We are glad that, despite the unfavorable time, we can offer our usual short delivery times, both for technical and medical valves. All this is mainly thanks to almost 100% in-house production in the area of the cylinder and combined valves and the foresight behavior of our purchasing department, which ensured the timely availability of all necessary production parts.

The first medical regulators were just industrial regulators with a few alterations. Today’s medical gas control devices have many advanced design features that make them easier to use, more accurate, simpler to maintain and less costly. Now, as COVID-19 has brought about the highest need for medical oxygen than ever before, there’s a higher demand for gas delivery devices such as regulators and flowmeters.

WHICH DEVICE DEPENDS ON APPLICATIONS

Knowing which devices to choose depends on the application for which it’s going to be used. The primary applications for oxygen (and oxygen mixes such as nitrous oxide) are hospital wards, emergency medical services (ambulance, rescue kit), long-term care facilities and home. Each of these situations has different variables that require different devices.

THE SOURCE ACCORDING TO DELIVERY POINT

The source of medical oxygen also varies by delivery point. Bulk vessels are used in mid- to large-sized hospitals and long-term care facilities that require constant access to gas. The bulk tank is connected to a central gas supply system that has terminals through out the facility.

The team went a thorough overview of all MCGS from the product range, to ISO standard to MDR. They have been presented also the main topics and goals of the Hospital Ward and Emergency equipment.

The event was a great success and we are prepared to continue to support our colleagues and customers. 

Please contact our teams in any matters.

Sir Humphrey Davey (also the inventor of the Davey lamp) first began using gases for pain relief in the 19th Century.

In 1844, Gardner Quincy Colton, an American showman, medicine man, lecturer, and former medical student presented a demonstration of nitrous oxide inhalation, and the need to assure the correct gas was being connected was born.

The US Fire Protection Association, together with CGA along with the American Society of Anaesthesiologists designed the Pin Index system in 1952.

The extremely compact valve design uses geometrically arranged pins and hollows surrounding the gas connection eliminates the risk of accidental connection of an incorrect gas.

In recent years, however, customer needs demand both higher purity and greater medicinal integrity levels within each gas cylinder, requiring the inclusion of a Residual Pressure Device (RPD).

But the beneficially compact size of the Pin Index valve makes this an extremely challenging technical hurdle.

GCE is delighted to bring to the Global Market their new PIN index valves with RPD to fulfil all of these needs.

When the bottle is opened, this natural, dissolved CO₂ creates an effervescent “fizz” as it breaks free from solution in the drink wherever a bubble nucleation site exists, giving these drinks their distinct refreshing appeal and contributing to their mouthfeel.

In modern times, brewers and winemakers began to enhance the gasification process by adding supplementary CO₂ to modify the level of carbonation in drinks to change the taste, look and feel of the drinks, as well as preserving the beer.

GCE now offer a range of re-useable, interchangeable gas cylinder diptubes to suit all cylinder sizes. 

These devices ensure that during cylinder filling, the High Pressure Nitrogen is jetted right into the body of the liquid CO₂ resting at the bottom of the cylinder during the filling processThis vapourises and agitates the CO₂, rapidly mixing the gases together.

Have you ever wondered why eggs remain fresh longer unrefrigerated than you might expect from any other similar dairy foods? Cream, for example, would quickly turn sour, smelly and green if not kept in a fridge. 

Eggs are blessed with a semi-permeable membrane under their shells, which helps to keep environmental contaminants out. 

Chickens through their natural respiration process, carbonate their eggs with CO₂ before laying them, ensuring longevity even in the warmest of conditions, in a nest underneath a chicken, for example.

So a chicken is like a beverage gas cylinder as it delivers the perfect gas mixture into a comestible product to ensure the product remains fresh longer, looking, feeling and tasting exactly as it should. 

Today, the brewing industry comprises several multinational companies and a multitude of smaller producers ranging from brewpubs to regional and national breweries. 

You can see using of tubes during the exact mixing of CO2 in the animation. 

The team will be located in Hall 7 on stand H38 and will be showcasing:

• Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) – Delivers up to 2LPM in pulse and continuous mode.
• Zen-O lite™ Lightweight Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) – Delivers up to 1050ml. The quietest POC in its class.
• Clarity online platform - helps home oxygen providers offer better care to patients.
• Slide Pressure Watch - Used in medical gas pipeline systems to monitor the correct distribution pressure on department/section/room level.
• Bed Head Unit - For patient rooms. Equipped with medical gas outlets, electrical or media sockets, nurse call systems etc. 
• New Suction Range - Clears retained or excessive lower respiratory tract secretions for patients.

Specialty gases are used in various industries and applications. GCE gas control equipment is made to initiate, stabilize and avoid chemical processes and increase the efficiency of the welding and cutting processes.

An important part of the catalogue also concerns supply systems of medical gases in hospitals. High-purity gases require high-quality products.

To raise awareness of this debilitating condition, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) is marking the 21st November 2018 as World COPD Day with the theme ‘Never too Early, Never too late’.

