CLEAN AIR IS A MUST FOR PATIENT SAFETY

Two ideologies:
1. HTM/ISO take in ambient air, use any type of air compression method (oil-injected or oil-
free) and ensure patient safety by means of an ultra high purification system (MED + QDT)
2. NFPA99 (US) / CSA 7396-1 (CAN) be more stringent on air quality intake and ensure
patient safety by not adding contaminants during the air compression stage

In normal operation both systems will provide clean air, however only oil-free solutions fully
eliminate the risk of oil carry-over to the patient

WHAT'S WRONG WITH OIL IN AIR ?

2-3 mg/m = 5 LITERS / YEAR

1)UNDER-USAGE
A tangible threat in medical

ISO7396-1 (HTM02-01 for UK) requires 3 redundant compressors

The design flow is often hugely oversized! Emulsification

The addition of terminal units in areas with low usage or occupancy adds a need for additional
flow capacity which is seldom needed think of medical air in ward areas for example

HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE THESE IN USE?

Sometimes? Occasionally?
Often? ALMOST NEVER...

All this under-usage leads to creation of condensation & blockages downstream.

Solutions? Oil-free (or VSD)

1)UNDER-USAGE
A tangible threat in medical
Other applications vulnerable to under-usage:
Teaching facilities
Military facilities
Laboratories or R&D facilities
Sterilisation facilities

Other causes of under-usage:

Oversizing for future expansion of a hospital
adds up to 25% on top of an already oversized system

IF THE AIRPLANT IS SIGNIFICANTLY

UNDER-USED

OIL-FREE (OR VSD) ELIMINATES

THE RISK !
2)OIL CARRY OVER
A tangible threat in medical

ISO7396-1 (HTM02-01 for UK) requires 2 redundant Air

treatment devices (MED)
Performance stated at 20C !
What happens in real life ?
CONSEQUENCES OF OIL

A failure of any of the air treatment components could cause:

Risk to patient health
Require complete rebuilding of hospital pipelines
Damage to expensive equipment (e.g. anesthesia machine)
3) LACK OF MAINTENANCE
Causing damage to dryer components

Although oil carry-over happens in medical systems,

generally this does not cause harm to patients
More likely the problem is contamination of
components

Saturated filters are often the route cause !

This is often a problem with maintenance (OR LACK

OF)! In particular this is a problem where there is little
or no dedication to preventive or routine
maintenance.
3)LACK OF MAINTENANCE
Causing damage to Air treatment components

Does this sound familiar in your facility?

If it does then oil-free solutions offer complete piece of

mind
By eliminating the risk of oil damaging the purification
system

= TOTAL PATIENT SAFETY

ATLAS COPCO IS A
Global market Leader in oil-free technology

Active in oil-free for more than 60 years

We have installed > 40,000 oil-free machines
World wide
We are The First manufacturer to receive
ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 certificate
We offer the widest range of pressures (up
to 13 bar - AQ) and FAD (2 l/s - 155 l/s),
using 3 different technologies to produce
100% oil-free air: piston - tooth - water
injected screw
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY

FACT The removal of waste oil is

expensive, difficult to handle and an
environmental hazard
Local regulations oblige additional
investments to remove and treat
contaminated condensate.
CONCLUSION THE ADVANTAGES OF OIL-FREE AIRPLANTS

No risk of oil carry-over

No risk of damaged dryer components
No emulsification
More environmental friendly
Higher customer value

Clean air is a choice you make choose oil free

Oil-free, contaminant free risk free

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL COMPRESSORS
Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC
ISO
Due to the compressor being considered part of a Medical
Device (Medical Airplant), it should:
Have a risk analysis
Software should be compliant with EN62304 (class A)
Software should be extensively tested acc. to standard
Test report should be created and available on request
EMC test performed (Domestic/industrial Environment !)
HTM
Be part of technical file (MDMF) for a Medical Airplant
Have automatic-restart-after-power-failure activated
Additional safety features based on Risk Analysis
Specific test procedures during design, production, installation
and commissioning
Tested as a complete package Medical Airplant
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL COMPRESSORS
