BOGE Compressors has published a new white paper that explains the key considerations for the reliable and cost-effective supply of regulation-compliant compressed air in hospitals.
Available as a free download, this new guide is a must read for facilities management teams in the healthcare sector that are responsible for the provision of medical gases.
Medical gases are used in a wide variety of applications within hospitals, including as breathing air for patients. Compressed air systems must therefore comply with a range of statutory requirements and standards. BOGE’s new guide provides valuable information on how to ensure compressed air is not only fit for use in hospitals and compliant with regulations and standards, but also cost effective to produce.
The guide outlines the important issues that need to be considered when specifying compressed air for use in hospitals, including the differences between types of compressed air systems; the importance of an effective filtration process; and ensuring compressed air is always available to meet demand. It explains how to achieve greater energy efficiency and outlines the options for ensuring production is cost effective and easy to manage.
Mark Whitmore, general manager at BOGE Compressors, said: “In the healthcare sector, where patient safety is the priority, compressed air systems have to meet a variety of demanding regulations that cover medical devices and medicines. But that doesn’t mean compressors can’t be energy efficient and cost effective.
“With our new guide, hospitals can gain a better understanding of how to ensure its compressed air systems are both efficient and cost-effective, while complying with all relevant regulations and delivering the reliable, highly-pure compressed air that is required.”
