5 Checklist Points for a Medical Gas Installation

Medical gases that are used in numerous healthcare facilities are critical elements to take care of the patients. One of the most demanding jobs of a qualified healthcare facility manager is making sure that the facility stays 100 percent compliant with the use of all the medical gases in the facility. Compliance means you need to take care of the repair, fix any issues present, and bring in an expert for the maintenance and inspection of the gas systems. For this, you might be required to seek help from a medical gas plumbing service as well. Because medical gases are such vital elements in the healthcare sector, the installation of these items must be accomplished in the best possible way. While you are dealing with these critical gases, there are certain specific questions (or you can say checklist) that you need to ask yourself before you proceed with the installation part. Let’s look at these questions in the next part of the post. 


Are the blueprints present for the new, as well as the existing system? The engineered blueprints have a crucial role to play here to make sure patients are safe during the operations and the design is fully secure. 
 
Is there is compiled a list of the risk assessment to shut down the medical gas setup in case there’s an emergency? All the department heads must be fully aware of this information and each one remaining accountable in case there’s an investigation. 


Are certified ASSE 6010 installers and the best gas plumbers service in USA are being used for the project?


Are the staff and healthcare workers aware of the potential effects of the medical gases on the patient’s body? Is there is an active emergency plan for an event when any of the medical gases get affected during an operation project?
 
What level of temporary is the level of supply of the medical gases? Has the back feed been completely verified? Has the medical facility complied with all the NFPA 99 requirements? Will the master alarms still work in case there’s a complete system shutdown or malfunction?
