THE MEV ®-STORY PPO-Elektroniikka was founded in 1981 as a manufacturer of professional electronics. Our aim was to develop a system to improve electrical safety in operating rooms. We started with our first-generation insulation monitoring equipment in the same year. The MEV system revealed a big problem: there were many more medical devices with electrical current leakages than had been expected. Up to 20 devices with problems were detected in average hospitals. Electrical and power failures were clearly a risk to staff, patients and operating room equipment. At the request of hospital...

THE MEV SYSTEM MONITORS 24/7 © The electric power network of the operating room is separated from the electrical grid by a medical insulation transformer. @ The insulation-level monitoring system monitors all the electrical devices connected behind this transformer. Units control the insulation level of the IT system, the transformer load, and temperature as well as the continuity of protective earth 24/7. © The equipment indicates the faults and problems before dangerous situations arise.

SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS It is a matter of patient and personnel safety, and a matter of cost savings in hospitals. Regardless of all the precautionary measures, the possibility of device failure, power failure or human error cannot be discounted. MEV Insulation Monitoring System protects the patients and personnel from electric shocks as well as prevents electrical fires and burns. MEV Insulation Monitoring System ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ Protects the patients and personnel from electric shocks Prevents electrical fires and burns Ensures that unnecessary downtime can be avoided Ensures that the...

¢ Durable, reliable and made in Finland on the principles of sustainable development. © Meets all the international regulatory acts and technical standards. ¢ All operating rooms in Finland use the MEV system. Over 30,000 MEV-insulation monitoring systems since 1981 in every hospital district (public healthcare) and private hospital in Finland. ° We have developed our fifth-generation MEV-8 in cooperation with hospital engineers and we have also good dialogue with our international partners. © One of the newest MEV-installations: The new Children's Hospital, which provides medical care for...

MIEV-8 IS MADE FOR ALL CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTS The monitoring of the critical conditions is a very important but invisible part of everyday life in settings where defective electrical equipment can cause seriously dangerous situations. Examples of such places and processes: ¢ In hospitals: operating rooms, operation preparation and post-operation facilities; anaesthesia rooms; intensive care rooms; heart catheterisation facilities; arteriography/angiographic rooms; premature baby care rooms ¢ Chemical laboratories ¢ Production and service areas © Operation of cranes and other hoisting...

MEV-8 FOR MONITORING THE INSULATION LEVEL OF A FLOATING IT NETWORK FOLLOWING AN ISOLATING TRANSFORMER The MEV-8 insulation level monitoring device monitors the insulation level of a floating IT network (leakage current), transformer load (current A) and temperature (°C). If an insulation fault occurs, the fault can also be located using an FI-8 fault locator unit. The continuity of protective earth is monitored with an LC-8 line controller. The LC-8 is a very important part of the insulation monitoring system. The LC-8 measures the ground continuity by monitoring the MEV-8 measurement...
