BeaconMedaes and Atlas Copco have combined their expertise and knowledge to launch what the two companies describes as a new generation of medical vacuum plant.
Key improvements include increased performance and usability, and “an advanced control system” which provides remote live monitoring and SMS text and email alerts. Additionally, user-friendliness has been enhanced via an easy-to-operate central plant controller with 5.7 in colour display. Thanks to a smaller footprint and easy access to serviceable parts, the new mVAC plant is said to provide better usability and simplified maintenance.
Designed for use “in every patient area within the hospital”, from ward areas to operating theatres, the Medical Vacuum System is used to remove body fluids of different types. When designing the plant, particular emphasis was placed on user- friendliness; the introduction of a modular pump-mounted frame provides “greater design and installation flexibility”, and improved component layout.
When designing the new controller, BeaconMedæs and Atlas Copco say improvements to the monitoring systems were essential. As standard, each motor control panel and the ES (electronic sequencing)–Vac central controller can be connected to the hospital’s computer network. Live status of the plant, including details of any system alarms, run hours, level of vacuum etc, can be monitored from any PC terminal, while optional additional hardware enables SMS text alerts and emails to be sent to user-programmed contacts.
The mVAC system meets the requirements of HTM02-01, and is CE marked according to the MDD 93/42, “offering customers long-lasting peace of mind”.
The two companies add: “With superior controls, high efficiency vacuum pumps, and simple installation and maintenance, the BeaconMedæs mVAC Medical Vacuum Plant is the leading product in its class.”
