2
NOVAIR

The many advantages in the field of safety and hygiene are;

 No more trailing leads or hoses to restrict movement within the department, all equipment
is attached via short connecting hoses or cables to integral hook up points.
 Fully encapsulated system, incorporating modular service boxes, makes maintenance and
general use easier.
 Single or two pieces arm assemblies, motorised or static, equipment can now be located at
point of use with the greatest of ease.
 Fully equipped as desired with, high and low voltage supplies, medical gas outlet points,
communication points, miscellaneous.
Generally, there are two types of Operating theatre Pendant;

1. Rotating Head Rigid Pendant

2. Multi‐Movement Pendants (Single & Twin Arms)
3. Horizontal Arm Pendants (Single & Twin Arms)
4. Double Arm ICU Pendant

ROTATING HEAD RIGID PENDANT (ACP‐90)

General Description
The unit is a vertically mounted Services Column that is rigidly mounted to the Ceiling
Structure of the Building Fabric. These units normally contain the Medical Gas, AGSS and
Electrical Services such as standard sockets together with UPS Sockets that are required at the
point of use. Configurations of these services will vary depending on the Customer
Specifications and requirements.
Care should be taken to ensure that the unit is securely fixed to ensure that there is a minimum
of deflection at the head/console.

The fixing method and supporting steelwork will vary according the building structure and the
depth of ceiling void.

Practical Considerations
The standard recommended height of the lower face of a rigid pendant with a horizontal shelf
is 1.4 meter, which will provide access to the equipment mounted on the Shelf.

3
NOVAIR

However, Pendants that have no shelf may be mounted at a higher level and which must take
into account the differing heights of theatre personnel who will have to make the connections
to the services, or conditions needed for particular operations.
The pendant should be located near the head of the operating table. However, note must be
taken of any moving equipment in the theatre, such as operating theatre lamps, to ensure
that the location of the pendant does not foul this equipment.
Finish
The pendant is normally supplied in white epoxy finish (RAL 9002), but other colours can be
provided. The unit can also be supplied with a special non‐reflective finish suitable for use with
laser equipment.
Electrical Requirements
The standard supply to the pendant is 220 volts, single phase, 50 Hz. Other voltages and
frequencies are available on request.

Electrical Requirements
The standard supply to the pendant is 220 volts, single phase, 50 Hz. Other voltages and
frequencies are available on request.

The services are run to a first‐fix unit in the ceiling. For medical gases, these services will
terminate in a Non‐interchangeable screw connection (NIST) to BS 5682. The first fix
installation should be completed, fully tested and blanked until the second‐fix installation is
needed. The pendant is supplied as a second‐fix item for installation during the finishing of
the theatre and is normally supplied with all components installed and tested in the factory.
Gas services are via flexible hose connectors, which are attached to the first‐fix NIST
connectors. Electrical services in the pendant normally terminate in a junction (electrical) box,
at the top of the pendant for connection to the hospital electrical wiring system. The pendant
should be fitted to the solid ceiling of the theatre and not supported by a false ceiling only.
The pendant can be supplied as one long unit, which is secured to the main ceiling and then
passes through the false ceiling. Alternatively, a framework can be attached to the main
ceiling, which extends downwards to just above the false ceiling. The pendant can then be
attached to the framework. The pendant is supplied with a beveled fascia plate to provide a
neat junction at the ceiling. All securing bolts must be adequate for the load of the pendant.
Any framework must also be designed for rigidity. Even small loads, such as those imposed by
inserting gas probes can cause large deflections on a long pendant. Any framework should be
designed for maximum rigidity to avoid these deflections.
