Medical Gas Systems

Daily, in hospitals throughout our country and increasingly throughout the world, hospital patients depend on the assistance of various hospital plumbing systems for their recovery from illnesses.

Warwick Plumbing & Heating professionals understand current industry trends toward more stringent certification and testing requirements as well as the fundamentals of medical gas distribution. Medical gas installations have effectively placed hospital plumbing professionals directly into the loop of patient care.

All gas delivery systems still depend on the capabilities of the people involved with these systems throughout their life cycle, the establishment of proper codes, standards, and procedures. Warwick Plumbing & Heating has become fully educated in how each of these systems affects the total patient care. Designing, installing and preparing for use to deliver the medical gases with the utmost care and dedication is essential. When concluded, the system is fully operational and ready for patients.

The centrally piped medical gas system is one of the newer types of hospital plumbing systems to be introduced into the delivery of direct patient care. Gas piping is needed for oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, vacuum, and anesthesia waste exhaust. The piping is designed and installed under current National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA 99) regulations. All systems are maintained oxygen clean and then purged with nitrogen prior to close. Certifications are granted by independent, third party inspectors.

National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA 99) regulations and standards are strongly adhered to by Warwick Plumbing & Heating. In fact, all medical gas workers must complete a thirty-two (32) hour certification course.

With expertise and experience in piping, hookups of controls and instrumentations, including the master alarm and area alarms, each service is performed with the utmost care and dedication because of the potentially fatal consequences to the patients if installation is substandard.
