In short
The hospital sector has the highest PPE regime of all 7 sectors — because a JCI / ISO 13485 auditor enters the facility regularly, and the cost of one healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in the EU averages EUR 4 000-12 000. MedicLine configuration: 4 × 392 mm wall station in every airlock, SecuBox Maxi 12 transparent for a 12-person team, Easy Saver at the OR entry, ESS03KS for surgical caps. JCI / ISO 13485 / EU Directive 2010/32 compliance. Back to 7 sectors →
An 8-person team (surgeon, assistant, scrub nurse, 2 anaesthesiologists, orderly, perfusion technician, day coordinator) enters the airlock 12 minutes before the first procedure. Does the PPE-donning procedure take 11 minutes or 4 minutes? Everything depends on one thing: where and how the dispensers are arranged. In a facility where masks sit in a nurse's drawer, caps in another drawer, gowns in another room and glasses "somewhere in a basket" — the sequence becomes 11 minutes. In a facility with the 4 × 392 mm wall station + Maxi 12 with name labels + Easy Saver at the entry — 4 minutes. The JCI auditor sees that in 30 seconds.

See cap dispensers →Buyer persona — who really decides?
Operating theatre manager + infection-control nurse
The OR manager defines functional requirements (where the station goes, how many shifts, how many people), the infection-control nurse enforces compliance with procedures and JCI audit. Purchase decision formally belongs to the hospital procurement department, but configuration approval is a consensus between those two.
What convinces them: visual coherence (one manufacturer for 80% of PPE equipment), compliance with medical norms (ISO 13485 + EU Directive 2010/32), declarations of conformity documentation in EN, EU VAT invoice, wall-mount installation time (up to 30 min/station), no special tooling needed.
