Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Specialized equipment in the OR, such as portable x-ray units or laser generators, may require a 220 V wall outlet that can handle the increased load necessary to power the equipment. A standard wall outlet typically provides 110 V, which may not be enough for some high-powered medical equipment. Therefore, a higher voltage outlet is needed to accommodate the increased power needs of specialized equipment.
