Clinically pure breathing air

Due to the large volume of air that most hospitals consume, on-site production is normally the most practical and cost effective method of supply. This is accomplished by compressing ambient air with medical air compressors which have to be strictly maintained and ensure that the risk of contamination is minimised as much as possible.

Medical grade compressed air is used for a variety of applications, ie respiratory systems or processes, ventilation, substitute for nitrous oxide in anaesthesia, instruments, and pneumatically powered surgical tools. These compressed air systems normally have filters or special scrubbers to remove carbon monoxide and other pollutants, but this is not enough, as the system has to be tested and verified (or certified) on a regular basis.

Α reliable breathing air control system (Medical Breathing Air Control) protects patients against impure compressed air and complies with the production monitoring of Medical Air.

A stay in hospital is never a pleasant experience. The pain, the worries about health, the fear of an operation. Many people find it particularly worrying to depend on technical systems, such as the breathing air supply in the operating room or in the intensive care unit. The demands on the operation of the life-saving systems are correspondingly high. Therefore, the "European Pharmacopoeia" stipulates exact limit values for the composition of the so-called "Medical Air", meaning the compressed air which, in Medicine, is applied as the breathing air.

Safe production of Medical Air.

Breathing air is subject to medical laws.

The Sigma 601 Series

• Particle concentration measurement
• Oil vapor measurement
• Dew point measurement
• Pressure measurement

For the control of the compressed-air quality in the medical field, we offer now a safe Medical Breathing Air Control system The Sigma 601 series. An uninterrupted service is as important as the purity of compressed air. High sensitivity of the system helps to immediately detect malfunction. Patients, as well as medical devices are thus protected at all times and the requirements on production monitoring are met.

The 601 Series Compressed Air Quality Analyzer, measures and monitors contaminants in real time, giving businesses confidence that its products and customers are protected.
The 601 series Compressed Air Quality Analyzer brings together state of the art technology in one easy to use package, allowing businesses to continuously monitor compliance to ISO 8573. The 601 monitors particle, dew point and oil vapor contamination across the full spectrum of ISO 8573 requirements including Class 0. Real time information can be retrieved from the 601 by SCADA systems via MODBUS outputs.
