Because every situation is unique, we customise every single project we undertake to suit your requirements.

A medical gas piped system is designed to provide a safe, reliable and competent method of delivering medical gases, medical air and surgical air from the source of supply to the relevant terminal unit. This is done by way of a medical gas pipeline distribution system. All medical gas installations are regulated and conform to specific standards of design and construction by the medical gases industry. Medical vacuum is also provided by means of a gas pipeline system for both medical and dental patient use. In order to control occupational exposure to waste anaesthetic gas and agents, a gas scavenging disposal system is in operation.

It is crucial to make sure that there is no possibility of a cross-connection between any medical gas system and that all the parts of each medical gas system, where connections can be made by users, are gas specific.

During the fitting stage of medical gas, comprehensive tests are carried out to establish that there is no cross-connection of the medical gases. Medical gas systems may be increased to those departments where respiratory equipment or surgical tools are serviced. These include electronic and biomedical equipment (EBME) workshops and sterile services departments (SSDs).

Medical gas piped systems should not be used to supply departments such as Pathology and general workshops or mechanical services. These departments should be provided with separate gas installations, although it is advised they are constructed to the same specification as medical gas piped systems. They should not be provided with medical gas terminal units.
