A Cost-effective and Reliable Method to Predict Mechanical Stress in Single-use and Standard Pumps
Published on: August 5, 2015
Abstract:
Oil-free technology for the production of medical air is used in many medical gas systems around the world, and is a requirement of the standards in many places. Under the Department of Health's Health Technical Memorandum, HTM O2-O1, this is not the case, although 'oil-free' is an option. Mark Allen, vice-president of Medical Marketing at Atlas Copco/BeaconMedaes, who is involved with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the US, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada, and the ISO SC-6 (a technical committee on indoor air), discusses how harnessing such technology impacts on production of medical air under the pharmacopeia, and the potential opportunities to reduce maintenance and system problems.
