Elements of the gas distribution system

 In addition to direct sources of medical gas and medical consoles, the medical gas supply system includes a number of smaller elements that ensure the efficient use of the system by medical gas consuming devices, and as well as convenient maintenance of the system itself. Among the specified elements of the system: are monitoring (dispatching) of the gas supply system, control and disconnecting boxes (COKs), medical gas sockets and gas socket panels, as well as various attachments (for example, flow meters, gas humidifiers).

Monitoring and dispatching systems for medical gases

Dispatching systems such as Medical Gas Manifolds are necessary to control the flow of (current, total) medical gas in the system, to maintain the operating pressure in all elements of the gas distribution system, and to detect and signal possible problems.

Control and disconnect boxes

According to safety and maintenance requirements, shut-off valves must be provided in centralized gas distribution systems to ensure free interruption of the flow. Shut-off valves are assembled in boxes, placed taking into account the possibility of sectional disconnection of the network. In other words, boxes should be placed in front of every ward, operating room, intensive care unit, or dispensary.

The control station has the same cut-off function as the control box, but also contains quick connectors and pressure gauges. To notify personnel of pressure drops, the control station can also be equipped with sensors that transmit signals to the appropriate devices and systems and can also be supplied with one of these systems (medical gas dispatch systems such as Medical Gas Hose Fittings).

Medical gas sockets

Medical gas sockets are quick connectors for connecting consumers of medical gases, such as oxygen flow meters, artificial lung ventilation devices, anaesthesia and respiratory devices, vacuum regulators and injection suction devices and other equipment that requires gas supply, used in wards, intensive care units and intensive care units, and operating rooms. The gas socket valve can be either built into a wall or a medical console (wall, ceiling, bridge), as well as a surface-mounted design.

The Med Gas Outlets must be labelled with the appropriate medical gas or vacuum (oxygen, compressed air 5/8 bar, vacuum, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, narcotic gas exhaust) and have an individual connector to prevent incorrect connection of devices.

Gas outlet panels

Medical Gas Outlets, otherwise known as small wall panels, are connection points to the medical gas distribution. The panel may have a quick connection socket dedicated to that gas or a pressure gauge. In addition, there are small wall panels with the drive of surgical instruments - Air motor, as well as with the AGSS system for extracting anaesthetic mixtures. Gas socket panels can either be built into the wall or installed on it.
