The innovative Medbac breathing air control system (Medical Breathing Air Control) protects patients against impure compressed air and complies with the monitoring requirements of "Aer medicalis".
A stay in hospital can be a worrying experience. Many people find it particularly hard to depend on technical systems, such as the breathing air supply in an operating room or intensive care unit. The demands on the operation of the life-saving systems are correspondingly high. Therefore, the "European Pharmacopoeia" stipulates exact limit values for the composition of the so-called "Aer medicalis", meaning the compressed air which, in Medicine, is applied as breathing air.
MedBAC from Beko is a compressed air monitoring system which constanly observes the content and delivery of medical compressed air.

Test instrument manufacturer Seaward Electronic Ltd. has introduced a new checkbox to verify the in-service performance of portable appliance testers.In keeping with the advice included in the latest IEE Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, the new Seaward PAT Checkbox is designed to check the accuracy of PAT testers and confirm that test readings remain valid during the period between formal re-calibration.
Lightweight and portable and easy to operate, the PAT Checkbox can be used to check all portable appliance testers in the Seaward range, as well as those from other manufacturers.When connected to the PAT tester being assessed, the Checkbox will automatically simulate earth bond, insulation, flash and earth leakage tests. A simple comparison of the value displayed on the PAT against the specified limits detailed on the rear of the Checkbox provides an immediate indication of the accuracy of the instrument.

Over the past 17 years, Management of Change (MOC) has received increased attention at chemical plants and refineries due to the promulgation of new OSHA regulations. Officially designated 29CFR 1910.119 Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, the OSHA PSM regulations state that any time a critical component in an oil or chemical plant changes, a formal MOC program is required to ensure that the proposed change is made safely.
However, recent analysis conducted by Gateway Consulting Group, a specialist in the design and implementation of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions for chemical and petrochemical plant environments, notes that while plant owners are in compliance with OSHA regulations, their MOC processes are not necessarily efficient. [Ref. 1]
Evidence of poor efficiency includes:Long cycle times for MOC closure; The need for, and hiring of, temporary staff to
"What is actually the added value of maintenance?" is a frequently heard question in boardrooms the world over. Even though maintenance is often critically important, few maintenance managers are able to answer the question convincingly. Especially when they are asked to express the benefits in terms of economic value added or shareholder value - the language increasingly being spoken in European boardrooms .
For this reason Mainnovation developed the Value Driven Maintenance
