Dialysis centers place special demands on medical infrastructure. In addition to performing renal replacement therapy, the technical requirements for various care scenarios must also be taken into account. Medical gases can be an integral part of the clinical and medical technology infrastructure.

Oxygen, for example, can be used as part of medical care in dialysis centers. Compressed air is used, among other things, as a process gas for suitable medical devices. Depending on the technical equipment and area of application, other gases—such as carbon dioxide of the appropriate quality—may also be used for specific technical processes.

The specific use of medical gases is determined by their intended purpose, approval or product specifications, as well as the applicable technical and regulatory requirements.
