Medical Compressed Air & Vacuum System 22nd ANNUAL GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING May 20 - 22, 2007 San Antonio, Texas Presentation by: Patrick Lorenz, Rogers Machinery Company, Inc. Brian Antony, John Henry Foster MN
Agenda Market Discussion • Opportunities • Competition Equipment Used in Hospital Applications • Types of Equipment • Sizing Application Success Stories • Mayo Clinic • North Memorial Hospital
Opportunity Hospitals offer an opportunity for sales in a wide range of products • Medical Air Systems • Medical Vacuum Systems • Waste Anesthetic Gas (WAG) Systems • Plant/Instrument Air and Laundry Air Systems
Gas System Risk Levels and Requirements • 3.3.90 Level 1 Medical Piped Gas and Vacuum Systems. Systems serving occupancies where interruption of the piped medical gas and vacuum system would place patients in imminent danger of morbidity or mortality. • 3.3.91 Level 1 Vacuum System. A system consisting of central-vacuum-producing equipment with pressure and operating controls, shutoff valves, alarm warning system, gauges, and a network of piping extending to and terminating with suitable station inlets at locations where patient suction could be required. • 3.3.92 Level 2 Medical Piped Gas and Vacuum Systems. Systems serving occupancies where interruption of the piped medical gas and vacuum system would place patientsat manageable risk of morbidity or mortality.
Gas System Risk Levels and Requirements (Continued) • 3.3.93 Level 3 Compressed Air System. A system of component parts, including, but not limited to, air compressor, motor, receiver, controls, filters, dryers, valves, and piping, that delivers compressed air <1100 kPa (<160 psi gauge) to power devices (hand pieces, syringe, cleaning devices, etc.) as a power source. • 3.3.94 Level 3 Piped Gas Systems. Systems serving occupancies where interruption of the piped medical gas would terminate procedures but would not place patients at risk of morbidity or mortality. • 3.3.95 Level 3 Piped Vacuum System. A Level 3 vacuum distribution system that can be either a wet system designed to remove liquids, air-gas, or solids from the treated area; or a dry system designed to trap liquid and solids before the service inlet and to accommodate air-gas only through the service inlet.

Plant & Laundry Air Systems Hospitals use “standard” air systems for these applications. • Typical range 5 – 25+ HP, Reciprocating or oil lube screws • Typically uses refrigerated dryers / standard grade coalescing filters • Redundancy is not required • Usually separate HVAC and laundry systems
Opportunity Medical equipment sold to Mayo Clinic and North Memorial Hospital. • Medical Breathing Air • Nitrogen Generators / Instrument Air • Lab Air • Medical Drying Packages • Hyperbaric Systems • Medical Vacuum/ W.A.G. Vacuum • Climate Control • Plant Air
Medical Breathing Air • Replace existing scrolls and rotary screw • Rented flow meter to establish size • Worked with project manager, maintenance manager and building engineer • Provided special control interface
Nitrogen Generators / Instrument Air • Quoting on replacing liquid nitrogen w/ generator • Reducing labor, handling liquid bottles, doers • Wanted local control of nitrogen source • Safety/Insurance
Lab Air • Hospital specified John Henry Foster, MN against engineering firms request. • Wanted common maintenance • Replace Atlas Copco unit • Level 2 with refrigerated dryer
Medical Drying Packages • Mayo Gonda building • Level 1 dryer failed • John Henry Foster provided same day rental • Replaced refrigerated dryer with desiccant • High probability to replace I.R. Compressions in the near future
