Compressed air is used for patient ventilation support and to deliver anesthesia with other medical gases.
Ventilation and Anesthesia
Surgical Equipment Use
Compressed air powers surgical instruments through the central air system in hospital operations.
Laboratories and Diagnostics
Compressed air supplies analytical instruments and supports precise testing in diagnostic laboratories.
Medical compressed air systems must comply with applicable standards and regulations, such as DIN EN ISO 7396-1. These standards ensure that the systems meet the highest quality and safety requirements.
Key Components and Functions
Compressed air is transported through a network of pipes and valves to various consumption points within the hospital. These systems are designed to maintain constant pressure and purity of the air.
Medical compressed air systems are equipped with sensors and monitoring units that continuously check the condition of the compressed air and the operation of the system. In case of deviations or malfunctions, alarms are automatically triggered to enable immediate action.
To ensure the safety of patients and staff, the systems are equipped with various safety mechanisms. These include emergency shut-offs, pressure relief valves, and regular maintenance and inspection intervals.
