Elmo Rietschle's Vacuum Pump Systems

Safe & Sterile

Bacterial filters are an indispensable part of a hospital's medical vacuum system,and are key to prevent the spread of potentially harmful bio-hazard material to the vacuum pumps and out to the atmosphere. Elmo Rietschle's medical vacuum systems are fitted with duplex bacterial filters before the inlet of the pump. Using Duplex filters allows simple change over and filter replacement,without loss of service,when one filter become clogged. Leveraging over 40 years of experience in providing high quality hospital vacuum systems,our engineers will work with you to provide the right type and combination of vacuum pumps,reservoirs,bacterial filters and control systems to meet your hospital's needs.

Maximum Compliance

Elmo Rietschle vacuum pump systems are compliant with both EN ISO 7396-1 and AS 2896-2011standards for medical gas pipeline systems; meeting the respective n+2 and n+1 redundancy requirements outlined by each standard. For EN ISO 7396-1 each system provides at least 3 sources of vacuum: a duty pump (or pumps = n),a stand-by pump,and a spare pump; thus ensuring there is a stand-by pump available even when one pump is shut down for maintenance. AS 2896 requires only n+1
