A new stance on medical gases.

Managing medical gases demands control, expertise and coordination throughout the healthcare facility to ensure high standards of safety, reliability and efficiency. At the same time, the classification of medical gases to pharmaceutical products brings high demands on clinical, administrative, pharmacy and engineering staff in meeting new regulations and standards.

Best practice

Failure in the quality of the delivery of medical gases can have very serious implications on a healthcare facility and its patients. Operating procedures to be applied have been defined in several international and national Standards, for example ISO 7396, NFPA99. As a result, more and more facilities are implementing hospital-wide audits to review the risks of their pipe line systems, and their compliance with the Standards. Inspection authorities are taking an increasingly strong line on compliance. Insurance companies are following suit, setting higher insurance premiums if the correct standards are not applied.
