Guidant Power expands healthcare electrical safety capabilities with acquisition of Dyna Scan Technical Services. Guidant Power, Inc. Aug 18, 2026, 07:00 ET Acquisition deepens Guidant Power's infrared inspection expertise, strengthening its position as a single-source electrical safety and reliability partner for healthcare customers nationwide. CHICAGO, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - Guidant Power, a leading provider of electrical safety, reliability, and engineering solutions, today announced the acquisition of Dyna Scan Technical Services, a Cincinnati-based infrared inspection firm known for its specialized expertise serving healthcare facilities and hospital systems. The acquisition expands Guidant Power's commercial and industrial infrared thermography capabilities into deeper healthcare specialization, strengthening its ability to support critical hospital infrastructure. Founded in 2004, Dyna Scan has built an exceptional reputation helping hospitals identify electrical risks before they threaten patient care or facility uptime. The acquisition builds on a long-standing relationship with Mitchell & Lindsey, the electrical safety firm Guidant Power acquired in November 2025. For years, the two companies have served many of the same hospital systems side by side with Dyna Scan handling infrared, Mitchell & Lindsey handling arc flash, training, automatic transfer switch (ATS) inspections, and line-isolation monitoring (LIM). Bringing both businesses under Guidant Power formalizes that partnership and extends it to hospital systems nationwide. Guidant Power currently serves hundreds of the hospitals nationwide each year, delivering arc flash assessments, ATS/LIM testing in support of NFPA 70E, 99, and 110 compliance. With Dyna Scan, Guidant now brings specialized healthcare depth to its infrared services as well, giving clients a single, coordinated partner across the full spectrum of electrical safety and reliability needs. "Our partnership with Dyna Scan sharpens our focus on the unique demands of healthcare environments," said Paul Decker, CEO of Guidant Power. "Paired with our existing arc flash, ATS, and LIM work, it means an even more specialized offering for healthcare clients. Through Jim and Beth's leadership, Dyna Scan has earned the trust of customers for whom safety and reliability is paramount." "Healthcare facilities can't afford blind spots in their electrical systems. Patient safety depends on it," said Jim O'Brien, President of Dyna Scan Technical Services. "Joining Guidant lets us bring that same standard of care to a much broader base of health systems nationwide, backed by a team that understands this world as well as we do." "Dyna Scan and Mitchell & Lindsey have worked side by side for years, and I couldn't be more excited to see that partnership formalized under one roof," said Bobby Lindsey, Arc Flash Service Line Leader at Guidant Power. "When it comes to keeping hospital systems safe and running, no one has our depth of expertise, and nobody does it better." The acquisition reflects Guidant Power's continued commitment to helping hospital systems protect patients and keep critical operations running, without having to coordinate across multiple vendors.

No more travel. Bring specialized Electrical Maintenance training to your team. Written in collaboration with Brian Hall, Lead Trainer at Guidant Power Guidant Power's Fundamentals of Electrical Maintenance course is now available on demand at facilities around the country. That's why Guidant Power is excited to bring its Fundamentals of Electrical Maintenance course to your facility and on your schedule. This four-day course has built a strong reputation at its training center in Ohio, where technicians get intensive, hands-on instruction on simulated industrial electrical equipment. Now, the same course (same structure and effective mix of theory plus hands-on instruction) can come to you. So if you've been wanting to upskill your crew without the travel costs, overtime burden, and scheduling challenges of offsite training, this is the perfect solution. Live close to Cleveland and would prefer to visit its training center? That's still available! Guidant Power is offering the same monthly four-day courses like Guidant Power has done for years. Like most trades, electrical maintenance teams in the industrial setting are dealing with a growing skills gap. Experienced technicians are retiring faster than new staff can replace them, and decades of experience aren't being passed on to the next generation. Further, those hard-to-find new hires often lack practical electrical know-how, after attending courses heavy on classroom theory and light on practical instruction. Meanwhile, the equipment itself keeps getting more complex. This leads to maintenance backlogs, unplanned downtime, and rising costs which are critical considerations to the majority of industrial clients. If you need to update your staff's electrical skills as soon as possible, now you can do it with minimal disruption. Training that comes to you. When the instructor travels to your team instead of the other way around, most of the usual training obstacles disappear: * Cost. Eliminate flights, hotels, and per diem. Your people train during their normal workday and go home at night. * Overtime. No need to pay premium rates if the training is during onsite working hours. * Scheduling. You're in charge. Stagger attendance or plan around your particular production demands. * Scale. Putting your whole crew through the course is much cheaper than sending them individually. * Relevance. Training happens in the environment the team is in every day. Skills transfer to their jobs faster and more intuitively. What the course covers. Four days, eight modules, one goal. The Fundamentals of Electrical Maintenance is a 4-day course for electricians and technicians who install, maintain, repair, or troubleshoot industrial equipment rated at 600 volts or less. Whether the crew is new to the field or experienced and looking to refresh their skills, the course meets them where they are. Classroom meets real equipment. Over the years, Guidant Power has fine tuned the balance between classroom instruction and hands-on work on real industrial machinery. It's one thing to memorize how an electrical motor works by looking at a diagram; everything truly clicks when you're building and troubleshooting a motor in real life. Inside the eight training modules. The modules progress from foundational concepts to advanced techniques: * Electrical theory. Ohm's Law, AC systems, and circuit construction. * Transformers. Operation, sizing, and common malfunctions. * Motors and motor control. Operation, wiring, ladder diagrams, and troubleshooting. * Overcurrent protection. Fuses, circuit breakers, and thermal overloads. * Electrical construction. Wire sizing, ampacity calculations, and National Electrical Code requirements. * Advanced troubleshooting. Systematic fault isolation across real systems. Every module includes practical exercises; you learn by doing. Safety is a top focus. Throughout the entire course and anywhere it is relevant, Guidant Power integrate NFPA 70E(R) electrical safety and OSHA-mandated safe work practices so your team knows how to protect themselves from shock and arc flash hazards. This complements training on NFPA 70B(R) electrical maintenance compliance. Not just another training class. I've been in the electrical safety and training space for over 30 years, including time as an instructor in the nuclear power industry. That's an environment where "close enough" is not a thing. My background in high stakes environments shapes how I approach every course Guidant Power offer at Guidant Power. Brian Hall, course developer & lead electrical safety training expert Past participants have said: "I really appreciated the class and learned quite a bit more then I knew, especially about 3 phase. The hands on really helped with reading schematics and trying to figure out what went where and how to wire it correctly. I already found several issues at work that Guidant Power don't do correctly and brought it up to the safety administration. Thank you for everything" Robert Gushura "I learned more than I expected to in this class. The instructor was very patient and easy to understand. Bryan Williams "Really enjoyed the class; lot of good information and reference material in this class" Chris Farr Who should attend. The Fundamentals of Electrical Maintenance course is for any electrician or technician working with industrial equipment rated at 600 volts or less, whether they're brand new to the field, crossing over from another trade, or experienced and due for a refresher. If you're looking to raise your team's skill level without the hassle of sending them off site, this course is a great option. The bottom line. The skills gap in electrical maintenance is real, it's accelerating, and it's not going to fix itself. Now, you have a convenient option to ensure everyone working on electrical system maintenance is knowledgeable and updated on the latest best practices to ensure safety and avoid downtime. Guidant's Fundamentals of Electrical Maintenance onsite course gives your team four days of focused, practical, hands-on training on your schedule, on your equipment, at your convenience. 70E(R), Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace(R), NFPA 70(R), NEC(R), and National Electrical Code(R) are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, MA.
