Low-voltage equipment in anesthetic areas must be moisture resistant. This statement is:

True
False
Only true in certain areas
Dependent on usage

The correct answer is: True

Low-voltage equipment used in anesthetic areas must indeed be moisture resistant due to the critical environment where it operates. These areas often have a higher risk of moisture presence, which could potentially lead to equipment malfunction, electrical hazards, or compromised patient safety. Moisture-resistant equipment is designed to prevent water ingress, ensuring reliable operation even in damp conditions. In settings such as operating rooms, where anesthetics are used, it is essential to minimize any risks associated with electrical equipment. Moisture can not only affect functionality but can also pose significant safety hazards, such as electric shock. Therefore, ensuring that low-voltage equipment is specifically designed or rated for moisture resistance is a fundamental requirement in these environments to maintain safe operational standards.
