Medical gas source Equipment
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Medical Air and Nitrous Oxide can be supplied from high pressure gas cylinders or storage tanks. In large installations Medical Oxygen and Nitrogen can also be generated on-site. Aspects such as safety, statutory regulations and noise pollution are to be considered and adequately provided for.
Medical Air System
Medical Air is generated on-site using special Air Compressors. The total system consists of Air Receivers, Air Driers and Filters and suitable controls and monitoring instruments to ensure that adequate pressure is always maintained in the Compressed Air pipeline system. Selecting the proper capacity of Compressor and ensuring that the proper pressure and flow rate are available at all the usage points is critical for the effective functioning of the pneumatic tools and for delivering pure Medical grade Air to the patients.
Vacuum System
Medical Vacuum is created using high efficiency vacuum plants which are installed on-site. Suitable alarms and control instrumentation are provided to ensure continuous vacuum availability. Designing the pipeline system to ensure proper suction conditions at the usage point is critical for the efficient operation of the system.
Anaesthetic gas scavenging system
The Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging (AGS) disposal system connects to the patients breathing circuit via a
transfer and receiving system and removes expired anaesthetic gas from its source. The anaesthetic gas
scavenging disposal system
An AGS Simplex consists of a single exhauster unit, operated by remote start switches and an individual flow
regulating valve.
An AGS Duplex consists of a double exhauster unit, controlled by an automatic changeover electrical control
circuit, which selects the “Standby” exhauster unit when the system conditions require. This arrangement will
operate to select “Standby” in the event of a defect, which fails the “Duty” exhauster unit, and will operate
to select “Standby” when vacuum levels fall below a predetermined figure. This type of installation may
enable the use of the selected “Duty” exhauster unit during normal usage and selects the “Standby” exhaust
