Description

PRE-ASSEMBLY WALL FOR PRACTICE EQUIPMENT OR FOR INTENSIVE MEDICAL OR STATIONARY HOSPITAL BEDROOMS

The invention relates generally to a preassembly wall for practice facilities or for intensive care or hospitalized hospital bed rooms. In particular, the invention relates to a preassembly wall for dialysis stations in which dialysis machines are coupled to media supplied from central supply lines.

With the use of dialysis machines in hospitals often several of these devices are spatially or functionally summarized, so that certain functions can be centralized. These include, in particular, the joint supply of treated water and wastewater, dialysis concentrate, electrical supply and the supply of data communication lines.

Usually, this input and discharge effort is provided in dialysis stations and in wards generally by a pre-hung on the walls piping system and connected by means of coupling stations, which usually consist of clutches, to the dialysis machines or the gas supply. Such a supply system is disclosed for example in DE 195 21 160 as a media column.

The present invention has for its object to provide a media supply system, which solves the diverse demands on the supply elements in the form of a product system and which is associated with relatively low production costs and installation costs and the requirements for flexibility and expandability especially in dialysis stations bill, since there the vouchers associated with particularly high investment costs.

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

The invention provides a pre-assembly wall in which the medical fluid and gas supply elements as well as the electrical supply and the communication and light supply are installed.

It is an essential aspect of the invention that the supply elements in a pre-wall to existing walls such. Metal stud walls, wooden stud walls and other partitions can be attached, or they can be mounted as a single partitions, noise barriers or fire walls.

This dual field of application makes it possible to select the respective wall system in such a way that both the manufacturing costs and the functional legal aspects of the planning specifications such as sound insulation and fire protection can be taken into account. A major advantage of the present invention is the modular mounting technology, the snap-in connection allows flexible expandability of the supply eg for additional beds with low installation costs. At the same time a grid capability is given. The flexibility, expandability and grid capability is at all bedsteads, but especially in dialysis stations of great advantage, because due to the high investment cost of places only the current needs is expanded. Only with extensions the additional required places are installed.

For the operators of medical facilities of the type considered, the system concept is also important from a legal point of view, because the care elements often themselves have the status of a medical device. A product system incorporating all utilities is in terms of responsibilities, i. quality assurance, maintenance and service.

The system concept according to the invention is particularly important in the central supply for intensive care and hospital hospital beds spaces, which must be supplied with medical fluids, electrical connections, communication elements and room lighting and possibly wastewater connections for the dialysate of hemodialysis, since these care elements from the outset the classification as medical-technical equipment is fixed.

Only by considering the risk assessment of the entire system, starting with the central supply up to the different withdrawals and coupling units of the dialysis machines, the safe operation of dialysis treatment centers can be assessed and guaranteed.

From the system's point of view, another aspect of the invention is the grid-shaped installation of so-called media modules whose main feature in the coupling of the required media such as electricity, light, gas, water and sewage to the dialysis machines or the intensive care place.

In particular, in the case of the hydraulic modules, an error-free, i. hygienic and leak-free installation. This is ensured according to the invention by preconfigured media modules which can be mounted at predetermined locations by means of the simplest assembly technique.

Another important feature of the invention is the good functionality of the media modules. This functionality is important to the user to control the docking operations e.g. to make dialysis equipment easy, or to perform the cleaning of the surfaces or the operation of the communication elements.

A particular aspect of the invention is the cantilevers that can be snapped into the carrier rails as line or hose holders or pivotable carrier arms. Also, the downwardly slanted hydraulic couplings or the simple testability of the dialysate, i. checking the effluent from the dialysis machine e.g. After a chemical disinfection, and the smooth surfaces of the materials used underline this aspect.

For patients and operators, it is important that the treatment rooms radiates a homely atmosphere in terms of appearance and design, so as not to complicate the burden of treatment even in a sober, barren hospital atmosphere. Therefore, a particular feature of the invention is that all surfaces and colors as known from the furniture industry are economically feasible.

Especially in this aspect, it is important that despite the furniture surfaces no carpentry work on site are necessary, but that the supply elements in the given grid are the easiest to install. An essential feature of the invention is the multi-part wall bracket. This consists of a carrier rail, are engaged in the boom, in which the supply elements and the Verblendpaneele are only mount.

In order to facilitate the assemblers the front wall mounting, the carrier rails are simply mounted by means of a mounting device. The mounting device determines the spatial arrangement of the carrier rails. Incorrect assembly such as incorrectly drilled holes, angled arrangement or incorrect distances are thereby excluded.

It is important for customer service service friendliness. easy accessibility and ease of maintenance. Therefore, it is a particularly advantageous feature of the invention that the Verblendpaneele be hooked by hooks in the boom. For service or inspection tasks, accessibility to the utility lines and media elements can be achieved by simply hanging out.

Because of the classification of the supply elements or the supply system as a medical-technical device, the corresponding normative and regulatory requirements such. the free outlet according to DIN EN 1717, or the safe electrical supply according to IEC 601 or the special normative specifications for the supply system are important.

