Mod­ern hos­pit­als are com­plex sys­tems: Lives are saved here; pa­tients are treated and cared for – a stable or­gan­ism with ex­tens­ive ve­get­at­ive func­tions. In the day-to-day life of a hos­pital, all staff­ing levels make sure that the hos­pital runs smoothly and that pa­tient wel­fare is at the top of the agenda, as pa­tients re­quire rest, pro­tec­tion and help. The every­day life of a clinic is not im­mune to fires, but a tar­geted pre­cau­tion­ary sys­tem does pro­tect its key or­gans. Hos­pit­als these days, more than ever, there­fore have to cre­ate a work­ing en­vir­on­ment where doc­tors, nurses and carers can focus on their core com­pet­en­cies. The struc­tural design of a clinic is in this re­gard an im­port­ant con­di­tion. Mod­ern build­ing ser­vices re­lieve and sup­port em­ploy­ees in their work for pa­tients. Mod­ern fire pro­tec­tion provides an ad­equate tech­nical frame­work so that staff and pa­tients feel safe. Flames, smoke, gas emis­sions, heat – fire has many fa­cets. Minimax has the right fire de­tect­ors for all areas within a hos­pital. Their sig­nals con­verge in the fire de­tec­tion and ex­tin­guish­ing con­trol panel, which is­sues an alarm to the people at risk and the fire bri­gade. In ad­di­tion, the Minimax panel mon­it­ors the in­stalled fire pro­tec­tion sys­tem for proper func­tion­ing and elec­tric­ally trig­gers the ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems that are not equipped with their own trig­ger­ing ele­ments, e.g. sprink­ler sys­tems. A sprink­ler sys­tem en­sures over­all build­ing pro­tec­tion in a hos­pital. Minimax of­fers a broad range of sprink­ler types and spe­cial sprink­lers that allow for ideal ad­apt­a­tion of the sprink­ler sys­tem to the re­spect­ive in­stall­a­tion situ­ation in the vari­ous pro­tec­ted areas. Areas with spe­cial fire risks or de­ploy­ment con­di­tions re­quire - either in ad­di­tion to or in­stead of the sprink­ler sys­tem - a tailored volume or local pro­tec­tion sys­tem. For this reason, de­luge sys­tems, Mini­fog water mist ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems, foam ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems, Oxeo inert gas ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems and halo­car­bon ex­tin­guish­ing sys­tems are used in hos­pit­als. Struc­tural fire pro­tec­tion, as well as tech­nical sys­tems by Minimax Mo­bile Ser­vices, such as fire ex­tin­guish­ers, wall hy­drants and smoke and heat ex­trac­tion sys­tems, com­plete fire pro­tec­tion in hos­pit­als.
