Be advised that hospital grade receptacles are not isolated ground receptacles. An isolated ground receptacle can be had in hospital grade or most any grade you desire. But a hospital grade isn't by default an isolated grade. Just thought you might care to know. This, I know, as I have worked in the hospital engineering field for the last 20something years.

P.S. I highly encourage you to read up on balanced power. It's not hype and is based on solid engineering. In a hospital, it is widely used in operating and critical care areas, just under a different name, isolated power, and for different reasons. Only recently has it gained acceptance for audio and is now part of NEC for recording studios and such. I have had very favorable results in my audio system with it. It's less about providing clean power and more about giving the noise a way to self cancel.
