Michell’s MDM300 portable dew-point hygrometer takes high-speed measurements of moisture in compressed air systems used for surgical instruments and breathing air, ‘in spotchecks’, to ensure safety in hospitals.
The company explained: “Compressed air is used throughout hospitals for breathing and instrument air. As with all compressed air systems, keeping moisture levels low (at a dew point of less than –46°C) and reduce the risk of bacteria growing. “The MDM300, which undergoes a 13-point calibration over 10 days before leaving the factory, verifies that the level is at, or below, this dew-point temperature, by enabling spot-checks at critical points. It can measure breathing or surgical air at line pressure with a simple sampling kit – the Medical Air kit, allowing the portable to connect directly to the bulkhead system via a standard 3/8 in NGS probe. Because the MDM300 needs no waiting time between measurements, numerous spot checks are possible each day.
