A market leader in turnkey operating theatre solutions, clinical technology and critical care power for group 2 medical locations, Bender UK is showcasing its Hospital solutions on Stand F45 at the 2018 Healthcare Estates conference and exhibition in Manchester.
Over the last two decades Bender UK has become a highly regarded leader in the Healthcare sector, setting the standard for reliable and resilient critical care power. Year-on-year growth has been achieved by broadening the product and service offering. Today Bender delivers complete turnkey theatre solutions for new build and retrofit applications, encompassing consultancy, design, manufacturing and supply through to installation, service and continuous monitoring and technical support of equipment and site electrical infrastructure.
In terms of critical care power Bender UK provides Medical IT power (IPS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and Sil 2 approved ATICS® auto changeover and monitoring devices. Bender UK has introduced a bespoke Healthcare application of Residual Current Monitoring (RCM) technology, to monitor both critical and non-critical electrical installations. It fulfils the requirements of the BS7671 18th Edition states that an adequate management system with “an effective regime of continuous monitoring and maintenance’ can negate the need to carry out five-year periodic inspection and test, substituting a less intrusive process which avoids disconnection of loads.
In 2018 Hospitals in the UK and Ireland started to recognise and adopt the application of RCM technology. The continuous monitoring system provides early warning of developing earth faults which cause electrical failure, so it helps prevent unplanned downtime. Continuous monitoring system enabling compliance with 18th Edition regulations, while eliminating the need for critical care areas to be shut-down for essential tests.
