DIN EN ISO 7396-1 defines requirements for planning, installing, and maintaining central gas supply systems in healthcare.
Central Medical Gas Systems
Laboratory and Device Standards
DIN EN ISO 15189 ensures quality in medical labs, including lab gas systems. DIN EN ISO 13485 applies to gas systems in medical devices.
High-Purity Gas Installations
VDMA 4390-1 provides guidance for the planning, installation, and extension of high-purity gas supply equipment in medical settings.
Technical gas 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
Research and Laboratories: In research facilities and laboratories, technical gases are needed for a variety of experiments and analyses. These include cell culture, biochemical analyses, gas chromatography, and many other scientific applications.
Sterilization and Disinfection: Technical gases such as compressed air are also used for operating sterilization and disinfection systems, which are essential in hospitals and laboratories.
The gases are transported through a network of pipes and valves to various consumption points. These systems are designed to maintain constant pressure and purity of the gases.
Technical gas systems are equipped with sensors and monitoring units that continuously check the condition of the gases 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, staff, and research teams, the systems are equipped with various safety mechanisms. These include emergency shut-offs, pressure relief valves, and regular maintenance and inspection intervals.
