Three Product Groups

Backed by ESAB Corporation (NYSE: ESAB), GCE has grown its global footprint through the merging of leading gas-equipment providers, expanding its reach across the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Its products undergo rigorous testing and certifications to meet international quality and safety standards. GCE is organized into three product divisions:

GCE Speciality (gce-speciality.com) — incorporating the druva^®, GASARC^®, Victor^®, brands — caters to high-purity market sectors such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor and automotive manufacturing, analytical laboratories, food and beverage, refrigeration, and industrial applications. GCE engineers regulators, manifolds, and other specialized products to maintain gas purity and deliver consistent, repeatable performance in environments where even minor contamination or pressure variation can impact results. GCE’s FloCloud digital solution enables users to monitor gas levels, detect gas leaks/confirm system integrity, monitor consumption, identify over-consumption, ensure gas flow and pressure are within limits for consistent quality, and allocate costs.

GCE Medical (gce-medical.com) — incorporating GCE Healthcare, Therapy Equipment, Ohio Medical, DeltaP and Aktiv Technologies brands — serves pre-hospital, hospital, emergency, and home care medical settings. Products include medical source gas equipment, medical high-pressure regulators, gas manifolds and pipeline systems, oxygen concentrators, ambulance panels, emergency equipment, and other products that ensure the safe and reliable delivery of life-supporting gases from source to patient.

GCE Industrial (gce-industrial.com - coming soon) — incorporating the Kayser brand — has its origins in oxy fuel welding and cutting and has expanded into segments that use regulators, valves, central gas supply systems, cutting and welding torches and equipment, welding consumables, and safety gear.  In industrial applications, the FloCloud Industry 4.0 gas monitoring solution reduces the costs and chance of error that comes from manually checking gas levels, reduces the cost of waste associated with parameters being out of specification, and reduces the chance of interrupted flow, and helps detect leaks.

Specializing in collaboration with Horiba's Automotive Division, We were acknowledged for providing turnkey project solutions for Emission Test Bed base applications - a vital aspect of Horiba's India operations.

The Horiba Group is renowned globally for its expertise in five key segments: Automotive, Process and Environmental Instruments, Medical Diagnostics, Semiconductors, and Scientific Instruments. 

This award not only recognizes the exceptional partnership between Horiba and GCE India but also symbolizes the shared values and vision that have solidified their long-standing relationship. It sets an inspiring example for other vendors, emphasizing the significance of fostering strong, mutually beneficial collaborations.

Deeply honoured to receive this accolade, GCE India looks forward to continuing their fruitful association with Horiba, contributing to the mutual growth and success of both organizations in the years ahead. This milestone marks a remarkable journey together and signifies a bright future of innovation, progress, and shared success.

We are glad that, despite the unfavorable time, we can offer our usual short delivery times, both for technical and medical valves. All this is mainly thanks to almost 100% in-house production in the area of the cylinder and combined valves and the foresight behavior of our purchasing department, which ensured the timely availability of all necessary production parts.

The first medical regulators were just industrial regulators with a few alterations. Today’s medical gas control devices have many advanced design features that make them easier to use, more accurate, simpler to maintain and less costly. Now, as COVID-19 has brought about the highest need for medical oxygen than ever before, there’s a higher demand for gas delivery devices such as regulators and flowmeters.

WHICH DEVICE DEPENDS ON APPLICATIONS

Knowing which devices to choose depends on the application for which it’s going to be used. The primary applications for oxygen (and oxygen mixes such as nitrous oxide) are hospital wards, emergency medical services (ambulance, rescue kit), long-term care facilities and home. Each of these situations has different variables that require different devices.

THE SOURCE ACCORDING TO DELIVERY POINT

The source of medical oxygen also varies by delivery point. Bulk vessels are used in mid- to large-sized hospitals and long-term care facilities that require constant access to gas. The bulk tank is connected to a central gas supply system that has terminals through out the facility.

The team went a thorough overview of all MCGS from the product range, to ISO standard to MDR. They have been presented also the main topics and goals of the Hospital Ward and Emergency equipment.

The event was a great success and we are prepared to continue to support our colleagues and customers. 

Please contact our teams in any matters.

Sir Humphrey Davey (also the inventor of the Davey lamp) first began using gases for pain relief in the 19th Century.

In 1844, Gardner Quincy Colton, an American showman, medicine man, lecturer, and former medical student presented a demonstration of nitrous oxide inhalation, and the need to assure the correct gas was being connected was born.

The US Fire Protection Association, together with CGA along with the American Society of Anaesthesiologists designed the Pin Index system in 1952.

