Medical gases
In healthcare facilities and other specialised environments, medical gas systems must operate reliably at all times. That is why we design and install complete distribution networks that ensure a stable gas supply, from source to point of use. A safe and continuously monitored system supports laboratories, critical care units and technical facilities where medical air, oxygen, vacuum and other gases are essential to daily healthcare operations.
Our expertise covers the entire process, from engineering and installation to certification and maintenance. This ensures that every gas network is properly documented, tested according to applicable standards and fully prepared for safe use by healthcare professionals.
We design each medical gas distribution network to match the specific building and healthcare application. Existing infrastructure is thoroughly assessed, including system capacity, redundant supplies, alarm functions and future expansion possibilities. The network includes all components required to guarantee a continuous and safe gas supply: production or supply systems, monitoring and alarm solutions, distribution piping, isolation zones and connection points. These elements are integrated into a clearly structured system that can be easily managed by technical departments or external service partners.
In addition to distribution networks, we also provide medical gas analysis systems. These monitor gas quality and help reduce risks, for example in on-site air generation or vacuum installations. Our technical teams are responsible for the installation, validation and maintenance of medical air and vacuum systems, including the legally required periodic inspections. This ensures that every installation remains safe and compliant, even under intensive use.
Each installation is delivered in accordance with EN ISO 7396-1 and EN ISO 7396-2 standards and complies with the requirements of our medical device quality management system (ISO 13485). Thanks to this certification, EEG is authorised to design, install, test and maintain medical gas distribution networks. We also support healthcare institutions with extensions and renovation projects while safeguarding operational continuity. When hospitals need to expand or upgrade their networks, we assist with accurate as-built documentation and clear management plans so that all zones, shut-off points and testing requirements remain fully documented.
Our medical gas activities are closely integrated with our other building technologies. This enables seamless integration with building management systems, alarm transmission systems, electrical supplies and energy solutions. Through this multidisciplinary approach, clients benefit from a single point of contact for design, installation, service and preventive maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
When does my medical gas network require an inspection?
Regulations require periodic inspections. EEG performs both annual visual inspections and leak tests every three years, integrating them into the building’s maintenance programme.
How is an existing medical gas network expanded?
We first map the existing installation, assess the impact on operations and integrate new areas without interrupting the gas supply.
Which standards apply to medical gas installations?
Medical gas systems are designed and installed in accordance with EN ISO 7396-1 and EN ISO 7396-2 and are managed within our ISO 13485 quality management system. This ensures full traceability for design, installation, validation and maintenance.
What does EEG do for on-site air or vacuum generation systems?
We install and maintain compressors, dryers, vacuum pumps and monitoring systems, integrating them with alarm systems and building management platforms to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Can EEG integrate medical gas systems with other building technologies?
Yes. We connect medical gas installations to electrical systems, alarm signalling, monitoring platforms and building management systems, allowing everything to be managed centrally.
