Medical Oxygen Systems in Healthcare

Medical oxygen systems are an essential part of the infrastructure in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. They ensure a continuous and reliable supply of medical oxygen, which is crucial for numerous applications in patient care.

Ventilation & Anesthesia

In intensive care and surgeries, oxygen is used for ventilation and in anesthesia with other medical gases.

Emergency Medicine

In emergencies, a quick and steady oxygen supply is critical for stabilizing and treating patients effectively.

Long-term Therapy

Patients with chronic respiratory issues need continuous oxygen therapy via medical oxygen delivery systems.

Medical oxygen 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

Medical oxygen can either be produced on-site by oxygen generators or sourced from external suppliers. Modern oxygen generators are capable of continuously providing high-purity oxygen that meets the stringent requirements of medical applications.

The generated oxygen 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 oxygen.

Medical oxygen systems are equipped with sensors and monitoring units that continuously check the condition of the oxygen 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.
