The first medical regulators were just industrial regulators with a few alterations. Today’s medical gas control devices have many advanced design features that make them easier to use, more accurate, simpler to maintain and less costly. Now, as COVID-19 has brought about the highest need for medical oxygen than ever before, there’s a higher demand for gas delivery devices such as regulators and flowmeters.

WHICH DEVICE DEPENDS ON APPLICATIONS

Knowing which devices to choose depends on the application for which it’s going to be used. The primary applications for oxygen (and oxygen mixes such as nitrous oxide) are hospital wards, emergency medical services (ambulance, rescue kit), long-term care facilities and home. Each of these situations has different variables that require different devices.

THE SOURCE ACCORDING TO DELIVERY POINT

The source of medical oxygen also varies by delivery point. Bulk vessels are used in mid- to large-sized hospitals and long-term care facilities that require constant access to gas. The bulk tank is connected to a central gas supply system that has terminals through out the facility.

The team went a thorough overview of all MCGS from the product range, to ISO standard to MDR. They have been presented also the main topics and goals of the Hospital Ward and Emergency equipment.

The event was a great success and we are prepared to continue to support our colleagues and customers. 

Please contact our teams in any matters.

Since the introduction of portable oxygen concentrators (POC) in the 1970s, patients with respiratory issues have experienced a dramatic improvement in the quality of life. There has been a marked increase in people diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) and, consequently, the market for POCs is expected to hit $2.8bn by 2025.

In recent years, home oxygen providers’ reimbursement for home oxygen systems in the US and across Europe has been decreasing, forcing many to find ways to reduce costs. This has resulted in increased use of POCs – along with embedded smart technologies to improve monitoring and lower maintenance costs.

Harnessing the latest advances in mobile/cellular and GPS tech, some the most advanced POCs can now help both clinicians and home oxygen providers to monitor the device remotely to improve patient care.

These devices, such as GCE Healthcare’s Zen-O and Zen-O lite POCs, have a built-in SIM card enabling providers to review the POCs’ usage history – making sure patients have the right system and are adhering to their oxygen therapy.

Sir Humphrey Davey (also the inventor of the Davey lamp) first began using gases for pain relief in the 19th Century.

In 1844, Gardner Quincy Colton, an American showman, medicine man, lecturer, and former medical student presented a demonstration of nitrous oxide inhalation, and the need to assure the correct gas was being connected was born.

The US Fire Protection Association, together with CGA along with the American Society of Anaesthesiologists designed the Pin Index system in 1952.

The extremely compact valve design uses geometrically arranged pins and hollows surrounding the gas connection eliminates the risk of accidental connection of an incorrect gas.

In recent years, however, customer needs demand both higher purity and greater medicinal integrity levels within each gas cylinder, requiring the inclusion of a Residual Pressure Device (RPD).

But the beneficially compact size of the Pin Index valve makes this an extremely challenging technical hurdle.

GCE is delighted to bring to the Global Market their new PIN index valves with RPD to fulfil all of these needs.

El oxicorte es un proceso basado en la reacción química del acero con el oxígeno. El acero calentado entra en un proceso de auto combustión, es decir, que se trata de una combustión del metal y no de una fusión como ocurre en procesos láser o plasma. El chorro de Oxígeno propaga la oxi-combustión del metal y lo mueve fuera de la sangría por energía cinética.

El oxicorte se opone en este sentido la tecnología láser o plasma, que tiende a quemar el metal (cambiando su estructura y debilitado el material cerca de la zona cortada). El oxicorte es un proceso económico, que permite el corte de aceros hasta 2 metros de espesor, la tecnología más eficiente cuando se trata de cortar más de 2”.

VENTAJAS DEL OXICORTE

• Mantiene estructura y resistencia de los metales cerca de la zona cortada protegida.
• Incomparable perpendicularidad del corte, reduciendo las operaciones post-corte.
• Reducción de la sangría (3 a 6 veces menor que con la tecnología plasma).
• Menos generación de humos y polvos finos y nocivos para la salud de los operarios.
• Menos cambios y gastos de consumibles, haciendo el proceso extremadamente eficaz a nivel de costo por metro línear cortado.

¿REGULADOR DE PRESIÓN?

Por definición, un regulador es simplemente un tipo de válvula diseñada para regular y estabilizar sistemas de presión aguas abajo. A medida que el contenido del cilindro de gas se consume por etapas durante el trabajo, la presión aguas arriba del regulador varía. La tarea del regulador es trabajar con estos cambios y mantener los parámetros de la presión de salida tan estables como sea posible.