The extremely compact valve design uses geometrically arranged pins and hollows surrounding the gas connection eliminates the risk of accidental connection of an incorrect gas.

In recent years, however, customer needs demand both higher purity and greater medicinal integrity levels within each gas cylinder, requiring the inclusion of a Residual Pressure Device (RPD).

But the beneficially compact size of the Pin Index valve makes this an extremely challenging technical hurdle.

GCE is delighted to bring to the Global Market their new PIN index valves with RPD to fulfil all of these needs.

When the bottle is opened, this natural, dissolved CO₂ creates an effervescent “fizz” as it breaks free from solution in the drink wherever a bubble nucleation site exists, giving these drinks their distinct refreshing appeal and contributing to their mouthfeel.

In modern times, brewers and winemakers began to enhance the gasification process by adding supplementary CO₂ to modify the level of carbonation in drinks to change the taste, look and feel of the drinks, as well as preserving the beer.

GCE now offer a range of re-useable, interchangeable gas cylinder diptubes to suit all cylinder sizes. These devices ensure that during cylinder filling, the High Pressure Nitrogen is jetted right into the body of the liquid CO₂ resting at the bottom of the cylinder during the filling processThis vapourises and agitates the CO₂, rapidly mixing the gases together.

Have you ever wondered why eggs remain fresh longer unrefrigerated than you might expect from any other similar dairy foods? Cream, for example, would quickly turn sour, smelly and green if not kept in a fridge. 

Eggs are blessed with a semi-permeable membrane under their shells, which helps to keep environmental contaminants out.

So why are beverage gas cylinders like chickens?

The answer is quite simple. Chickens through their natural respiration process, carbonate their eggs with CO₂ before laying them, ensuring longevity even in the warmest of conditions, in a nest underneath a chicken, for example.

So a chicken is like a beverage gas cylinder as it delivers the perfect gas mixture into a comestible product to ensure the product remains fresh longer, looking, feeling and tasting exactly as it should. 

Today, the brewing industry comprises several multinational companies and a multitude of smaller producers ranging from brewpubs to regional and national breweries. 

You can see using of tubes during the exact mixing of CO2 in the animation. 

The team will be located in Hall 7 on stand H38 and will be showcasing:

• Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) – Delivers up to 2LPM in pulse and continuous mode.
• Zen-O lite™ Lightweight Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) – Delivers up to 1050ml. The quietest POC in its class.
• Clarity online platform - helps home oxygen providers offer better care to patients.
• Slide Pressure Watch - Used in medical gas pipeline systems to monitor the correct distribution pressure on department/section/room level.
• Bed Head Unit - For patient rooms. Equipped with medical gas outlets, electrical or media sockets, nurse call systems etc. 
• New Suction Range - Clears retained or excessive lower respiratory tract secretions for patients.
• A variety of regulators, valves and flowmeters and other equipment used in administration of medical gas therapy.

Our experienced team will be pleased to talk you through our products and their features and how we can support you in delivering care to your patients.

Specialty gases are used in various industries and applications. GCE gas control equipment is made to initiate, stabilize and avoid chemical processes and increase the efficiency of the welding and cutting processes.

An important part of the catalogue also concerns supply systems of medical gases in hospitals. High-purity gases require high-quality products.

To raise awareness of this debilitating condition, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) is marking the 21st November 2018 as World COPD Day with the theme ‘Never too Early, Never too late’.

This type of progressive lung disease is characterised by increasing breathlessness, leading to a growing demand for Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC).  Designed to improve quality of life for COPD patients, GCE Healthcare has increased the investment in research and development to help patients remain active and independent. 

Our product innovations include the Zen-O™ and Zen-O lite™ portable oxygen concentrators, which allow patients the freedom to move both inside and outside their home. They also offer best in class technology to detect shallow breaths and deliver a constant bolus of oxygen in response to different activity levels and breath rate.

With GCE Healthcare’s latest product Clarity, we’re harnessing advances in telehealth technology to allow providers and clinicians to review POCs’ usage history to make sure they are using the right system and are adhering to their oxygen therapy.

GCE Healthcare today announced the launch of a secure online platform that will enable home oxygen providers to remotely monitor GCE’s Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC).

Clarity uses smart, secure and connected technology to place a wealth of information at the providers’ fingertips 24/7, from an online device, wherever they are. The information ranges from flow to oxygen purity, device location and battery life. Providers can also give their patients and their families access to the platform, giving patients an extra support network.

The platform uses the GSM and GPS in the POC unit to transmit data. This reliable system means home oxygen providers are not dependent on the patient having a smartphone or Bluetooth enabled phone. 

