ZGV

Deutsch > Englisch Medizin Medizin: Instrumente Hospital Care of Newborns
"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.

Rowan Morrell (asker) Dec 10, 2014:
Yes, you're right Harald. It occurred to me a couple of minutes after asking the question, and a bit of Googling confirmed it. But it's good to have further confirmation, and it will also be good to get this in the KudoZ glossary.

...or """central gas supply"""

ZGV stands for 'Zentrale Gasversorgung' (as opposed to bottled medical gases).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "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."
