✦ Synopsis

I n Germany, Masterflex Brennstoff- zellentechnik and digomed: medical IT solutions have agreed to cooperate on the marketing of PEM fuel cells for indoor applications on mobile ward rounds and workshop trolleys.

The complete integration of fuel cells in such indoor applications, without the need for additional safety features, is made possible by the innovative, patent-pending Lopes safety system developed by Masterflex Brennstoffzellentechnik.

The unit's high storage density -which needs only 180 g of hydrogen -means that the operational availability of the entire system is much longer than any currently used battery technology. The use of Masterflex fuel cells has eliminated the need for long charging times.
