Description

The Z T Series Integra Med Touch Area Alarm/Zone Valve Box provides veterinary professionals with a reliable, integrated system for medical gas management, combining area alarm functionality with zone valve control in a single, space-efficient panel. Designed to meet NFPA 99 standards, this microprocessor-controlled unit digitally displays gas pressures in 1 psi increments and offers customizable alarm conditions for up to 7 gases, supporting seamless operations in animal health settings where precise gas delivery is critical for procedures like anesthesia and critical care.

Advantages

This integrated alarm and valve box optimizes space in veterinary facilities by housing both monitoring and control components in one unit, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance demands. Veterinary teams benefit from its self-diagnostic capabilities and no-need-for-recalibration design, ensuring long-term reliability and cost savings. The system’s ability to provide customized emergency instructions and last event history enhances response times during gas pressure anomalies, promoting patient safety for animals undergoing surgery or respiratory support. With options for text/email notifications and Ethernet integration, it facilitates remote monitoring, allowing busy animal hospitals to maintain uninterrupted gas supply and comply with animal health regulations efficiently. Its durable construction, including blow-out proof stems and oxygen-cleaned valves, offers peace of mind in high-stakes veterinary environments.
