Attachment 6 Med Vac System - Penthouse Oil Lubricated duplex vacuum.xlsx

This is a medical vacuum system inspection and maintenance record for a Rietschle Duplex Medical Vacuum system installed at the VA Medical Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. The inspection was conducted on May 29, 2026, by technician Rgarmon on a CHBD-341-243 model system (Serial #3000496097) located in the penthouse on the 8th floor. The duplex system operates two CLFH/EH341 pumps with run hours of 80,809 and 80,922 respectively, maintaining discharge temperatures of 139°F and 141°F with room temperature at 78°F. Most system components including exhaust drip legs, filters, high-temperature shutdown coupling, motor greasing, starter contacts, transformer, panel relays, and lamps were rated as acceptable. The motors operate at 230 volts, 40 full-load amps, 15 horsepower, 1,165 RPM, with 90.20% efficiency and 1.15 service factor.

The inspection identified that both pumps require oil changes and cooling system flushing due to high operating hours, with five units of OEM synthetic oil (Part #R590) from customer stock to be used for this maintenance. The recommendations include maintaining the current preventive maintenance frequency and replacing exhaust and intake filters on both pumps, with the customer confirming availability of replacement parts. No deficiencies were noted in the final assessment. This inspection record directly supports the related federal contract opportunity (36C24426Q0958) for medical gas preventative maintenance and inspection services at the Erie VA Medical Center, a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside with quotes due by September 25, 2026.
