Gas Probes for Secure Gas Transfer in Medical Facilities

Gas Probes are essential components that provide safe and accurate gas delivery from central medical gas systems to terminal units and end-user medical equipment. These probes are inserted into wall-mounted terminal units and transmit gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, medical air, and nitrous oxide to patient-use systems via hose connections.

Manufactured by Tecnomed in accordance with international standards, these probes ensure consistency, durability, and safety in daily hospital operations.

Application and Use

Tecnomed Gas Probes are designed for:

• Oxygen (O2)

• Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

• Medical Air 4 bar (MED AIR4)

• Medical Air 7 bar (MED AIR7)

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

They are used to transmit gas from terminal units to patient support systems such as ventilators, anesthesia machines, and resuscitation equipment.

Their secure connection to both the terminal and the hose ensures uninterrupted gas flow during procedures.

Material and Construction

Each probe is made from chrome plated brass, selected for its strength, corrosion resistance, and medical-grade hygiene compliance. The chrome coating ensures a long service life, even under frequent use and cleaning with hospital disinfectants.

The probe structure includes:

• Gas-specific connection union for hose attachment

• Labeling and markings specific to each gas type

• Leak-tight sealing for operational safety

---

Compliance with International Standards

Tecnomed Gas Probes are manufactured in line with the following international standards:

• BS 5682:1992 (British Standard)

• DIN 13260 (German Standard)

• AFNOR NF S 90-116 (French Standard)

This compatibility allows seamless integration into healthcare infrastructures in many regions. The probes match standard terminal unit designs and meet the safety, dimensional, and material requirements of each standard.

Safety and Identification

Each gas type is clearly identified by:

• Special mechanical keying

• Visual labeling

• Color coding as per standards

This prevents cross-connection of gases, ensuring that the correct probe can only be inserted into its matching terminal unit. This is a critical safety feature in oxygen-sensitive environments.
