Backup Cart

Power outages and gas supply interruptions can have disastrous consequences in a hospital environment. This compact Back-up Cart is designed to ensure patient safety and the continuity of critical care, providing a mobile power and gas supply solution specifically engineered for hospitals. This innovative back-up cart is the ideal solution for short-term power failures and interruptions in the medical gas supply. With an electrical output of up to 2000VA (or 500 VA in UPS mode) and the capacity for three 5-liter gas cylinders, the cart offers a bridging time of 30 minutes or more, depending on the power consumption. The Compact Back-up Cart is an indispensable addition to your emergency plan, ready for any situation.
 

Flexible Deployment: Three Scenarios

The versatility of the Compact Back-up Cart is evident in various application scenarios:

Scenario 1: Mobile Power During Transport
Imagine: a patient needs urgent relocation, but vital equipment such as a ventilator or infusion pump requires continuous power and gas. The Compact Back-up Cart can easily accompany the patient, providing essential medical equipment with power and gas during transport. This can be done directly via the cart using an optional DIN rail coupling, allowing equipment to be securely attached to the cart, or as an attached system. This guarantees uninterrupted care, even outside the immediate infrastructure of a department.

Scenario 2: Rapid Assistance in Acute Emergencies
An unexpected power outage or an interruption in the central gas supply takes a department by surprise. In these critical moments, every second counts. The Compact Back-up Cart can be quickly moved to the site of the emergency. Think of the emergency room, where immediate power is needed for resuscitation equipment, or an operating room where medical gases suddenly fail. The cart is immediately deployable, which is crucial for continuing life-saving actions without valuable time loss.

Scenario 3: Static UPS for Critical Setups
For crucial medical setups that cannot go a moment without power or gas, the Compact Back-up Cart functions as a static UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Place the cart permanently next to, for example, an ICU bed, a dialysis machine, or a specialized monitoring station. With an electrical output of up to 500 VA, the cart ensures a seamless transfer in the event of a power outage, while the integrated gas cylinders ensure the continuity of the medical gas supply. This provides an extra layer of safety and security for the most vulnerable patients and critical processes.