Hay varios modelos de reguladores disponibles para permitir un nivel razonable de precisión en el mantenimiento de la presión, proporcionando  la velocidad de caudal demandada, y cumpliendo con los requisitos específicos de caudal y presión. Para asegurar una correcta regulación y, por  lo tanto, un suministro adecuado de gas, el usuario deberá tener en cuenta los parámetros de funcionamiento antes de la compra del producto. Su criterio elemental deberá ser el siguiente:

• Tipo de gas
• Presión de gas
• Caudal de gas
• Estabilidad de presión

 Gas Control Equiment le ofrece reguladores de presion de:

• Simple etapa
• Con economizador de argón
• Doble etapa
• Alta presión
• Gran caudal

When the bottle is opened, this natural, dissolved CO₂ creates an effervescent “fizz” as it breaks free from solution in the drink wherever a bubble nucleation site exists, giving these drinks their distinct refreshing appeal and contributing to their mouthfeel.

In modern times, brewers and winemakers began to enhance the gasification process by adding supplementary CO₂ to modify the level of carbonation in drinks to change the taste, look and feel of the drinks, as well as preserving the beer.

GCE now offer a range of re-useable, interchangeable gas cylinder diptubes to suit all cylinder sizes. 

These devices ensure that during cylinder filling, the High Pressure Nitrogen is jetted right into the body of the liquid CO₂ resting at the bottom of the cylinder during the filling processThis vapourises and agitates the CO₂, rapidly mixing the gases together.

Have you ever wondered why eggs remain fresh longer unrefrigerated than you might expect from any other similar dairy foods? Cream, for example, would quickly turn sour, smelly and green if not kept in a fridge. 

Eggs are blessed with a semi-permeable membrane under their shells, which helps to keep environmental contaminants out.

So why are beverage gas cylinders like chickens?

The answer is quite simple. Chickens through their natural respiration process, carbonate their eggs with CO₂ before laying them, ensuring longevity even in the warmest of conditions, in a nest underneath a chicken, for example.

So a chicken is like a beverage gas cylinder as it delivers the perfect gas mixture into a comestible product to ensure the product remains fresh longer, looking, feeling and tasting exactly as it should. 

Today, the brewing industry comprises several multinational companies and a multitude of smaller producers ranging from brewpubs to regional and national breweries. 

You can see using of tubes during the exact mixing of CO2 in the animation.

Specialty gases are used in various industries and applications. GCE gas control equipment is made to initiate, stabilize and avoid chemical processes and increase the efficiency of the welding and cutting processes.

An important part of the catalogue also concerns supply systems of medical gases in hospitals. High-purity gases require high-quality products.

To raise awareness of this debilitating condition, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) is marking the 21st November 2018 as World COPD Day with the theme ‘Never too Early, Never too late’.

This type of progressive lung disease is characterised by increasing breathlessness, leading to a growing demand for Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC).  Designed to improve quality of life for COPD patients, GCE Healthcare has increased the investment in research and development to help patients remain active and independent. 

Our product innovations include the Zen-O™ and Zen-O lite™ portable oxygen concentrators, which allow patients the freedom to move both inside and outside their home. They also offer best in class technology to detect shallow breaths and deliver a constant bolus of oxygen in response to different activity levels and breath rate.

With GCE Healthcare’s latest product Clarity, we’re harnessing advances in telehealth technology to allow providers and clinicians to review POCs’ usage history to make sure they are using the right system and are adhering to their oxygen therapy.

GCE Customer & Supplier information (pdf, 64kB)

Malmö, Sweden, 3^rd July 2018 – GCE Group has launched a new research and testing facility at Chotěboř, Czech Republic, to raise the standard for safety and performance across the gas industry.

Gas control equipment is investing in cutting-edge technology to challenge existing standards and expand knowledge of the behaviour and lifetime effects of a diverse range of materials involved in the use of pressurised oxygen.

GCE is particularly focused on testing the ability of components to withstand adiabatic compression, a much-misunderstood phenomenon that can pose a serious fire hazard if overlooked. The research comes at a critical time for the gas control industry, following a growing number of globally reported Oxygen gas incidents that underline the need for greater awareness of the complex-and dangerous-properties of pressurised oxygen.

