Reliable medical gas systems 

Medical gas systems play a crucial role in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and gas mixtures with an elevated oxygen content are indispensable for daily patient care. That is why you must be able to trust that the system always functions safely and reliably.

A leak or malfunction can have serious consequences for the continuity of care and the safety of patients and healthcare professionals. Regular inspections help identify risks early and ensure the system’s reliability.

A thorough inspection 

During the inspection, our inspectors check the system for the distribution of medical flammable gases while it is under gas pressure. An important part of the inspection is the leak test, which allows us to determine whether the system is completely gas-tight.

By inspecting the system under operating conditions, we gain a reliable picture of its technical condition and safe operation. Afterward, you will receive a clear inspection report detailing the results and any areas requiring attention.
