BeaconMedaes is proud to announce that its MAT-S Automatic Manifold Changeover System has received certification under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR). This milestone highlights BeaconMedaes’ commitment to providing safe, high-quality, and innovative medical gas solutions that meet the latest regulatory standards.

The EU MDR was introduced to enhance patient safety, improve device traceability, and ensure rigorous oversight of medical devices throughout their lifecycle. By meeting these stringent requirements, the MAT-S manifold provides hospitals and healthcare facilities with a fully certified, reliable medical gas supply system, offering healthcare professionals and patients confidence in its safety, quality, and performance.

Meeting the Highest Standards

Achieving MDR certification required compliance with 13 international standards (ISO & IEC), covering key aspects such as risk management, traceability, and governance. Among these, the MAT-S adheres to EN ISO 10524-2:2019, which sets out design, materials, and construction requirements for pressure regulators used in medical gas manifolds and line pressure regulators. This ensures superior reliability and safety in medical gas supply management.

Performance & Efficiency

The MAT-S remains the benchmark in manifold technology, setting the standard in performance and efficiency with its proven dome-bias regulator design. By reducing the number of connections, it minimises leak risks while ensuring exceptional reliability.

A lightweight, corrosion-resistant cover extends its lifespan, while its low change-over pressures (10.4 bar for 4.0 bar manifolds, 20.0 bar for 8.0 and 11.0 bar versions) optimise gas utilisation, increasing uptime and reducing costs. Its serviceable regulators lower maintenance expenses, while individual service valves enable uninterrupted gas supply during servicing.

Unmatched Monitoring & Compliance

The MAT-S leads the way in intelligent gas management with its 7” touchscreen controller, offering real-time monitoring, alarm overviews, event history, service reminders, and secure access. Facilities can optimise gas consumption and plan refills efficiently with its flow and pressure trend visualisation.

Fully compliant with HTM, NFPA, ISO, and CSA standards, the MAT-S provides hospitals with a certified, robust gas supply system for uninterrupted patient care.

“With the MDR certification of the MAT-S, we reaffirm our dedication to patient safety and technological advancement,” said Arjune Venkataramani, Global Product Marketing Manager for BeaconMedaes. “This certification is a testament to the rigorous standards our products meet, ensuring hospitals have reliable and fully compliant medical gas solutions.”
