An uninterrupted power supply is critical in the field of healthcare. Lifesaving equipment in critical care medicine or monitoring systems in the operating room must be powered constantly and reliably. The core safety power is battery operated, assuring the safety of both patients and medical professionals. Medical power supplies are often built to fulfil the medical industry’s strict safety and quality requirements and are frequently needed to be approved by regulatory organizations before being utilized in healthcare situations. Medical power supplies are available in a wide range of forms and sizes, as well as features like as auto ranging and high efficiency. They are designed to provide an uninterrupted and reliable source of power even when faced with varying input voltages and other external factors. Medical power supplies also often incorporate features such as LED status indicators, EMI filtering, and fail-safe shutoff systems. MGEC also delivers diaphragms and silicones are at the heart of many specialized tools for the medical industry. Our class 4 and 3 top hat diaphragm exceeds expectations and standard product lifetimes with the strength and reliability to perform for 10 million cycles, or more. Our silicone products inhibit the growth of microbes, making them ideal for medical use. Frequently found in sterilization units, they withstand temperatures of 500+ degrees, as well as provide vibration damping/ protection for highly calibrated testing and monitoring equipment.
Products and Solutions
UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY (UPS SYSTEMS).
UPS Systems for hospitals and medical care offer safe power supply according to VDE 0558 507.These systems are central battery-backed power supply systems for facilities of medical purposes according to DIN VDE 0100-710 used explicitly to secure power supply within medical facilities such as hospitals, laboratories etc. The systems guarantee optimal supply security for system and equipment in the medical sector, such as e.g. in the area of operating rooms, intensive care etc. The battery powered central safety power supply systems consist of a rectifier, inverter static bypass and a battery system. The inverter converts the DC voltage delivered from the rectifier or from the battery into a regulated sinusoidal AC voltage. This AC voltage meets all requirements of medical-technical equipment with respect to waveform, voltage and frequency consistency. The rectifiers employed for this purpose ensure a recharge of the batteries within 6 hours. The charging takes place in a battery-saving mode as the rectifiers function according to the IU characteristics. Battery powered central safety power supply systems dispose of very high short-circuit power thus ensuring the triggering of fuses in < 500 MS in case of a short-circuit. customized UPS systems for hospitals, laboratories and healthcare according to the individual requirements.
TECHNOLOGY
Our medical UPS systems are operating in Online Mode. In the event of a power outage there are no switching events. The consumer loads are supplied without interruption as before, as in the case with an online UPS System. The alternating voltage meets the requirements of all modern medical-technology equipment in respect of curve shape and of voltage and frequency stability. In accordance with the VDE directive, the BBPS-Systems in the range are equipped with galvanic tripping in the input. In this way, the battery is no longer connected with the mains potential, increasing security. The battery circuit is monitored for ground faults by an isolation monitoring system. Our Systems are equipped with a symmetry monitoring feature to allow them to identify defective battery cells. Any faults in the battery circuit are identified right away and can be rectified in good time. The inverters in the BBPS Systems are designed for a high short-circuit current IK. In this way, any short circuits which occur in a defective device, even during a power outage, can be safely deenergized through the triggering of the consumer load fuse. The remaining consumer loads in the operating theater continue to be supplied.
POWER FAILURE BRIDGING
BBPS Systems must be designed for a relatively long bridging period of 1 or 3 hours. This requires high battery capacities. The built-in rectifiers guarantee that the batteries will be recharged within 6 hours. This charging takes place in a battery protecting way, as the rectifiers work in line with the IU characteristic curve as defined in DIN 41773. The rectifiers are equipped in accordance with VDE 0558-507.
BOOST CHARGING STAGE
Our systems are equipped with an automatic recharging stage for fast battery charging and a connection for a battery chamber fan (fully automatic boost charging stage with automated recharge and battery chamber fan control with associated monitoring system).
DISPLAY AND DATA LOG
The operating data of our systems are shown on a clearly structured display with a menu-Orien-ted structure. The BBPS systems come with a data logger to record all alerts and log measurement values during a capacity test. The data can be transmitted to a USB stick via a USB port and then processed using Excel or Open Office. In this way, informative tables with matching capacity test graphics can be generated and archived as evidence that the statutory capacity test has been carried out. This allows the operator of the BBPS System to generate easily evidence of both the execution of the statutory annual capacity test and the compulsory monthly function tests.

CAPACITY TEST WITH ENERGETIC RECOVERY
The statutory battery capacity tests are initiated manually using the operating panel. A password prevents involuntary activation. An automatic capacity test can also be programmed in. In the capacity test the energy of the battery is fed back into the grid via the inverter. In the process, the bypass is switched parallel to the inverter using the static switch. The consumer loads continue to be supplied via the inverter. This is a particularly good-value solution because it saves energy in comparison to a capacity test with load resistances. The special electronics of our systems allow for load on the batteries and energetic recovery with constant output. Therefore, the annual capacity tests are comparable and enable a statement to be made on battery aging and the associated loss in capacity.
SIGNALS IN THE THEATERS
Alerts on operating conditions and faults are relayed to the user for each theater via relay contacts. The alerts are available as 24V DC signals for the alert and test combinations in the operating theaters. Corresponding protocol converters are available as optional extras for SNMP and MODBUS protocols or SMI.
MAINTENANCE-FRIENDLY CONSTRUCTION
All systems are constructed for ease of servicing. All components are accessible from the front and easy to exchange. The fans are fixed in place using special wing bolts which allow trained electricians, if required, to replace the fans, so that there is no need for expensive service callouts.
EXTERNAL MANUAL BYPASS (OPTION)
VDE 0558-710 prescribes the installation of an external manual bypass for BBPS systems. We offer an external manual bypass as an optional extra which makes use of special cam switches that require only one switching action to activate the BBPS. Thus, operator errors are ruled out. The switches can be supplied singly or in a housing or distribution cabinet. Our systems are equipped with an automatic recharging stage for rapid charging of the battery after a power failure and a connection for a battery room fan (fully automatic boost-charging stage with refresh automatic and battery room fan controller and associated monitoring)
Commercial UPS systems (either standard or modular) are available for the medical sector, additionally to Battery Backed Power Supply (medical UPS).
