stable power to support image acquisition, X-ray pulses, gantry movement, and other critical functions during diagnostic and interventional procedures. Even short power disturbances can affect imaging quality, delay treatment, or place sensitive electronics at risk.
What are the challenges of deploying UPS systems in hospitals?
Hospital UPS deployments often involve constrained plant room or imaging room space, strict access and induction requirements, healthcare safety compliance, and tightly controlled installation windows. In many cases, projects must be completed with minimal disruption to clinical operations.
Why was the Schneider Electric Galaxy VS platform suitable for this deployment?
The Schneider Electric Galaxy VS platform offered a compact footprint, strong overload capability, integrated battery architecture, and performance characteristics suited to high-load medical imaging environments. This made it well suited to angiography workloads and space-constrained hospital installations.
Can a national UPS rollout be standardised across multiple healthcare sites?
Yes. A national UPS rollout can be standardised when the solution is designed around consistent performance, repeatable deployment processes, site-by-site validation, and strong project coordination across multiple locations. This helps improve supportability, reliability, and operational consistency across the healthcare network.
Does Focus Group Technologies support power and cooling infrastructure for healthcare environments?
Yes. Focus Group Technologies helps Australian organisations design, procure, deploy, and support resilient power and cooling environments, including UPS solutions, backup power infrastructure, critical power protection, and broader IT and facility infrastructure requirements.
