CGA Publishes M-28, Guideline for Assessment of Health Care Facility Medical Oxygen Systems

May 16, 2022

As the pandemic wanes, it is time to take stock of our learnings and evaluate whether health care facility medical gas supply system infrastructure is adequate to meet present and future needs.  This evaluation must include not only on-pad equipment, such as storage tanks, vaporizers and reserve system, but the size and layout of the health care facility’s internal piping system.

 

To facilitate this evaluation, CGA has published CGA M-28, Guideline for Assessment of Health Care Facility Medical Oxygen Systems.  CGA M-28 provides an outline for conducting an evaluation of a health care facility’s medical gas supply system and is intended to be used jointly by health care facility personnel and the medical gas supplier to identify medical gas system changes necessary to ensure medical oxygen, at the required flow and pressure, is available where and when needed. The document is available to the public without charge.
