Michell’s MDM300 portable dew-point hygrometer takes high-speed measurements of moisture in compressed air systems for surgical instruments and breathing air in spot-checks to ensure safety in hospitals.
Compressed air is used throughout hospitals for breathing air and instrument air. As with all compressed air systems, keeping moisture levels low – at a dew point of less than -46°C – is important to avoid corrosion, as well as reducing the risk of bacteria growing.
The MDM300 portable hygrometer provides peace of mind that the moisture level in the compressed air is at, or below, this dew-point temperature by enabling spot-checks to be made at critical points in the system.
The MDM300 is capable of taking measurements on breathing air or surgical air at line pressure with a simple sampling kit – the Medical Air kit. This allows the portable to connect directly to the bulkhead system with a standard 3/8” NGS probe. Because the MDM300 needs no waiting time between measurements – even to very low dew points – a large number of spot checks can be carried out each day. The instrument is easy to use, with an intuitive interface which needs the minimum of training to use. Crucially, the MDM300 gives ±1°C accuracy down to -60°C dew point, to give increased confidence in the safety of the compressed air.
