Medical Air Systems mAIR, cAIR and sAIR HTM/ISO brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview of Medical Air Systems
The BeaconMedæs Medical Air Systems, including mAIR, cAIR, and sAIR, are designed to meet HTM 02-01, ISO 7396-1, and European Pharmacopoeia standards. These systems provide compressed air for medical and surgical applications, with mAIR at 4 bar, sAIR at 7 bar, and cAIR for both applications. The modular design allows for flexible installation, adhering to ISO 13485 quality management and CE certification under MDD 93/42/EEC.

Applications

Medical Air: Used in mechanical ventilation, anaesthesia, drug delivery, testing, and drying of medical devices.
Surgical Air: Powers pneumatic surgical tools, ceiling pendants, and high-speed motors, and is used for testing medical devices.

Purity and Efficiency
Medical air systems ensure ultra-clean air, crucial for patient care, and comply with the European Pharmacopoeia monograph. They feature microprocessor-controlled compressors to reduce energy consumption and wear. The systems are designed to maintain air purity even in polluted environments.

Pharmacopoeia Compliance
Key impurity limits include CO2 < 500 ppm, CO < 5 ppm, SO2 < 1 ppm, NOx < 2 ppm, and water vapour < 67 ppm. The air must be taste and odour-free, with oxygen levels between 20.4% and 21.4%.

Customizable Solutions
The systems offer modular configurations with up to six compressors, allowing customization of air flow and purification. Options include additional sensors and intelligent condensate drains. Various compressor types are available, such as oil-free scroll, oil-free tooth, and oil-injected screw, each with specific flow and power capacities.

Desiccant and Filtration
PSA1 desiccant towers ensure efficient dew point maintenance, with controlled changeover cycles to extend desiccant life. The QDT Hopcalite filter oxidizes CO to CO2, ensuring compliance with CO limits.

Energy Efficiency
Energy consumption is minimized through efficient desiccant regeneration and purge saver functions, reducing air purge losses significantly.

Advanced Control Systems
The ES-MED central controller offers efficient monitoring and control of compressors and purifiers, featuring a user-friendly display, real-time status access, and critical alarm connections to building management systems.

Environmental Considerations
The OSC Oil-water separator range treats compressor condensate, separating oil from water to prevent environmental harm. Atlas Copco's oil-free compressors are CLASS 0 certified, ensuring zero risk of contamination.

Pressure Regulation
Pressure Reducing Sets adjust output pressure for medical applications, with duplexed components for maintenance without service interruption. Simplex units are available for localized pressure reduction.

When purity and precision are key The critical field of patient care requires ultra-clean medical air delivered to operating theatres and hospital beds with absolute reliability. A hospital’s medical air supply is a vital life support service, maintaining respiration of the critically ill during mechanical ventilation. As such, within Europe, ‘medicinal air’ is classified as a drug, and the concentration of impurities therein must be carefully controlled to ensure compliance with the European Pharmacopoeia monograph. Built to exceed standards, medical air systems are designed to provide certified...
