Function Medical Gas Terminal Unit’s are the connection point between the Piped Medical Gas System (PMGS) and the patient.
The units are installed at the bed head in every patient area within the hospital, such as Ward areas, Operating Theatres to ICU/CCU. Oxygen, Entonox, Nitrous Oxide, Medical Air, Surgical Air and Vacuum gas/service types are used in a variety of different applications.
Heritage − Gas Emitting Module. 10,000 probe insertions Commonly known as Gem 10 for short.
The world’s most popular British standard Medical Gas Terminal Unit just got better. With more than 1.3 million outlets sold worldwide proves you put your trust in a product proven to endure the test of time. Exceptionally low pressure drop performance leads to an unhindered effective working pressure. Ultimately this provides increased user performance. With other features such as high precision gas indexing, bed jacking engineered weak point and a unique check valve (amongst other things) you want to invest in a product with proven reliability.
Infection control Biomaster antimicrobial additives are included in all user accessible parts including the surface mounted back box and cover plate, even the ink! Mixing the additive at the manufacturing stage means the Gem 10 includes inherent properties that will last the life time of the product.
Independent testing proves a 99% reduction against MRSA and E-Coli. The gas identification ring has been redesigned as well. By making this a flush design, the dust trap often associated with other designs is now eliminated. Technology Biomaster antimicrobial additive uses a Silver Ion based technology. This prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, lasts the life time of the product and is safe and non toxic.
The technology used prevents cell division (mitosis), stops the cell producing energy and stops DNA replication. This 3 stage attack ultimately leads to the death of the bacterium. Almost as importantly, it does not allow bacteria to develop defences to its 3 stage action. Conclusion The new BeaconMedæs Gem 10 is the UK’s first Medical Gas Terminal Unit to offer inherent antimicrobial protection as standard. Its existing high reputation, superior performance and exclusive features the leading product in its class just moved another step away from it’s nearest competitor.