In Europe and US, there are two main competing standards, from the International Standardization Organisation (ISO) and ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials). GCE asserts that ASTM, favoured by the US, is the more rigorous standard and should be adopted as the global minimum. The European Union currently only requires compliance with the ISO standard.

However, according to Gareth Pemberton, GCE Group Director of Innovation:

“Neither standard reflects the real-world demands placed on gas control equipment. We’re committed to ensuring safe operation when reality deviates from conversative laboratory conditions.”

GCE has invested in the latest technology in its pursuit of performance. A high-speed video camera with high contrast ratios and high frame rates enables the manufacturer to record external ignition propagation with extreme precision. This will be joined by an Auto-Ignition Test bench later this year, which will deepen understanding of ignition mechanisms and kindling chains of various materials and lubricants.

“At GCE we believe the gas industry should take responsibility for pioneering new testing techniques to ensure all systems are capable of withstanding higher levels of adiabatic compression,” says Gareth Pemberton. “At our new facility, we are subjecting a wider range of equipment to a heightened level of testing, applying more heat, more shocks, more oxygen and more contaminants.”

He added: 

“Working together with the industry and our clients, we hope to establish higher standards for gas control equipment and ensure safer working environments around the world.”

OUR STORY

PRESS RELEASE PDF

GCE Healthcare today announced the launch of a secure online platform that will enable home oxygen providers to remotely monitor GCE’s Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC).

Clarity uses smart, secure and connected technology to place a wealth of information at the providers’ fingertips 24/7, from an online device, wherever they are. The information ranges from flow to oxygen purity, device location and battery life. Providers can also give their patients and their families access to the platform, giving patients an extra support network.

The platform uses the GSM and GPS in the POC unit to transmit data. This reliable system means home oxygen providers are not dependent on the patient having a smartphone or Bluetooth enabled phone. 

With Clarity, providers can offer enhanced customer service at reduced operating costs. Using Clarity from a desktop or mobile device, they can easily check how well the Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC) is working and get advanced pre-emptive notice of any issues promptly.

Donald Oleforo, GCE’s Group Product Manager, Homecare, said: “With Clarity, home oxygen providers can see how their Zen-O™ devices are performing, giving them visibility of their POC fleet and the ability to act if need be. It helps predict maintenance and proactive patient visits. This will help providers reduce their operating costs by planning their time and resources. They can then deliver improved service levels to patients and even better levels of care.”

Clarity also gives users, and their loved ones, reassurance and confidence because they can see how their connected Zen-O device is performing.

In developing the platform, GCE was conscious of the need for enhanced internet security and deployed best in class security protocols to transmit and store data. Any data between the connected Zen-O™ and the Clarity platform is also encrypted. 

GCE has plans to roll out additional features that will give clinicians the ability to remotely gather clinical patient data and also enable its smaller Zen-O lite™ portable oxygen concentrator on the Clarity platform.

GCE Healthcare launches portable oxygen concentrator to increase mobility for people living with chronic respiratory disease

The Zen-O™ is a compact supplementary oxygen therapy device that gives respiratory patients more independence within and outside their homes

UK, 4 January 2016 – GCE Healthcare today announced the launch of the Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC)  – the first product to be developed by its new Innovation Centre in St Helens, UK.

The unobtrusive Zen-O™ is a lightweight oxygen therapy device that weighs in at 4.66kg (10lbs) and can be carried in a carry bag or pull cart. Its portability makes it easier for patients living with lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)¹ to get out and about and receive oxygen when they need it most.

Mike Galvin, Managing Director of GCE Healthcare, said: “The Zen-O™ gives patients the means to remain mobile and carry on living their lives independently. It is one of the few mobile oxygen therapy devices to be manufactured in the UK and is the first of a number of focused products we want to bring to the homecare market in future under our own brand name.”

As well as delivering mobility to patients, the Zen-O™ is easy for home oxygen providers to maintain.

“All concentrators have parts that wear and degrade. We have designed sieve beds that can be changed at the

patient’s premises, without having to be returned to base, and this will significantly lower the cost of ownership,” said Mike.

Zen-O™ is the latest in a range of medical gas solutions manufactured and distributed by GCE Healthcare, which was formed in 1987 and is part of the GCE Group.

At its Innovation Centre, GCE Healthcare’s team of dedicated engineers combine their expertise and experience to develop high-quality innovative products. Zen-O™ is commercially available and comes with a three-year device or 15,000 hours of total use warranty. Zen-O™ was rigorously tested by an internationally recognised testing facility.
