摘要:
An apparatus for controlling fluid flow in a medical facility includes a plurality of remotely controlled zone valves. Each zone valve is coupled to a respective fluid conduit for opening and closing the fluid conduit to control fluid flow therethrough. The apparatus also includes an access terminal installed in a user-accessible location that is located remotely from the zone valves. For example, the zone valve may be located in a ceiling, and the access terminal may be located on a wall. The access terminal has an input interface for receiving instructions to open and close the zone valves, an output device for communicating with the zone valves to remotely open and close each zone valve based on the received instructions, and an alarm for indicating when at least one of the zone valves is closed.
