What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean?


I plan on changing my outlets since it seems like a cheap enough tweak and most here on the forum agree that it makes a difference. But what actually IS the physical difference between hospital grade and non-hospital grade outlets?

It means it can be used in ares where there are flameable materials. Supperior contact and will not provide a spark if pulled from the outlet./
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.

Sorry, not true....If a plug is pulled from an outlet and there is a connected load, current flowing, there will indeed be a spark. Hospital grade receptacle or not.
