14 Medical technology: customised safety In medical technology safety comes first for you as an equipment manufacturer and for Festo as your ISO-certified partner. Close and trusting cooperation simplifies the processes and defines the responsibilities for both parties. You can rest assured that with Festo the ISO 9001 standard is always complied with. Festo combines the world of industrial automation with medical technology by implementing medical risk management processes in product development in accordance with the standards ISO and ISO Festo develops components as well as subsystems for medical devices. Solenoid valves as well as proportional valves with piezo technology are often used for regulating the pressure levels and flow rates of medical gases in mobile applications and in applications in close proximity to the patient. These are especially compact, quiet and energysaving. Thanks to the material characteristics of piezo ceramics, energy no energy is needed to maintain a constant flow, only to change the flow status. Heat generation is thus avoided and the valves are highly energyefficient. 14

15 Proportional valves with piezo technology: functional principle 2/2-way proportional valves 3/3-way proportional valves On Contraction Bending Off Leaf spring Piezo ceramic Power supply Passive, conductive substrate Festo uses the piezoelectric characteristics of certain ceramics that mechanically deform when a voltage is applied. Seal They control the flow rate, for example in oxygen therapy devices, thus ensuring precise oxygen supply and dosing during inhalation. They are used to regulate the flow or pressure in oxygen therapy, ophthalmology and other therapies. The benefits of piezo valves at a glance + Low power consumption: ideal for portable devices + + No operating noise: for use in direct proximity to the patient + + Proportional characteristics + + Safe thanks to its ability to maintain the actual status in case of power failure Lightweight Compatible with oxygen Sturdy and durable Festo s piezo valves have played a significant role in enabling us to make our portable therapy device lighter, smaller, quieter and more efficient. Satoru Tokuyama, President of Musashi Medical Laboratory, Japan More convenience and efficiency for long-term oxygen therapy device Around 600 million people worldwide suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and depend on a portable oxygen concentrator or conserver device. Musashi Medical Laboratory has developed the convenient oxygen therapy device IVY with the control box in smartphone format. The device works with a compact, lightweight piezo valve from Festo. The switching operations of the proportional valve VEMR are completely quiet. It s sensor-controlled and only opens during inhalation. Less oxygen is consumed as a result, and the patient s radius of activity is significantly increased. 15

16 Oxygen therapy Proportional flow control valve VEMD Portable oxygen concentrator Quiet, precise and energy-saving ideal for mobile devices The lightweight and compact mass flow controller (MFC), which is designed specifically for medical applications, is very quiet and, thanks to its short response times, very precise. The module with 2/2-way piezo valve, flow sensor and control electronics doses and regulates inert gases such as oxygen and nitrogen proportionally. The integrated control circuit with sensor detects and regulates the actual flow rate and provides it to the master controller as an analogue signal. The volumetric flow rate at the system s outlet can be adjusted very simply by entering a setpoint between 0.2 and 10 V. Compact module with integrated control electronics Low power consumption thanks to piezo technology Silent: ideal for mobile applications and applications in close proximity to the patient Air compressor Valve for feed waste dump Oxygen storage Portable oxygen conserver 16
