Function
The field of patient care requires ultra clean, purified, medical air delivered to operating theatres and hospital beds with absolute reliability. A hospital’s medical air supply is a vital life support service, maintaining respiration of the critically ill during mechanical ventilation.
Compressors
The highest specification of compressor is recommended for the demanding medical environment, where frequent stop/starting and cycling of compressors is common. mAIR incorporates Atlas Copco’s GA-MED screw compressor, a purposely engineered medical variant of the GA compressor.
As a hospitals flow demand varies throughout the day we can now offer Variable Speed Drive (VSD) screw compressors. Matching the speed of the compressor exactly to the demanded flow at any given time, this provides significant energy savings.
Air Purifier and Dryer
The dMED includes a hopcolite catalyst as standard, so we can guaranty carbon monoxide levels beneath those stated in the European Pharmacopeia monograph, even in high urban areas.
Emphasis was also placed on reducing the footprint, as space within the plant room can often be confined.
Controller
When designing a new controller improvements to the monitoring systems were essential. The ES-MED central controller can be connected to the hospitals LAN computer network, enabling live status of the plant to be monitored from any PC terminal including details of system alarms, run hours, pressure of supply, dewpoint level etc.
It is also possible to include additional hardware which enables SMS text and email alerts to be sent to the user. Additionally, user friendliness is enhanced with the easy to operate central plant controller with a 5.7” colour display.
Conclusion
The mAIR system meets the requirements of UK Department of Health HTM02-01 and is CE marked according to the MDD 93/42, offering our customers long lasting peace of mind. With superior controls, high efficiency compressors, easy installation and maintenance the BeaconMedæs mAIR Medical Air plant is the leading product in its class.
