Medical gas monitoring reaches ‘the next level’
BeaconMedæs has launched, and will show, what it is dubbing ‘the revolutionary TotalAlert Infinity notification system’ – to help healthcare facilities respond faster to a medical gas alerts.
It said: “The historical practice of medical staff relying upon simple buzzers to notify them of a medical gas supply problem leaves patients vulnerable to confusion and delays over who acts, and what action is taken, when an alarm goes off. To address this, and better protect patients in the event of an emergency, TotalAlert Infinity incorporates an LCD touchscreen that
displays customised instructions based on the nature of the problem detected. ‘Non- technical’ staff, such as nurses, thus have sufficient information to determine whether the equipment is safe to use, ensure that patients are not at risk, and take immediate action if necessary. The system can be networked across multiple devices to ensure that notifications and instructions are always directed to the most appropriate staff.”
The TotalAlert Infinity is designed to enable simple retrofitting to older alarms, including the BeaconMedæs MP125 and MP26 models.
Valve portfolio on view
ARI-Armaturen UK will present a variety of ‘economical solutions for healthcare’.
The company specialises in control, isolation, safety, and steam trapping, offering ‘an impressive portfolio of valves (including products for HVAC), steam traps, and engineered systems’. It said: “With the healthcare sector under pressure to cut emissions and reduce spend, ARI will show a range of products which can improve the energy efficiency of estates and facilities. The ENCOsys – a compact, low maintenance steam-to-water plate heat exchange system, and the CONA Control – a ‘smart device system’ designed to test all onsite steam traps and eliminate unnecessary energy loss, will be among the products shown.”
The CONA P – a combination of a pump and steam trap – will also be exhibited, along with the new variable and compact control valve, STEVI Vario.
First glimpse of mixer tap
Bristan will provide an exclusive first glimpse of its brand new SOLO2 – a DO8 and HTM 04-01-compliant thermostatic mixer tap designed to ease the complex specification of taps in healthcare. The SOLO2 boasts an easy maintenance base, which means filters and check valves can be cleaned or replaced without having to get below the basin; thus simplifying servicing regimes. Similar to Bristan’s ‘iconic’ H64 tap range, it also features a removable spout for easier access, while an in-box choice of open flow outlet or laminar flow straightener
offers greater flexibility. The tap also features a ‘unique’ smooth internal waterway, which is fully draining to prevent bacteria build-up, and is removable for easy cleaning. The SOLO2 has an automatic thermostatic shut-off in the event of hot or cold water supply failure, and a 5 litre/min flow regulator, in line with BREEAM criteria.
