General lightingThe directed indirect com-ponent provides general lighting of at least 100 lx. Sophisticated lighting technology ensures almost 100% emanation of the light, and thereby provides particularly effective general lighting even in the depth of the room. Moreover, glare is avoided and a pleasant room impression is created, conveying calm and relaxation.Reading lightThe reading light provides an illuminance level of at least 300 lx. Precise direc-tion of light makes sure that other patients in the room who need rest are not disturbed. This is ensured by sufficiently high illumi-nance levels and the removal of glare in areas susceptible to glare.Communications equipmentCommunications equip-ment according to all current standards can be fitted into the medical supply unit. These include, for instance, system components for bedside-oper-ated devices, light-call and nurse-call systems, television and radio outlets or telephone outlets, which are com-pletely assembled and wired at the factory.Examination lightingFor simple examinations at the bedside, for doctors’ visits, setting of infusions and giving shots (but not for more extensive examinations and treatments), the reading light can be switched to fulfil a special examination function, or the reading light and the general lighting can be combined, depending on the model and version installed. In this case, the mean illuminance level along the longitudinal axis of the bed is 300 lx, at a uniformity level of at least Emin:Emax = 1:2. Night lightingThe nightlight helps patients and care personnel to find their bearings during the night. It provides glare-free light. Prismatic direction of lightPrismatic structures in the luminaire diffuser assist almost 100% emana-tion in the case of indirect light. With direct lighting they ensure removal of glare in potentially affected areas. Reflector direction of lightThe light is directed and emanated via optimised reflector optics. They enable precise direction of light onto the useful plane, meet-ing highest requirements in terms of illuminance.Supply sectionThe supply section is made of extruded aluminium. All surface finishes are resistant to conventional disinfectants. Waveguide direction of lightThe light provided by the T16 light source is cou-pled into a tapering SLC
® waveguide. Inside the side lighting coupler (SLC
® ), the light is emitted and directed down-wards via a combination of precisely arranged linear prisms on the rounded upper side and microprisms on the underside, thereby achieving minimal glare and optimal direction of light.Flexible lighting moduleThis lighting module is reading light which is adjustable and can be integrated into the electri-cal installation without difficulty. The reading light can be easily adjusted, allowing flexible arrangement of beds for installing medical apparatus at the bedside. It is also possible to convert a multi-bed room into a single-bed room without major effort. Mains-power componentsThe system allows installation of mains-power components such as safety sockets, switches, momentary-action switches and dim-mers as well as potential equalisation sockets which are wired to the central connection point ready for use.Medical gasesThe medical supply unit houses different media for medical gas supply. A gas duct integrated in the supply section contains the medical quality copper pipes from the respective outlet to the central connection point.Design optionsThe design theme of the patient’s room can be picked up by the colour of the medical supply system, thereby creating a harmoni-ous atmosphere. Depending on the product used, surfaces may be either powder-coated in RAL colours or present a natural anodised finish, or wood veneer panels can be used to match the room design. CE markThe CE mark certifies that a product has met all relevant European direc-tives. Luminaires that bear this mark (without a code number) are not medical products according to currently applicable legislation. They meet all normative and legal require-ments that are placed on a luminaire used in hospitals. ELGADUCT medical supply units are medical products (Class IIb) and meet the legal require-ments according to Annex II of Directive 93/42/EEC based on EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485, as well as the requirements of the Medical Law.
