Central Medical Gas: Distribution System

Central medical gas distribution systems have several key components and advantages over individual gas cylinders. A central system supplies oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, and vacuum to hospital areas through a piping network connected to gas supply sources. It provides uninterrupted, contamination-free gas delivery while efficiently using space. The system includes manifolds to supply gas to the pipes, shutoff valves, terminal outlets, and monitoring to ensure proper gas levels and pressures. On-site gas generators can produce oxygen from ambient air to provide an economical alternative to cylinder delivery.

Central Medical Gas

Distribution System
WHAT IS CENTRAL MEDICAL GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM?

• Medical Gas Distribution System is a central supply


system to supply a medical gas (O2, N2O, N2),
medical air, and medical vacuum to each ward of
hospital safely and conveniently through a central
supply piping from medical gas supply sources.

• The system has a thoroughgoing color coordination


according to the kind of gas.

• An audio-visual monitoring system capable of


checking the situation.

ADVANTAGES OF CENTRALISED MEDICAL GAS
DELIVERY SYSTEM

• No distressing sign of oxygen cylinder at bed


side.

• Elimination of noise produced by their


movement.

• Protection of sterile areas from


contamination caused by use and movement
of cylinder.

• Uninterrupted and clean gas supply at each


work station.

• Safe And Relief System

• Effective use of space. Additionally it is


economically advantageous and hygienic.

TYPES OF MEDICAL GASES

• Oxygen- used for respiratory therapy and life-support • Helium/oxygen mixture is used to treat patients with
and is additionally used in anaesthetic procedures. respiratory or airway obstruction.

• Medical air-This is supplied by a specialized air •Carbon dioxide in used in the medical world to aid
compressor to patient care areas. Used extensively in laparoscopic examination. The carbon dioxide inflates the
the ICU, PICU, and NICU areas, to reduce the risk of stomach slightly which simplifies internal visibility inside
excess oxygen in the lungs, during surgical procedures. the abdomen.

• Surgical air is used, at a higher pressure, to power a • Piped vacuum or Suction is provided by means of
variety of surgical tools and other devices. centrally sited vacuum pumps & supports evacuation
procedures.
• Nitrous oxide is used for anaesthetic and analgesic
purposes.

• Shut off valve system is
A pipeline system is a system that
used on each floor of the
includes; hospital or on the entrance
 The pipeline network of the gas port of the
operation room
 The control unit and
 The piped material should be copper • It main has two functions:
seamless tubes. To reduce gas pressure and
to shut off gas pipes.

3. MONITORING & ALARM SYSTEM


The system always monitors the remains
of medical gas, troubles of machines,
and abnormalities in pressure in a lump
to perfectly operate equipment which
directly link to life.
2 types:
• Area alarm : monitor pipeline
pressure within a ward, ot etc.
• Master alarm panel : provides
continuous monitoring of medical gas
installations across hospitals .

4. TERMINAL GAS OUTLETS

These terminal gas outlets are colour-coded, labelled with gas name
and have self-sealing sockets.

Gas specificity- The terminal unit shall only accept the probe for the
gas for which it is intended.

7
TYPES OF TERMINAL GAS OUTLETS
Outlets can be installed as flush fitting units, surface-fitting units on booms or pendants,
suspended on a hose and gang mounted.
Hanging From Ceiling Ceiling column & pendent Bedhead Unit

4. GAS MANIFOLD

Gas manifolds are designed to supply the pipeline


system with sufficient quantity of gas by cylinders
and/or tanks.

The typical manifold for medical gases usually


consists of a two-sided cylinder supply with
automatic changeover between the empty and full
side, and an additional third source for emergency
supply.

MANIFOLD ROOM
 Consists of a cylinder manifold and a control
panel
 Manifold can be of 2 banks of 2 cylinders each or
2 banks of 20 cylinders each.
 Control panel: primary and secondary pressure
regulations: warning lamp.

WHY CHOOSE ONSITE GAS GENERATORS?
ON SITE GAS PRODUCTION

• Oxygen is produced onsite, instantaneously


from ambient air freely available.

• The medical oxygen generator come with


oxygen purity monitoring device which
ensure oxygen produced is within the
acceptable purity limits.

(PSA) PRINCIPLE

• PSA (pressure swing adsorption) is an • Ambient air entering the compressors is 78% nitrogen, 21%
economical alternative for onsite oxygen, less than 1% argon and other gases.
production of oxygen for medical use
and is in use for over 30 years in the • As nitrogen is separated, the resulting product gas is up to
medical industry. 95.5% oxygen purity.
