Project Spotlight

Testing a Hospital’s Medical Gas System in 24 Hours

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the need for more intensive care beds has led to the construction of emergency field hospitals. In Bergamo, Italy, an entire hospital was built in ten days, including the essential distribution network of medical gases (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, etc.), built and supplied by Air Liquide Sanità Service.

Air Liquide Sanità Service asked our Italian colleagues at TÜV SÜD pH Laboratories to verify and certify the quality of the gases before the new hospital was opened. Even though this wasn’t a conventional hospital and the testing would be a new challenge, time was of the essence. We needed to get the tests done quickly.

To ensure the safety of the medical gas system, our experts from the TÜV SÜD Italy subsidiary checked for impurities in the medical gas according to the requirements stipulated in the European Pharmacopoeia. The testing was completed with a mobile “Quality Gas” lab system accredited according to ISO / IEC 17025. To ensure that the hospital was operational in the quickest time, TÜV SÜD engineers completed all necessary testing and issued the final test report within 24 hours – a record time.

The speed of our response helped ensure the Bergamo field hospital was completed on schedule, paving the way for the rapid deployment of essential medical services in the hard-hit Lombardy region.
Bringing Safe Sanitation to All

Worldwide, only 2% of human waste is disposed of safely. The rest of the world either uses systems that do not treat waste sufficiently (or at all), or lacks access to any toilet facility altogether. While many people fall into the last category, still more use systems that do not provide any type of treatment for the resulting waste.

To bring safe sanitation to 2.3 billion people worldwide, we have partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on several projects to support the 'Reinvent the Toilet' challenge. To succeed in changing the world of sanitation and meeting UN Sustainable Development Goal 6, innovators need to show potential users and investors clear, verified evidence that their technologies meet the communities’ needs. This verification comes from applying international standards for non-sewered sanitation systems (ISO 30500 and ISO 31800).

In collaboration with global stakeholders, TÜV SÜD led the technical development of ISO 30500 and ISO 31800 and now provides unique expertise in helping sanitation innovators ensure their technologies are safe, efficient, effective, and market-ready.

Meet our Team

Ariya Phakagrong, Auditor for Medical Health Services, Thailand

“I audit the safety, performance, effectiveness and regulatory requirements of medical devices. With technology moving and developing so fast, it’s up to me to stay updated on the latest advancements. For example, the COVID-19 outbreak saw the launch of different in vitro diagnostic kits for testing the presence of COVID-19 or its antibodies, which required us to understand the technologies involved before auditing. New technologies in the medical device industry help improve lives, but they can only do that if I can test them to the highest and strictest standards!”

Adam Menzies, Director Medical & Health Services, North America

“My entire professional life has revolved around medical products, but never before have I been able to feel like I’m making such a difference. At TÜV SÜD, I’ve been able to increase my impact far beyond what was possible at previous companies – by ensuring the safety of dozens of products for the healthcare sector every day. I sleep soundly knowing that my colleagues and I did the best we could do to protect people from potentially harmful effects of new medical technologies.”

Eike-Henning Hans, Testing Specialist Medical Devices & Healthcare, Germany

“As a testing specialist, I oversee the development of medical products that make people's lives easier such as smart hospital beds that can be controlled via a tablet and exoskeletons that help people to walk again. It’s exciting to become familiar with such highly specialized technology and develop new testing procedures for them. I’m proud to be part of such a renowned group as TÜV SÜD and contribute to making products better and safer. I have my career in my own hands and can set my own goals and achieve them with ambition.”
