What exactly CAN you use to power medical equipment in an emergency?
Post Body

Every generator, UPS or other backup power unit I've ever come across always says "do not use to power medical equipment, fire alarms or anything else that a person's life may depend on, including a refrigerator housing medications"

So what can you use? Are you supposed to have a bunch of hamsters that are trained to run on wheels in case of a power outage?

More importantly, shouldn't medical equipment be designed to be less sensitive to noisy power, as opposed to being more sensitive? Surely extra filtering wouldn't add much more cost to a ventilator or whatever that's already expensive enough to bankrupt Bill Gates?
