FORANO unit is used to withdraw compressed gases and vacuum from a central medical gas supply system in line with DIN EN ISO 7396-1; Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System in line with DIN EN ISO 7396-2; integration of plugs and medical appliances with plugin connections in line with DIN 13260-2.
Structure and functions:
The terminal unit comprises a gas-specific basic block (rear part) and a connector mounting (front part) which are joined together. The front part can be adjusted (rotated). All movable parts are made of metal materials. The terminal unit thus in general has a very low-wear construction.
Forano Terminal Unit According to DIN EN ISO 9170-1
All three O-ring seals are combined in a maintenance friendly way in an assembly – the cartridge – which can easily be replaced by removing the front part. The cartridge is marked with a LOT number so that the age of the sealing elements can be immediately identified. The plug in the connector mounting is kept either in the parking or the operating position.
Design: pearl gloss, chrome-plated all-metal construction with parking and operating position;
unlocking by means of the actuator; single-handed operation when connecting/disconnecting; manually lockable servicing valve.
Types of installation: concealed and hollow wall installation, surface mounting, installation into bedhead units or into ceiling-mounted supply units.
Operating pressure:
400 kPa to 500 kPa (overpressure) – compressed gases
700 kPa to 1000 kPa (overpressure) – Airmotor
<60 kPa (absolute pressure) – vacuum
Labelling: Type of gas written out in German and English plus chemical symbol (laser-inscribed in a wipe-resistant and tamper-proof way).
Colour coding: neutral or in line with DIN EN ISO 5359.
