What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean?

it means that they are of such quality that the sonics from the ventilators, monitors and defibrillators are first-rate. at least that's what i hear after my 14th day in a row.

Hospital grade sockets perform this function well because they're designed for health care environment where uninterrupted power is important.

An uninterrupted power in the hospitals suppose to be before it reaches a recepticle. In case of a blackout every hospital has an alternate power generator.