With Clarity, providers can offer enhanced customer service at reduced operating costs. Using Clarity from a desktop or mobile device, they can easily check how well the Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC) is working and get advanced pre-emptive notice of any issues promptly.

Donald Oleforo, GCE’s Group Product Manager, Homecare, said: “With Clarity, home oxygen providers can see how their Zen-O™ devices are performing, giving them visibility of their POC fleet and the ability to act if need be. It helps predict maintenance and proactive patient visits. This will help providers reduce their operating costs by planning their time and resources. They can then deliver improved service levels to patients and even better levels of care.”

Clarity also gives users, and their loved ones, reassurance and confidence because they can see how their connected Zen-O device is performing.

In developing the platform, GCE was conscious of the need for enhanced internet security and deployed best in class security protocols to transmit and store data. Any data between the connected Zen-O™ and the Clarity platform is also encrypted. 

GCE has plans to roll out additional features that will give clinicians the ability to remotely gather clinical patient data and also enable its smaller Zen-O lite™ portable oxygen concentrator on the Clarity platform.

The Zen-O Lite™ is one of the lightest portable oxygen therapy devices on the market and gives respiratory patients more freedom to move about.

GCE Healthcare is pleased to announce the launch of the Zen-O Lite™ lightweight portable oxygen concentrator (POC) – its second portable oxygen concentrator launched this year to increase mobility for patients that require supplemental oxygen therapy.

Compact and ultra-portable, Zen-O Lite™ is designed to reduce the limitations that respiratory disorders put on mobility. It helps patients with disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, to stay independent and active.

Zen-O Lite™ weighs in at 2.5kg (5.5lbs) and delivers oxygen on demand at an output of 1050ml per minute. For patients who need more oxygen, there’s the Zen-O™, which was launched in January 2016. It has a higher output of 2litres of oxygen per minute and is also portable at 4.66kg (10lbs). 

Mike Galvin, Managing Director of GCE Healthcare, said: "The Zen-O Lite™ extends our homecare product range to provide more choice and freedom for patients with respiratory disorders. Zen-O Lite™ is one of the lightest portable oxygen devices on the market and will help patients who are more active to continue to be mobile and do the activities they love."

Both Zen-O Lite™ and Zen-O™ are simple to operate and come with a battery, DC and AC power cords, and a carry bag, a pull cart (Zen-O only) plus a three-year device warranty. They are also easy to maintain, with sieve modules that are easily replaced in the field, avoiding the need to return the device to a service centre, which in turn reduces the cost of ownership for home oxygen providers. 

"Zen-O Lite™ and Zen-O™ represent a major investment in high-quality innovative products by our parent company, GCE Group, in GCE Healthcare’s homecare business," added Mike Galvin. "The devices are devised by our dedicated engineering team at our Innovation Centre in St Helens, UK and designed and manufactured in the UK to relevant, international standards. As part of GCE Group’s global supply chain, we’re also able to deliver our range, parts and accessories, efficiently and promptly."

GCE Healthcare launches portable oxygen concentrator to increase mobility for people living with chronic respiratory disease

The Zen-O™ is a compact supplementary oxygen therapy device that gives respiratory patients more independence within and outside their homes

UK, 4 January 2016 – GCE Healthcare today announced the launch of the Zen-O™ portable oxygen concentrator (POC)  – the first product to be developed by its new Innovation Centre in St Helens, UK.

The unobtrusive Zen-O™ is a lightweight oxygen therapy device that weighs in at 4.66kg (10lbs) and can be carried in a carry bag or pull cart. Its portability makes it easier for patients living with lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)¹ to get out and about and receive oxygen when they need it most.

Mike Galvin, Managing Director of GCE Healthcare, said: “The Zen-O™ gives patients the means to remain mobile and carry on living their lives independently. It is one of the few mobile oxygen therapy devices to be manufactured in the UK and is the first of a number of focused products we want to bring to the homecare market in future under our own brand name.”

As well as delivering mobility to patients, the Zen-O™ is easy for home oxygen providers to maintain.

“All concentrators have parts that wear and degrade. We have designed sieve beds that can be changed at the

patient’s premises, without having to be returned to base, and this will significantly lower the cost of ownership,” said Mike.

Zen-O™ is the latest in a range of medical gas solutions manufactured and distributed by GCE Healthcare, which was formed in 1987 and is part of the GCE Group.

At its Innovation Centre, GCE Healthcare’s team of dedicated engineers combine their expertise and experience to develop high-quality innovative products. Zen-O™ is commercially available and comes with a three-year device or 15,000 hours of total use warranty. Zen-O™ was rigorously tested by an internationally recognised testing facility.
