In order to assist healthcare facilities, comply with the pertinent regulatory agencies, meet specific code requirements, and ensure patient safety, CIRACET Corp. has developed a Medical Gas and Vacuum Systems Maintenance Program. This program will consist of an annual medical gas inspection that will cover outlets/inlets, zone valves, area alarm panels, master alarm panel, manifolds for gas cylinders, medical air compressors and medical surgical vacuum systems.
This procedure permits testing and/or inspection of existing systems without affecting service to the entire facility. It enables a facility to safely, easily, accurately, and completely inspect the system. It is designed to detect problems that can develop during normal system operation.
- PHASE 1 – Alarms, Central Gas System, Zone ValvesArea, Local Alarm Quantitative Test: High Pressure Alarm, Low Pressure AlarmArea, Local Alarm Qualitative Test: Proper Labeling, Service Location, Audibleand Visual Signals, General ConditionZone Valves Qualitative Test: Leak test, Proper Labeling (Gas ID, Area Serviced),General Condition
- PHASE 2 – Medical Gas Outlet/Inlets
Quantitative Tests: Adequate Flow and Adequate Pressure,Qualitative Tests: – Proper Labeling, Fit Test (Lock/Unlock), Leak Test, general condition
- PHASE 3 – Medical Compressed Air, Medical Gas/Vacuum Systems
Medical Compressed Air Systems:Visual Inspections: Medical Air Compressor Aftercooler and Receiver, Medical Air Compressors Dryers, Filters, Regulators and MonitorsMedical Gas/Vacuum Systems:Visual Inspections: Manifold Enclosure Room, Medical Surgical Vacuum Pumps, Emergency Oxygen Supply Connection (EOSC), Master Alarm
- PHASE 4
Cylinder Manifold, Medical Gas Systems, Medical Gas / Vacuum Systems, Medical Compressed Air Systems.
All work will be performed by ASSE 6040 personnel and supervised by engineering personal credentialed as ASSE 6005 – Medical Gas Specialist (ANSI Accredited Program).
This program will establish a Baseline Point to keep your medical gases system in compliance with local, federal, and regulatory agencies. A Medical Gas Report and Facility Medical Gas System Manual, that will serve as your perpetual record for future compliance inspections and evaluations, will be submitted to you upon completion of the project.
