BENDER – SPECIALIST
FOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IN HOSPITALS
THERE FROM THE
VERY START...
1960
In order for medical technical equipment to function, there has to be a
reliable electricity supply. This, coupled with the fact that any power failure is
likely to put people’s lives at risk, imposes stringent requirements as regards
the reliability of power supplies for medical locations. Back in the 1960s, when
the very first independent hospital standards were introduced in Germany,
Bender was one of the first companies to launch an electronic insulation
monitoring device for unearthed power supply systems (IT systems) within
medical locations. Today, the company offers a universal solution for reliable
medical locations power supplies in the form of its MEDICS® universal
changeover and monitoring system.
In 1962 the first independent VDE standard specifically relating
to medical locations was published. The A-ISOMETER® 107TM2
was one of the world’s first electronic insulation monitoring
devices to ever be launched for use in medical locations.
Bender – All-round service
The customer and the search for solutions to customer-specific requirements
are at the heart of everything we do. Regardless of which phase you are at,
whether it’s planning, configuration, commissioning or actual operation, our
specialists will be happy to help.
1980
In the light of new discoveries and to take account of
internationally binding specifications, in June 1981, standard
DIN VDE 0107: 1981-06 entitled “Erection and testing
electrical installations in medical locations” came into force.
At this point, the A-ISOMETER® 107TM40 was introduced
for the purpose of monitoring IT systems. In addition, series
production of alarm indicator and operator panels for hospitals
began, specifically those intended for use in operating theatres
and on intensive care units.
2000
The proliferation of modern bus systems and the desire for
more information culminated in the development of the
MEDICS® system at the end of the 1990s. The buzzwords
associated with this development were: increased reliability
for power supplies in medical locations, data exchange via
bus systems, display of information in plain-text format and
user-friendliness. In November 2002 standard DIN VDE 0100710 (VDE 0100-710): 2002-11 came into force, superseding
DIN VDE 0107 (VDE 0107): 1994-10. This national standard,
which is based on international draft standard IEC 60364-7710, takes account of the latest advances within the field of
medical engineering and higher levels of safety awareness.
The MEDICS® system also meets these new requirements,
thereby providing clear proof of Bender’s forward-thinking
strategy.
1990
Work continued on German standard DIN VDE 0107 to ensure
that it remained in line with the current state of the art. A new
edition was published in 1994. The key points covered by
this standard were the requirements and use of standalone
changeover equipment for redundant power supplies. The
UM107ETU changeover and monitoring module was the first
complete solution for Group 2 rooms to be made available on
the market. In addition, the first alarm indicator and operator
panels with plain-text display were launched.

...AND STILL HERE
IT SYSTEM FLOOR
STANDING DISTRIBUTION CABINET SERIES IPS-F
Application
The IT system distribution cabinet in the IPS-F series supply electrical
power to group 2 medical locations. In such locations, according to the
requirements of IEC 60364-7-710 for circuits supplying medical electrical
Equipment and systems intended for life support, surgical applications
and other electrical equipment located in the “patient environment”
the use of the IT system with insulation monitoring and load current
monitoring (IEC 60364-7-710) is recommended. This requirement
applies for example for anaesthetic rooms, operating theatres, operating
preparation rooms, operating plaster rooms, operating recovery
rooms, heart catheterisation rooms, intensive care rooms, angiographic
examination rooms, premature baby rooms. The distribution cabinet
of the IPS-F series feature all necessary components and are supplied
prewired to terminals, thereby drastically reducing the time needing to be
spent on installation and commissioning. The completely factory tested
cabinets do comply with our high quality and safety requirements and
ISO9001 standard.
Built-in components in accordance with IEC 60364-7710 BS7671:2008, HTM 06-01 and MEIGaN
The IPS-F series distribution cabinet feature the following components:
Device features
– Complete standardized IT system featuring 3.15…8 kVA Isolating transformer
– Insulation, load, temperature and connection monitoring
– Main isolator switch
– 6 subcircuits with 2-pole circuitbreakers / IT system (max. 18)
– Power supply unit for alarm indicator
and operator panels
– Time saving as the floor-standing distribution cabinets are supplied prewired and factory tested
– Versions for 1…4 IT systems in one enclosure
– Designed in accordance with the requirements of applicable standards
– In and out going wires are terminated by screwless type/cage clamp spring terminals
or as per customers specification
– Exchange of information via bus technology
– Short delivery times

Insulation, load and temperature monitoring
The 107TD47 insulation monitoring device continuously monitors the
insulation resistance, load current and the temperature of the IT system
transformer. If one or a number of response values have been reached
(insulation resistance, load current, temperature), the alarm relay will
switch and a corresponding message will appear. The connecting cables
to the system and PE, as well as to the measuring current transformer
and temperature sensor, are permanently monitored. In the event of wire
breakage or short circuit, of the current transformer an alarm will come on.
The patented AMP measuring technique is used in order to exclude the
possibility of insulation monitoring being impaired by DC components.
Messages displayed in plain text
The unique status, warning and fault messages are displayed in plain text.
The MK2430/MK800 alarm indicator and test combination or TM alarm
indicator and operator panel must to be installed in a suitable location
in the medical location and permanently monitored by medical staff. A
twisted pair shielded bus cable is used to connect the IPS distribution
cabinet to the alarm indicator panels.

IPS/UPS SYSTEMS AND
THE NEED FOR A
SERVICING PLAN
Isolated Power Systems and Uninterrupted Power Supplies are highly specialised pieces of
equipment, which if correctly verified and maintained, will provide excellent service protecting
the critical systems for many years.
Any failure in these systems may result in
serious consequences for industrial operations
as well as for patients and staff in the
medical sector.
In order to maintain precise operational
performance, maximise reliability and
minimise operational costs each IPS should
receive regular preventative maintenance and
verification inspections in line with BS7671710.6, 710.61, 710.62, HTM06-01 Part B and
MEIGaN.
Bender UK’s service agreements can be tailored
to each client’s specific needs and are renewable
for either annual or multiyear contracts.
The IPS verification would involve the
following checks:
– 24/7 365 telephone support
The IPS verification options include all of the
manufacturer verification inspections, and
telephone support 24/7, 365 days a year. These
options can include for any spares required
during the arranged visit.
The IPS Systems are backed by UPS systems.
In order to optimise operational reliability of
the UPS systems, and hence provide maximum
power protection to the critical load, it is
strongly recommended that all UPS systems
are also comprehensively maintained under an
extended warranty agreement.
Third party equipment
UNINTERRUPTIBLE
POWER SUPPLIES (UPS)

MEDICAL SECTOR
Bender UK’s experienced and sector specific expert technicians offer a carefully tailored service
package designed to give all our clients precisely the level of support they require. Having a service
package for numerous products all under one Bender Contract can significantly reduce clinical
downtime and admin costs for the end user.
A safe electrical infrastructure is clearly crucial
in a medical environment where critical system
issues can literally be a matter of life or death.
Additionally there are clear guidelines within
the health sector’s electrical installation
regulations that dictate the level and frequency
of equipment testing and verification, so as not
to expose the hospital to undue risk.
This risk can be reduced by incorporating a
carefully planned preventative maintenance
schedule.
With Bender UK currently supplying
maintenance for critical power systems to over
170 hospitals throughout the UK, and with a
network of factory-trained engineers offering a
rapid response to any eventuality.
A Bender UK maintenance agreement could be
