Why do I need the new DPM-99?

*Performance that exceeds the latest requirements of NFPA99 for Med Gas Dew Point Monitoring

*NIST traceable Dew Point

*Continuous Dew Point Monitoring

*Easy to install, virtually maintenance free

Patient Safety:

The NFPA99 has mandated that for Med Gas systems the "dew point for locally compressed air shall be monitored and alarmed per 4-3.1.9.8 and 4-3.1.1.2(f) to protect from a line pressure dew point rise to 39°F (3.9°C) from a nominal design of 35°F(1.7°C)." This safeguard was the foundation for the new EdgeTech and AIRVAC Technical Services DPM-99 Med Gas Dew Point Monitor. This specifically designed monitor exceeds the requirements set-forth by the NFPA and was a collaboration with AIRVAC Technical Services who are certified by P.IP.E as medical gas inspectors in all 50 US states.

Reliable:

The DPM-99 utilizes a chilled mirror sensor, the most accurate reliable dew point sensing scheme. This primary measurement is directly traceable to N.I.S.T.. The DPM-99 also uses a modified Automatic Balance Cycle (ABC) that allows for continuous monitoring of dew point with virtually maintenance-free operation. Dew point is monitored continuously for safety in the DPM-99 in comparison to only 5% of the time as touted by other manufacturers.

Easy to Install:

The DPM-99 is a complete Dew Point Monitoring system. It consists of the sensor, Audible & Visual Alarms, and flow controller contained within an easily mountable ruggedized aluminum NEMA-12 enclosure. Only 1 sample line and power connections need to be made to become immediately compliant.

Why do I need this Dew Point Monitor?

Because the NFPA99, section 4-5.1.5 requires dew point levels be monitored and maintained below 39°F(3.9°C). This is not only to protect expensive equipment such as ventilators and respirators but most importantly the end-user: THE PATIENT. The EdgeTech DPM-99 surpasses the requirements set-forth by the NFPA.

Should I upgrade?

Older systems that are "grandfathered" should be upgraded for peace of mind that your Med Gas system is not endangering patients with dew points that are higher than the 39°F (3.9°C) mandated by the NFPA.
