The MGS Quality Management System is compliant with the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice and Good Distribution Practice. The Quality Management System is certified as meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. ISO 13485:2003 and the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC

MGS supplies a comprehensive range of products and services to a broad range of healthcare professionals including the Ambulance Service, Fire Service, Police Service, Hazardous Area Response Teams (HART), St John Ambulance, Doctors, Dentists, Nurses, Midwives.

We have always worked with our customers in order to provide them with the products that meet their particular needs. We have a standard range of light weight medical gas cylinders fitted with an integral pressure regulator valve. This built in regulator eliminates the need to purchase and maintain separate regulators for use with medical gas cylinders. The integral pressure regulator valves have been designed to be safe and easy to use.

In 2003 MGS were the first medical gas supplier to provide a 1 litre ultra-light weight high pressure medical gas cylinders to the Ambulance Service for use by their rapid response units, motor cycle paramedics and the cycle response units. Over the last 7 years high pressure, long duration ultra-light weight medical gas cylinders have become a standard requirement of ambulance services for this type of application.

More recently MGS co-operated with the Ambulance Service, Fire Services and the Department of Health in order to develop and manufacture a medical oxygen delivery system with the capability to deliver medical oxygen to a number of casualties, the MPU. This equipment was originally devised to help the emergency services to deal with the aftermath of major events (such as chemical or biological accident or attack) by providing a sustained supply of medical oxygen from one unit for up to 48 causalities simultaneously for up to 30 minutes. It has proven to be invaluable for treating casualties at the scene of major incidents such as road accidents, fires in retirement homes and chemical leaks at swimming baths.

The MPU is currently being reviewed for use as an emergency standby system as a back-up supply of medical oxygen in hospitals, for the supply of oxygen for temporary hospitals and/or emergency treatment centres.

After strenuous evaluation by the UK Emergency Preparedness Division of the Department of Health, MGS has been awarded the Department of Health framework agreement to provide the MPU and support services to the NHS throughout the UK

MGS products are available as part of a provision of service or as an individual sale.

It is our policy to maintain and build our business by providing a safe, reliable product range that meets the needs of our customers at a cost effective price, supported by comprehensive service and support operations.

MGS works with customers to ensure that customer requirements are met providing the right service and product range.

Luxfer Excursion cylinders help Medical Gas Solutions win NHS contract

Medical Gas Solutions have recently been awarded a Department of Health contract to supply National Health Service Trusts with the revolutionary MPU multi-patient oxygen delivery system, which incorporates Luxfer's 300 bar Excursion cylinders, part of the Luxfer Medical product range.

Extended capacity MPU systems have proven to be a major breakthrough in helping emergency services deal with the aftermath of major incidents by providing a sustained supply of oxygen for up to 48 casualties from one unit that delivers 8 litres per minute for up to half an hour.

Originally developed for use after a chemical or biological attack, the MPU series is now being reviewed for use as an emergency standby oxygen supply for main hospitals, temporary hospitals and emergency treatment centres.

Weighing approximately 80kg when all cylinders are full, MPU units have been ergonomically developed to include user-friendly control panels mounted on a purpose-built trolley capable of holding four 10 litre cylinders producing up to 13,600 litres of medical oxygen.

Additional features include simple, low-level monitoring and automatic changeover from empty to full cylinders without interrupting the oxygen supply to casualties. Empty cylinders can be easily changed while the system automatically switches back to the duty cylinders. Standby trolleys are also available carrying four spare cylinders. For optimum safety in transit, units can be clamped securely to the vehicle floor.

Vicky Butler, Luxfer's medical marketing manager, said: We have been working closely alongside Medical Gas Solutions to help provide a viable, lightweight cylinder capable of delivering optimum capacities of oxygen to frontline crews. The Luxfer Medical Excursion range proved to be the ideal solution.

The MPU was the first system to combine all the benefits of lightweight, carbon-wrapped, high-pressure cylinders into a system capable of supplying medical oxygen through a series of hoses and multi-flow therapy heads.
