Cuando pensamos en la calidad de una imagen médica (ya sea una resonancia magnética, una tomografía computarizada o una radiografía), solemos centrarnos en el equipo. Pero hay un factor fundamental que influye en la nitidez de la imagen: la energía eléctrica.
En concreto, una energía eléctrica limpia y estable.
La mayoría de los sistemas de imagen son extremadamente sensibles. Una pequeña fluctuación o interrupción de la tensión, a veces imperceptible, puede provocar imágenes borrosas, reinicios del equipo o fallos en las exploraciones. En regiones como Latinoamérica, donde las fluctuaciones de energía son comunes, esto no es solo una posibilidad teórica.
Ocurre a diario.
Muchas clínicas utilizan generadores o protectores de sobretensión para las interrupciones. Pero estos no solucionan la inestabilidad de la energía que, de forma silenciosa, puede deteriorar el equipo de imagen o interrumpir las exploraciones.
Por eso, cada vez más equipos de radiología están considerando los sistemas de alimentación ininterrumpida (UPS), no solo como respaldo, sino como garantía de fiabilidad y calidad en las exploraciones.
Un UPS de doble conversión disenado para estas aplicaciones ayuda a:
Si su equipo ha perdido alguna exploración o ha tenido que reiniciar el equipo durante una sesión con el paciente, quizá sea el momento de analizar la calidad de la energía que alimenta sus equipos de imagen.
¿Le preocupa que los problemas de energía puedan afectar la calidad de sus imágenes?
Hablemos. Estaremos encantados de compartir nuestra experiencia en Latinoamérica y las soluciones que implementan los hospitales.
When we think about the quality of a medical image—whether it’s an MRI, CT, or X-ray—we usually focus on the equipment. But there’s something more basic that plays a big role in image clarity: power.
Specifically, clean, stable power.
Most imaging systems are incredibly sensitive. A brief voltage dip, surge, or power interruption—sometimes too fast to notice—can cause images to blur, machines to restart, or scans to fail. And in regions like Latin America, where power fluctuations are more common, this isn’t hypothetical.
It’s happening every day.
Many clinics rely on generators or surge protectors to help during outages. But those don’t fix the everyday power instability that can quietly wear down imaging equipment or interrupt scans.
That’s why more radiology teams are looking at uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems—not just as backup, but as a way to ensure consistency and confidence in their scans.
A double-conversion UPS helps by:
If your team has ever lost a scan—or had to reboot in the middle of a patient session—it might be time to take a closer look at the power behind your imaging.
Curious if power issues could be affecting your imaging quality?
Let’s talk. We’re happy to share what we’ve seen across LATAM—and how hospitals are solving it.
The Staco Golden Touch: Going Beyond Copper
Most variable transformers are built with bare copper windings.
And while copper is common, it comes with problems: corrosion, drift, and costly downtime. In critical testing environments, those failures don’t just slow you down — they put results and schedules at risk.
At Staco, we do it differently. In our Miamisburg, Ohio facility, every winding is gold-plated. We call it The Staco Golden Touch.
Why Gold Matters
Better Conductivity
Gold provides cleaner, more stable electrical performance. That means precise, repeatable voltage control.
Corrosion Resistance
Unlike bare copper, gold resists oxidation and humidity. That means more reliable performance with fewer interruptions.
Longer Service Life
Gold-plated windings hold up under stress. The result: less downtime and fewer replacements.
Built in Ohio
Every Staco winding is wound and plated in our Miamisburg, Ohio facility. By controlling the process from start to finish, we deliver consistent quality and durability for testing professionals.
When results matter, copper isn’t enough. Gold makes the difference.
