BOC has launched a new Backfeed Kit for supplying medical oxygen to healthcare facilities while the main pipework infrastructure is being isolated.
The kit is typically being used for supporting wards, special care baby units, and high dependency units, during shutdowns, system failure, or pipeline breach.
BOC added: “Easy to use, lightweight, and secure, the system is designed to be a useful tool at the hospital engineer’s disposal, available just a telephone call away.”
Richard Maycock IEng MIHEEM, an Authorising Engineer (MGPS), and business manager, Medical Engineering Services, at BOC Healthcare, has a team that delivers medical gas training to ensure that estates, EBME, nursing, and portering staff, meet HTM standards.
Other services offered range from Operational Policy, and ‘As fitted’ drawings, to audits and risk assessments.
