The critical field of patient care requires ultra clean, purified, medical air delivered to operating theatres and hospital beds with absolute reliability. A hospitals medical air supply is a vital life support service, maintaining respiration of the critically ill during mechanical ventilation. As such, within Europe, ‘medicinal air’ is classified as a drug, and the concentration of any impurities therein must be carefully controlled to ensure compliance with the relevant European Pharmacopoeia monograph. 

The dMED (dual MED) is a duplexed purification package for converting a compressed air source into breathing quality air.

In Critical Care Areas

• Designs are configures to your individual needs
• Easy clean surfaces minimize the sanitation effort

Energy typically represents over 80% of a compressor’s life cycle cost. Looking continuously to innovate and reduce customer costs, Atlas Copco pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology in 1994. The GA-MED VSD compressor range is the ideal solution for a fluctuating air demand.

A Superior Mounting Solution

The BeaconMedæs Medizone™ Area Service Module blends seamlessly into the modern hospital environment. The tastefully sculptured profile is complimented by a range of colour options and the fresh aesthetics of the BeaconMedæs ZSU2 - zone service unit.

The Medizone™ is designed for rapid installation and can be surface mounted on a finished wall or flush fitted into a stud wall. Since all piping, wiring and pressure testing is completed prior to delivery, factory controlled quality is assured. The Medizone™ is surprisingly lightweight, owing to a high pressure compact laminate fascia plate and extruded aluminium frame construction.
 

Envirom Bedhead Trunking
Improving the patient environment is the key driver behind the design of the Envirom bedhead trunking system. The use of integral lighting and coloured fascia panels opens up new possibilities to enhance ward decor.

Superior Aesthetics
There is a strong emphasis on improving the patient environment in modern hospital design.  The way a patient feels is affected by many factors, including the environment they are in. Careful selection of colour, textures and lighting schemes within the patient environment have been proven to aid the recovery process.

Envirom Bedhead Trunking is supplied with coloured plates, so the bedhead system can compliment any chosen decor, enhancing the patient environment. This makes the ward ambience less clinical, more inviting, home like and relaxing.

Front and side panel fascia plates are pre cut before being sent away for powder coated painting. This enables the panels to be installed next to each other with no gaps, illiminating a potential dust trap and problem for cross infection. Flush mounted electrical components also  provide an easy to clean work surface.

Site Surveys
Our installation work starts before the engineers come to the site.  When we receive a request to quote Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS) work, we generally visit the site to ascertain any existing drawings are accurate as well as compliant to current standards (HTM02-01). The on site surveys are essential where new pipe work is required, and our engineers will take measurements to include existing and proposed usage so that the correct pipe sizes are used in the job.

Isometric drawings and plan drawings are used to extrapolate all possible components of the installation. In addition, we take into account any proposed future expansion, in order to save client costs going forward.
