Solutions: Fire safety and real-time locating systems
On Our Radar
ALL CLEAR
Ferroguard Screener is a ferromagnetic detection system to ensure MRI safety. The system provides whole-body screening with superior detection. Despite its compact design, it is extremely sensitive to smaller-risk items. It’s also less intrusive than hand-wand screening, eliminating pat-down procedures and creating a more comfortable screening experience for patients. Metrasens
GOOD FLOW
EcoFlow Fume Hoods are offered in 24-, 30-, 36- and 48-inch-wide models and provide an economical solution for laboratories where space is limited. Because of the reduced size, the hood requires less exhaust air to be drawn from the lab. Accessories and components, including work surfaces, base cabinets, plumbing and electrical services, are available. Hemco Corp.
IN THE AIR
The MGS-400 Gas Detection Series is used for refrigerant and gas leak detection applications. The detectors support safety compliance inside of mechanical equipment rooms, chiller plants, cold storage facilities and walk-in freezers by monitoring for dangerous refrigerant leaks and many gases. Bacharach Inc.
CLEANER OPTION
The KV 1250 is part of the No-Touch Cleaning System line and ideal for smaller areas. It boasts a 12-gallon freshwater and a 12-gallon recovery tank. Its Spray-and-Vac cleaning technology is built for extreme soil removal. Users apply automatically diluted cleaning solution to fixtures and floors in a low-pressure fan spray, and then rinse surfaces and floors with clean water. Kaivac Inc.
Fire safety
FIRST SIGN
The Intelligent Vesda-E advanced smoke detection technology is capable of detecting and reporting smoke at its inception, before a fire develops. It can now integrate with some of the most widely used fire panels without the need for additional hardware or wiring, including Notifier and Gamewell-FCI. Honeywell International Inc.
PASS THE TEST
Simplex TrueAlert ES 5900 Series notification appliances combine LED technology and a streamlined design to create a smaller and more energy-efficient solution. The series features decreased power consumption per appliance and self-test capability that helps to reduce testing costs while ensuring systems stay in working order. Tyco Fire Products LP
KEY COMMUNICATION
WebCTRL System and the Edwards EST3: Life Safety Control Platform has been updated to enable additional capabilities and accelerated integration. The solution coordinates smoke control and evacuation by providing centralized status monitoring for facilities maintenance and event response within the WebCTRL system. It also provides data visualization and dashboarding of fire systems. United Technologies Corp.
SMART SENSOR
The Air-Intelligence high-sensitivity smoke detection system provides superior early warning smoke detection. The sensors continuously adapt their sensitivity to the environment in which they are installed, providing alarm thresholds that are relative to the background particle levels in the protected area. Kidde-Fenwal Inc.
Real-time locating systems
RIGHT POSITION
The AeroScout real-time location system platform integrates Sonitor’s proprietary Sense High Definition Ultrasound indoor positioning technology. The integrated solution achieves precise room or sub-room level accuracy in complex indoor environments. Ultrasound provides a number of benefits, such as allowing devices to be added or relocated quickly and easily. Stanley Healthcare
USER’S CHOICE
The Patient Flow Optimization for Clinics solution provides a tiered approach to help health systems reap the benefits of real-time locating systems at varying levels of complexity. The solution offers a basic real-time view of staff and patients; a standardized workflow with metrics that can provide an experience across multiple clinics; or a fully customized solution. Midmark Corp.
TRUE VIEW
ENVisionIT provides discreet nodes installed on walls or ceilings out of the way. Depending on the coverage area, nodes are not necessarily required in every single room or hallway to achieve the chair-level accuracy the system can provide. Browser-based software allows users to manage the entire system. Secure Care Products LLC
OPTIMIZED MOVEMENT
The InSites Behavioral Health patient flow solution leverages automatically collected, real-time location and status data. It allows caregivers to see the current location of patients and staff, understand which patients have been rounded on and who needs to be seen next, as well as note when any observation thresholds are nearing time limits.
