Periodic InspectionsExisting medical gas system performance testing: 1. Each medical gas outlet within the facility is tested for flow capability. 2. All area alarm panels are simulated and adjusted where possible. 3. All medical gas sources of supply are inspected and master alarm conditions simulated to ensure proper function. 4. Zonal pressure testing is applied to the medical gas systems to determine the condition of the piping seal. 5. Particulate filter testing is performed upon each system to determine contamination levels.