This type of progressive lung disease is characterised by increasing breathlessness, leading to a growing demand for Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC).  Designed to improve quality of life for COPD patients, GCE Healthcare has increased the investment in research and development to help patients remain active and independent. 

Our product innovations include the Zen-O™ and Zen-O lite™ portable oxygen concentrators, which allow patients the freedom to move both inside and outside their home. They also offer best in class technology to detect shallow breaths and deliver a constant bolus of oxygen in response to different activity levels and breath rate.

With GCE Healthcare’s latest product Clarity, we’re harnessing advances in telehealth technology to allow providers and clinicians to review POCs’ usage history to make sure they are using the right system and are adhering to their oxygen therapy.

Malmö, Sweden, 3^rd July 2018 – GCE Group has launched a new research and testing facility at Chotěboř, Czech Republic, to raise the standard for safety and performance across the gas industry.

Gas control equipment is investing in cutting-edge technology to challenge existing standards and expand knowledge of the behaviour and lifetime effects of a diverse range of materials involved in the use of pressurised oxygen.

GCE is particularly focused on testing the ability of components to withstand adiabatic compression, a much-misunderstood phenomenon that can pose a serious fire hazard if overlooked. The research comes at a critical time for the gas control industry, following a growing number of globally reported Oxygen gas incidents that underline the need for greater awareness of the complex-and dangerous-properties of pressurised oxygen.

In Europe and US, there are two main competing standards, from the International Standardization Organisation (ISO) and ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials). GCE asserts that ASTM, favoured by the US, is the more rigorous standard and should be adopted as the global minimum. The European Union currently only requires compliance with the ISO standard.

However, according to Gareth Pemberton, GCE Group Director of Innovation:

“Neither standard reflects the real-world demands placed on gas control equipment. We’re committed to ensuring safe operation when reality deviates from conversative laboratory conditions.”

GCE has invested in the latest technology in its pursuit of performance. A high-speed video camera with high contrast ratios and high frame rates enables the manufacturer to record external ignition propagation with extreme precision. This will be joined by an Auto-Ignition Test bench later this year, which will deepen understanding of ignition mechanisms and kindling chains of various materials and lubricants.

“At GCE we believe the gas industry should take responsibility for pioneering new testing techniques to ensure all systems are capable of withstanding higher levels of adiabatic compression,” says Gareth Pemberton. “At our new facility, we are subjecting a wider range of equipment to a heightened level of testing, applying more heat, more shocks, more oxygen and more contaminants.”

He added: 

“Working together with the industry and our clients, we hope to establish higher standards for gas control equipment and ensure safer working environments around the world.”

OUR STORY

PRESS RELEASE PDF

With Clarity, home care oxygen providers can monitor the performance of GCE’s portable oxygen concentrator, Zen-OTM, from any internet enabled device, anywhere, to improve patient care.

GCE Healthcare launches a secure online platform that will enable home oxygen providers to remotely monitor GCE’s Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC).

Clarity uses smart, secure and connected technology to place a wealth of information at the providers’ fingertips 24/7, from an online device, wherever they are. The information ranges from flow to oxygen purity, device location and battery life. Providers can also give their patients and their families access to the platform, giving patients an extra support network.

The platform uses the GSM and GPS in the POC unit to transmit data. This reliable system means home oxygen providers are not dependent on the patient having a smartphone or Bluetooth enabled phone. 

With Clarity, providers can offer enhanced customer service at reduced operating costs. Using Clarity from a desktop or mobile device, they can easily check how well the Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC) is working and get advanced pre-emptive notice of any issues promptly.

Donald Oleforo, GCE’s Group Product Manager, Homecare, said: “With Clarity, home oxygen providers can see how their Zen-O™ devices are performing, giving them visibility of their POC fleet and the ability to act if need be. It helps predict maintenance and proactive patient visits. This will help providers reduce their operating costs by planning their time and resources. They can then deliver improved service levels to patients and even better levels of care.”

Clarity also gives users, and their loved ones, reassurance and confidence because they can see how their connected Zen-O device is performing.

In developing the platform, GCE was conscious of the need for enhanced internet security and deployed best in class security protocols to transmit and store data. Any data between the connected Zen-O™ and the Clarity platform is also encrypted. 

GCE has plans to roll out additional features that will give clinicians the ability to remotely gather clinical patient data and also enable its smaller Zen-O lite™ portable oxygen concentrator on the Clarity platform.

Zen-O lite weighs only 2.5 kg and is specially designed for users with an active lifestyle who require long-term oxygen treatment (LTOT). The device is well-suited for everyday use and is very compact and easy to use, yet robust enough to deliver up to 1 050 ml of oxygen per minute in pulse mode. 

For patients who need more oxygen, there’s the Zen-OTM, which was launched in January 2016. It has a higher output of 2litres of oxygen per minute and is also portable at 4.66kg (10lbs). 

