Medical IT Power for Critical Care Areas

Compact electrical safety in operating theatres and intensive care units

In group 2 medical locations, the use of unearthed systems (IT systems) is a mandatory requirement in accordance with electrical and healthcare standards.  Any interruption to the power supply is disruptive to services and potentially life-threatening to the patients. The mandatory use of Medical IT power means medical electrical devices/systems remain active on a first fault and there is no dangerous increase in the touch voltage. Through the incorporation of Bender Sil 2 compliant changeover technology and uninterruptible power, resilience can be improved and risks reduced.

REQUEST ADVICE

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

Provide emergency power supply to specific loads in the event of main power failure

Industry standards, including IEC 60364-7-710 and HTM06-01, require that if a hospital’s main power supply fails an alternative should kick-in within 0.5 seconds, at least in areas where isolated power is installed. And for some electronic equipment even this is too long.

Electrical power supplies and IPS systems can have their reliability enhanced with Uninterruptible Power Supplies, ATICs and back-up generators. UPS systems can be supplied as standalone units or for enhanced resilience, may be configured as N+ 1 solution with single, double or triple input supplies. Isolated Power Supplies configured with ATICs and N+1 UPS systems are often considered the most resilient solutions available.

Alarms and diagnostics from the various elements of the system can be integrated to provide operational reports, predictive forecasts, current and emergency information.

This can be supplied directly to theatre staff, facilities managers and other appropriate people.

Touchscreen Theatre Control Solutions

Monitor and control the entire operating theatre environment

Touchscreen theatre control panels (TCPs) are widely adopted for use within hospital operating theatres and critical care areas to help surgeons monitor clocks, power, essential technologies, and combine controls through a single interface panel.
 
TCPs have advanced, from a stainless steel designed panel to the inclusion of membrane push buttons, and now they incorporate more advanced features and glass facias.
 
COMTRAXX® CP9 24” is an innovative theatre control panel offering a sleek and sophisticated method of controlling the entire operating theatre from a central location.

The design incorporates human machine interface (HMI) and programmable logic controller for integration of connected systems such as lighting, temperature and humidity, ventilation and other critical alarms controls.

Nurses' station

Everything at a glance for a safe operation

All the information, including any alarms from operating theatres or intensive care units, comes together at the nurses’ station. It is good when the alarm indicator and test combination installed is as compact, simple to use and clear as possible. External alarms, (UPS off, laser warning on, etc.) should also be visible there. Alarm indicator and test combinations from Bender are adapted to your specific requirements.

REQUEST ADVICE

Equipotential Bonding Bar (EBB) or Earth Reference Bar (ERB)

For safe earthing of Medical locations and equipment, ensuring electrical safety for staff and patients

The purpose of an EBB or earth reference bar (ERB) is to equalise the potential difference between conductive parts and protective conductors located in the Group 1 and 2 Medical Locations.

All extraneous metalwork within the patient area must be bonded to the EBB.  In these areas the measured resistance of the protective conductor between the earth terminal of any socket-outlet (or fixed equipment) and any extraneous conductive part shall not exceed 0.2Ω, assuming type `B` MCBs are being used and further consideration should be given when using alternative types.

Bender EBBs are available in a range of size and specifications. Options include non-ferrous, single and multi-patient in flush or surface mount enclosures.