It is for the operator e.g. of hemodialysis units is not easy to meet the requirements of the normative and regulatory requirements, if supply elements of different suppliers are used.

It is a particular advantage of the invention that the entire supply system, in particular for hemodialysis devices, is easy to assemble. It is reasonably priced and visually appealing. For service purposes, it is easily accessible and easy to clean. There is a pre-wall for attachment to an existing wall and a partition wall design available, the latter being connectable to a fire wall and / or a soundproof wall.

The basic elements of the pre-assembly wall consist of carrier rails and cantilevers. The booms can be used for a wide variety of uses. Facing elements are hung in the outriggers, which give the room an appealing atmosphere. Also fastened to the jibs are the media modules for the provision of the electrical supply, the communication elements, of light, ultrapure water and wastewater.

The media modules generally consist of a housing, the recordings of the internal structures and a front panel, which is preferably hinged out by means of hinges. The internal structures contain e.g. Cables in the case of electrical supply, supply and discharge pipelines and a drain line in the case of hydraulic supply and supply and discharge gas lines in the media module for the gas supply.

The media modules for the electrical supply include plugs, equipotential bonding, light switches, emergency call switches, loudspeaker boxes, interfaces, etc. The hydraulic supply media modules have coupler connection points with the couplings protruding from the front panel. The media modules for the Raumlichtversorgung contain integrated into the front panel lamps, which are screwed into receptacles in the sheet metal housing.

The sheet metal housings are attached to the arms, the front panels are hinged when needed, so that the inside of the housing is accessible from the outside. Within the walls - attached to predetermined installation elements of the booms - run the supply lines for water, medical fluids, gases, electricity and possibly communication.

It is proposed a supply system whose elements as a single and the system as a whole can represent a medical device.

FIG. 1 shows, largely schematically, a room, for example, of a hospital, which is divided by a partition wall into two rooms. The partition wall contains a plurality of vertically arranged carrier rails 1, which extend from the floor to the ceiling of the room and are fastened by means of U-rails 2, for example. The support rails 1 represent the support system for the cladding elements 3, 4 media modules and supply lines, not shown in the figure. FIG. 2 shows that the pre-assembly wall according to the invention can also be attached to an already existing wall 6.

Figure 4 shows on an enlarged scale in the left part of a support rail 1, which is set up in the application of the pre-assembly wall according to the invention for the purpose of a partition. The support rail 1 has a substantially U-profile, the two spaced webs 7 are provided with two rows of slot-shaped windows 8.

In this window 8 boom 9 can be inserted, which are moved to the stop down and get into a stable snap-fit connection. In this case, both webs 7 can be equipped with these arms 9, so that both spaces resulting from the partition can be equipped with the supply system according to the invention.

The spaces between the carrier rails can be filled, for example, with a soundproof wall.

In the right part of Figure 4, a support rail 10 is shown, which is attached to an existing wall 6. This support rail 10 also has two spaced rows of slot-shaped windows 8, in the boom 9 can be inserted. The support rail 10 includes both sides angled flanges 1 1 with holes 12 for mounting screws 13, with which the support rail 10 can be screwed to the wall 6.

The hook-shaped projections 16 have a height that is slightly smaller than the extension of the slots 8, so that the four hook-shaped projections 16 of each arm 9 in four selected slots 8 of the support rail 1 and 10 respectively can be introduced. The boom 9 is then moved down until the lower edges of the slot-shaped window 8 abut the upper edges of the slots 1 7, wherein the arms 9 are fixed in a slight clamping fit to the support rails 1 to 10. The booms 9 are at right angles from the carrier rails 1 and 10 from.

On the jibs 9, the media lines such as power cables or hoses 18 are attached. To this end, cantilevers 9 may be connected to a lug 18a having a suitably shaped, e.g. circular section-shaped recess 19 has, in which a hose 20 (or cable, etc.) can be suspended.

In this case, the boom 9 is formed as a hose holder (cable holder).

It is also possible for cantilevers to be used which are designed as pivotable support arms 21. Other arms are adjustable in length and may be provided with a telescopically extendable extension member 22.

The extension element 22 may have at its front end portion in the installed position in the upper edge an incision 23 into which a hook 24 (FIG. 8) of a veneer panel 25 can be suspended.

The two side walls 1 5 of the boom 9 may be provided at its upper edge with flanges 26 on which media modules are festschraubbar.

Figure 3 shows another embodiment of a boom 9, in which on the side walls 15 of the boom 9 outwardly projecting angle 27 are fixed, on which also media modules are fastened. Also in this embodiment, an extension element 22 is provided, which is provided with two cuts 23 for hooking hooks 24 of trim panels 25. Generally speaking, the booms 9 are provided with fastening means for supply lines, media modules and trim panels 25.

Through holes 28 in the support rail 10 screws can be passed to secure the mounting position of an associated boom 9.

As FIG. 6 shows, media modules 29 and 30 can be mounted at selected heights on the arms 9, the media modules 29 and 30 being enclosed by a wall panel 31.

The media module 29 contains the entire electrical supply, i. Switches, sockets, etc., while the media module 30 contains the entire hydraulic supply, that is, above all, the required hose couplings.
