Medical - Medical: Instruments / Hospital Care of Newborns
German term or phrase: ZGV
"Dreifachverteiler Druckluft mit automatischem Umschalter ZGV/Flasche und Schienenklaue
Dreifachverteiler Sauerstoff mit automatischem Umschalter ZGV/Flasche und Schienenklaue"

From the technical specs for a sort of shuttle transfer system for babies. I haven't got the slightest idea what "ZGV" stands for in this context. IATE and Wikipedia.de did have some entries for ZGV, but none of them made any sense in this context. TIA for your assistance with this most obscure abbreviation.

Many thanks Harald and also Jacek. This actually occurred to me a couple of minutes after asking the question, but I'm still glad I asked it so it can be entered in the KudoZ glossary, and it's still great to have it confirmed once I had belatedly got a hunch about it. Thanks again - appreciate your help.