Mike Galvin, Managing Director of GCE Healthcare, said: “The Zen-O Lite™ extends our homecare product range to provide more choice and freedom for patients with respiratory disorders. Zen-O Lite™ is one of the lightest and quietest portable oxygen devices on the market and will help patients who are more active to continue to be mobile and do the activities they love.”

Both Zen-O Lite™ and Zen-O are simple to operate and come with a battery, DC and AC power cords, and a carry bag, a pull cart (Zen-O only) plus a three-year device warranty. They are also easy to maintain, with sieve modules that are easily replaced in the field, avoiding the need to return the device to a service centre, which in turn reduces the cost of ownership for home oxygen providers. 

“Zen-O Lite™ and Zen-O represent a major investment in high-quality innovative products by our parent company, GCE Group, in GCE Healthcare’s homecare business,” added Mike Galvin. “The design of the products is led by our dedicated engineering team at our Innovation Centre in St Helens, UK and manufactured in the UK and USA to relevant, international standards. As part of GCE Group’s global supply chain, we’re also able to deliver our range, parts and accessories, efficiently and promptly.”

When we speak of controlling, we actually mean regulating. It is a regulator after all...

A pressure reducing regulator (PRR) has a higher uncontrolled inlet pressure and a lower controlled outlet pressure. So, a PRR controls the pressure after the regulator, in the downstream process line.  Think of a gas cylinder. When you are in a laboratory, there are “Point Of Use” regulators (in short called POUs) at the table/ furniture (see picture below). These supply the researchers with the gas they require. Outside of the room, often in the basement / warehouse of a building, there is a number of gas cylinders connected to the gas supply system of the room or building. The pressure in these cylinders, when completely filled, is normally around 200 bar. The gas supply system of the hospital cannot handle such pressures, so there are pressure reducing regulators (often part of changeover panels) in place to reduce the pressure to a constant 5-7 bar. Then there where the researcher needs his/ her gas, the pressure is regulated further down to what is required. 

 Pressure reducing regulators are also often used after compressors or pumps to precisely control (regulate) the downstream pressure. 

A back pressure regulator (BPR) controls the pressure before the instrument itself. By doing this, it either protects the infrastructure before the regulator itself, or by using a PRR and BPR in one line, you put a certain part of a process line under a controlled pressure. This you would do when testing the strength of a tank for example, or when you wish to create a constant seal. When looking at the oil industry, there are these large floating production ships, called FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading). There are flexible hoses in place to pump water into the oil well to allow for more oil to stream out, or lines for oil to be brought to the surface. These flexible hoses need to stay connected to the vessel. To ensure this, seals are made around these pipes making this possible and keeping the lines secure. This is where you would use the two; a PRR and a BPR. Another good example for a BPR is for controlling the by-pass for a Positive Displacement pump (PD-pump). 

A BPR is not a relief valve. It is not there to blow off excess pressure; it opens up just enough to stabilize the pressure to the desired level before the regulator. It is much more stable, reliable and protects your installation. 

Most regulators in use are Pressure Reducing Regulators, as their application is far more common. In case you have doubts which to use or where to place it in your system, please feel free to contact us via: regulator@gcegroup.com.
 

Please, do not try to use a valve to perform the functions of a regulator. It may save you money on the initial purchase, though in the end you will be paying a lot more. Their performance does not match that of a regulator. Also for this, and other gas control questions, you can contact us via the above email address.

GCE Healthcare launches portable oxygen concentrator to increase mobility for people living with chronic respiratory disease

The Zen-O™ is a compact supplementary oxygen therapy device that gives respiratory patients more independence within and outside their homes

UK, 4 January 2016 – GCE Healthcare today announced the launch of the Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC)  – the first product to be developed by its new Innovation Centre in St Helens, UK.

The unobtrusive Zen-O™ is a lightweight oxygen therapy device that weighs in at 4.66kg (10lbs) and can be carried in a carry bag or pull cart. Its portability makes it easier for patients living with lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)¹ to get out and about and receive oxygen when they need it most.

Mike Galvin, Managing Director of GCE Healthcare, said: “The Zen-O™ gives patients the means to remain mobile and carry on living their lives independently. It is one of the few mobile oxygen therapy devices to be manufactured in the UK and is the first of a number of focused products we want to bring to the homecare market in future under our own brand name.”

As well as delivering mobility to patients, the Zen-O™ is easy for home oxygen providers to maintain.

“All concentrators have parts that wear and degrade. We have designed sieve beds that can be changed at the

patient’s premises, without having to be returned to base, and this will significantly lower the cost of ownership,” said Mike.

Zen-O™ is the latest in a range of medical gas solutions manufactured and distributed by GCE Healthcare, which was formed in 1987 and is part of the GCE Group.

At its Innovation Centre, GCE Healthcare’s team of dedicated engineers combine their expertise and experience to develop high-quality innovative products. Zen-O™ is commercially available and comes with a three-year device or 15,000 hours of total use warranty. Zen-O™ was rigorously tested by an internationally recognised testing facility.
