Eaton HCRK-36 – Medical-Grade Mobile Power Retrofit Kit

Product Overview

The Eaton HCRK-36 is a 300W medical-grade mobile power retrofit kit that adds UL 60601-1 compliant AC power to medical carts, a required patient shock-prevention measure. This mobile power kit includes an isolation transformer power supply, a 36 amp-hour battery module and PowerAlert software to protect patient data if the cart loses power while unattended. Hospitals and clinical facilities use the HCRK-36 to bring existing medical carts up to code for connected mobile electronic equipment. The kit includes everything needed for a retrofit, including a remote user interface, mounting hardware and standard cabling.

Product Description

The HCRK-36 Medical-Grade Mobile Power Retrofit Kit provides UL 60601-1 compliance, a required patient shock-prevention measure, for all mobile electronic devices connected to a medical cart. The kit includes everything needed to add AC power to medical carts already in service, making it a practical retrofit path rather than a full cart replacement. Its power supply features an isolation transformer that reduces the cumulative shock potential of connected equipment, a key requirement for maintaining UL 60601-1 compliance in patient-care settings. The included 36 amp-hour battery module provides long-lasting mobile power so carts can move between rooms and patient bays without losing power to connected devices. Included PowerAlert software helps protect valuable patient data from loss or corruption if the cart is left unattended and battery power is depleted, adding a software safeguard alongside the hardware retrofit. The kit also includes a remote user interface (RUI) for monitoring power status, along with mounting hardware and standard cabling needed for installation, giving biomedical and facilities teams everything required to complete the retrofit on existing carts.
