MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS

OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DIVERSE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THIS SPECIALIZED FIELD

The Foxolution offering is engineered to:

    1. Supply a Primary source of Oxygen-93% continuously to the Healthcare facility.
    2. Automatically manage a secondary supply and distribute it to the facility as required with no user input.
    3. Automatically manage a reserve supply and distribute it to the facility as required with no user input.
    4. Optionally provide Oxygen-93% for cylinder filling during periods of low demand from the Healthcare facility.

     Other configurations are available.

     Systems are tailored to each use case and are engineered in accordance with ISO7396-2:2016 (E)

The Fox offering is probably the most advanced technologically within the industry. Not only are all the critical oxygen generator parameters monitored in real-time, but they are displayed on the touch-screen controller, plus they are readily available for data storage on the TCP/IP network(standard supply). All this with a comprehensive set of drop-down help screens and Auto Purity Control for the price of a standard system.
