Abstract

During commissioning of the medical gas system of a new hospital, fourteen connection defects were found; six of these were potentially lethal cross-connections. A major contaminant was also detected throughout the medical gas system. The methods of testing a new medical gas system described in this report highlight the need for up-grading of existing standards.
