Equipment Management System
Equipment Management System

Application

It has long been recognized that power lines and gas hoses that trail across the floor present a safety hazard to all operating room personnel; not to mention the time it takes to clean up or reconfigure a room between cases. The Equipment Management System is designed to alleviate these problems by eliminating wires and hoses from the floor as well as containing frequently-used equipment in a fashion that keeps it clean, while making it readily accessible during each case. The different sizes of service heads and the reach of the mounting arms have been crafted to meet the needs of the various surgical specialties. Gas and power provisions, the maneuverability of the arms, and the capacity to accommodate a wide range of equipment are all features that are critical to Equipment Management System.

Features of the Navigator™ Equipment Management System:

  • Three Sizes of Service Head and Utilities -- Compact (model 413), Intermediate (model 600) and Large (model 1025) size equipment heads provide the real estate to be configured for each application ranging from anesthesia to nursing utility to a full-service endoscopic equipment tower.
  • Large Service Capacity -- The combination of large throat size and service head provides the capacity for as many as 12 Gas Outlets and 18 Duplex Power Outlets in addition to a full array of low voltage services, while also offering non-critical as well as critical power. Your preference of gas outlet keying will also be accommodated to ensure standardization throughout the hospital.
  • Pneumatic Braking System -- Our braking system ensures steadfast performance at all times. Equipment will remain precisely where it is placed without the risk of drifting during a surgical procedure. Controls have been conveniently located for easy access should you need to reposition an arm during a case.
  • A Full Complement of Accessories -- The Navigator System can be fully accessorized to add Shelving, Storage Drawers, Keyboard Trays, Cable Organizers, Suction Bottle Holders plus many more useful items to help personalize your room for maximum efficiency.

Simply translated, the arm can be easily repositioned when setting up for the next case while ensuring dependability.
