There should be a structure above the ceiling plane to support the unit. Similar to an above ceiling support structure for ceiling hung toilet compartments. The angle shapes accessory in the photo is simply an escutcheon to conceal the opening in the ceiling membrane. Consult with a structural engineer to design the suspended structure.

The support for the column would be Unistrut type medical equipment supports specified in Div. 05 and use delegated design for coordination of the equipment with the supports.
