Infusion pumps- volumetric and syringe pumps Intensive care equipment active respiratory gas humidifier – Laser instruments for surgery Medical freezers Medical lighting- operation lamps Monitoring equipment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Patient warming systems Ultrasound X-ray Key environmental impacts The proposed GPP criteria are designed to reflect the key environmental impacts. This approach is summarised as follows: Key Environmental Impacts GPP Approach Energy usage in the use phase energy efficient equipment (Ex. Global warming) Award automatic low power mode Purchase equipment supplied with Water consumption in the use performance management instructions phase, dialysis, disinfectors Award water efficient dialysis and (Water scarcity) disinfectant equipment Gas consumption in the use Award low-flow, leak-tested anaesthesia phase, anaesthesia equipment equipment (Ex. Global warming) Award medical freezers containing GWP of refrigerants in medical refrigerants with low GWP freezers (Global warming, Award material conscious designed ozone depletion) equipment Use of materials Purchase eco designed equipment (Scarcity of resources) Award refurbishment Content of hazardous phase out of hazardous substances chemicals Purchase equipment that in production (Ex. Carcinogenic properties) fulfills social requirements regarding working Social and ethical impacts such conditions, health and safety and decent as workers’ conditions etc. work standards The order of impacts does not necessarily reflect their importance. EU GPP Criteria for Indoor Lighting The below proposed EU GPP criteria for health care EEE are based on data and information in the Technical Background Report. 3.1 EU GPP criteria for health care EEE
