Hospitals and medical laboratories rely on precision microscopes for daily diagnostics and testing. During earthquakes, microscopes and optical equipment can shift, fall, or become damaged, leading to interruptions in medical services and costly repairs.
The hospital was concerned about the risk of microscope movement and tipping during earthquakes. Because microscopes are highly sensitive precision instruments, even minor impacts or vibrations can affect accuracy and usability.
The facility also wanted to improve safety for laboratory staff and reduce the risk of operational downtime after seismic events.
Equipment: Microscope and its Work Table
Seismic bracket: NSD series [customized] and KPS5-1
Fixing method: Using the shape of the microscope body, it was seismically fixed with the “NSD Type” brackets (specially designed metal fittings).
In addition, the table on which the microscope is mounted was seismically fixed with “Anti Tip Metal Brackets with Gel Pads” .
Proseven seismic restraint products were installed to help stabilize microscope equipment without affecting daily operation or usability. The solution helps reduce movement caused by seismic vibrations while maintaining a clean and professional laboratory environment.
The installation was completed quickly and without major disruption to medical operations.
After installation, the hospital strengthened earthquake preparedness for critical laboratory equipment and improved protection for valuable microscopes and medical devices.
The customer reported increased confidence in disaster preparedness measures and improved readiness for maintaining medical services during emergencies.
