Precise Gas Control: Digital controllers provide precise and accurate control of gas flow rates and pressures, ensuring that the right gas mixtures are delivered to medical devices and patients.

Gas Source Management: They manage multiple gas sources, including central pipeline supplies and gas cylinders, automatically switching between sources as needed to maintain a continuous and reliable gas supply.

Pressure and Flow Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of gas pressure and flow rates for each gas being supplied, with the ability to adjust settings to ensure compliance with specific requirements.

Alarms and Alerts: Comprehensive alarm systems provide visual and audible alerts for issues such as low gas pressure, abnormal flow rates, system malfunctions, or gas source changeovers. These alarms are crucial for patient safety.

Redundancy: Digital controllers often incorporate redundancy to ensure uninterrupted gas supply. If one gas source or controller component fails, the system can seamlessly switch to an alternative source or backup controller.

Data Logging and Storage: They maintain a historical record of gas usage, system performance, alarms, and other relevant data. This information can be valuable for quality control, system optimization, and troubleshooting.

Remote Monitoring: Many digital controllers support remote monitoring and control through network connections. This enables authorized personnel to access real-time data, make adjustments, and receive alarm notifications from a remote location.

User Interface: Digital controllers feature user-friendly interfaces, which may include touchscreen displays or digital panels. These interfaces allow medical staff to monitor the system, adjust settings, and configure alarm thresholds with ease.

Integration with Building Systems: Digital controllers can integrate with a facility’s building management system (BMS) or hospital information system (HIS), providing centralized control and monitoring of the gas supply system.

Compliance with Standards: They are designed and manufactured to meet stringent regulatory standards and safety requirements specific to medical gas supply systems, ensuring adherence to organizations such as NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

Emergency Shutdown: In the event of a critical failure or hazardous situation, the controller can initiate an emergency shutdown to isolate the gas supply, prioritizing patient safety.

Gas Specificity: These controllers are customized for the specific gases and gas sources typically found in healthcare settings, including medical air, oxygen, nitrous oxide, and others.

Modularity and Scalability: Many digital gas manifold controllers are modular, making it easy to expand the system as the healthcare facility’s needs change.
