How Does a Medical Gas Manifold Work? Automatic Changeover Explained
How a medical gas manifold works: duty and standby cylinder banks, automatic changeover, pressure stages, alarm signals and sizing for hospitals.
Read moreFrom the source plant to the patient bedside: medical gas plants, area valve service units, gas outlets, bed head units and pendants – designed, manufactured and tested by Tecnomed to EN ISO 7396-1 and HTM 02-01.
Every stage of the hospital medical gas system, from one manufacturer with one warranty.
Eight product groups, more than 60 product families, hundreds of configurable models.
Equipment packages designed around how each department actually works.
A medical gas pipeline system delivers oxygen, medical air, vacuum, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and AGSS from central plant to every terminal unit in the hospital. Tecnomed supplies and sizes the whole chain.
Read more 02Intensive care beds need more gas outlets, more power and more equipment mounting than any other room. Tecnomed ICU units are configured per bed with the sockets, gas services and rails the unit actually uses.
Read more 03In the operating theatre, gas, power and equipment must reach the surgical team without cables on the floor. Tecnomed supplies ceiling pendants, AGSS, operating lamps and OR terminal units.
Read more 04The bed head unit is the one piece of medical equipment every patient sees. Tecnomed combines gas outlets, electrical services, reading and room lighting and nurse call in units that match the hospital's interior design.
Read more 05Oxygen is the most critical medical gas. Tecnomed offers three source options – cylinder manifolds, liquid oxygen and on-site PSA generation – and combines them into a primary, secondary and reserve supply as required by EN ISO 7396-1.
Read more 06For contractors, consultants and distributors, Tecnomed acts as a single technical partner: system sizing, product selection, manufacturing, export documentation and commissioning support.

Read moreA medical gas pipeline system (MGPS) starts at the source – cylinder manifolds, medical air compressors, vacuum plants, PSA oxygen generators or liquid oxygen tanks – continues through copper pipework, area valve service units and alarm panels, and ends at the terminal units: medical gas outlets mounted in bed head units, ICU units, pendants or wall modules. Tecnomed manufactures every stage.
Systems are designed and manufactured to EN ISO 7396-1 and HTM 02-01 under an ISO 13485 quality system and carry CE marking. Gas outlets and probes are available in DIN 13260-2, BS 5682 and AFNOR NF S 90-116; bed head units follow EN 11197 and copper pipe follows EN 13348.
Yes. We size the plant to the bed count and gas demand, supply all pipeline components and terminal units, and support installation and commissioning through our engineers or your local contractor.
Tecnomed exports to more than 45 countries, with the strongest presence in the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and South Asia. Export documentation, packaging and remote commissioning support are standard.
