  For the MedAus­tron fa­cil­ity under con­struc­tion in Wiener Neustadt/Aus­tria, two elec­tro­sta­tic septa are built in col­lab­o­ra­tion with CERN. These septa will be used for the multi-turn in­jec­tion of pro­tons and ions, as well as for the slow ex­trac­tion from the syn­chro­tron. The power sup­plies are de­signed to com­bine the re­quired pre­ci­sion with the ca­pa­bil­ity to cycle suf­fi­ciently fast to keep up with the ma­chine cycle. The septa are being as­sem­bled at CERN. Ini­tial tests have been done on the re­mote dis­place­ment sys­tem to val­i­date its pre­ci­sion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion pro­to­col with the MedAus­tron con­trol sys­tem. Sub­se­quently the septa are tested for vac­uum per­for­mance and then HV con­di­tioned. The con­struc­tion of the septa, the re­quire­ments of the power sup­plies and the high volt­age cir­cuit will be de­scribed. Re­sults of the ini­tial lab­o­ra­tory tests, prior to in­stal­la­tion in the ac­cel­er­a­tor, will be given.
