GSS

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Automatic Gas Source Switch (GSS) is designed for medical devices such as transport incubators, respirators, and anesthesia devices. It allows these devices to switch between gas supply from a cylinder during transport and a central gas system when stationary, enhancing economic efficiency and patient safety.

Key Benefits:

Increased safety for users and patients.
Economic gas supply from a central gas socket.
Reduced frequency of gas cylinder replacements.
Compact design and easy device connection.
Green pressure indicator for gas supply status.

Technical Specifications:

Compatible Gases: O2, air, N2O (on request).
Input Pressure: 3-6 bar at gas socket; 3.6-5.5 bar at pressure reducer.
Output Pressure and Flow: Matches input pressure and flow.
Material: Nickel-plated aluminum alloy.
Dimensions: 42×65×74 mm; Weight: approx. 400 g.
Maintenance: Maintenance-free with a maximum life of 10 years.
Usage: Suitable for emergency and transport scenarios.

Connection Details:

Inlet Hose Attachment: NIST or Afnor from gas socket; M12 × 1 (O2) or M20 × 1 (Air) from pressure reducer.
Outlet Hose Attachment: M15 × 1 (O2) or M17 × 1 (Air) to consumer.

Functionality: The GSS automatically switches between gas cylinder supply and gas socket connection, prioritizing the more economical gas socket. It switches to the gas cylinder only if the gas socket pressure falls below a preset minimum level.
