About this file
This document is a maintenance specification attachment for a medical gas alarm system used in hospital settings. The attachment outlines a tiered maintenance schedule with specific tasks and frequencies to ensure proper system operation and safety compliance.
Daily maintenance requires activation of all audible and visual alarm signals using the test indicator, replacement of defective alarm modules as needed, and inspection of all piping and wiring connections with tightening as required. Monthly maintenance focuses on emergency shut-off valves, requiring contractors to check valves and pressure gages for external leakage using bubble test solution or oxygen-safe detection methods, repair or replace defective valves, and verify valve operation through rapid closing and reopening cycles while minimizing service disruption. Semi-annual maintenance of end-user connections is the most comprehensive, requiring inspection of all outlets scheduled to avoid interrupting hospital operations, with notification to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for outlets that cannot be inspected during scheduled maintenance. Additional semi-annual tasks include cleaning exposed parts with water or hospital disinfectants (prohibiting oils and greases), testing outlet operation with appropriate adapters, repairing any binding or malfunction, checking for audible leakage, verifying oxygen and medical air pressure at each connection within normal operating ranges, and measuring free airflow into vacuum inlet terminals while checking vacuum levels for deviations from normal operating parameters.

ATTACHMENT “D” MAINTENANCE FOR MEDICAL GAS ALARM SYSTEM
Daily:
• Activate all audible and visual signals on the medical gas alarms using the test indicator.
Replace defective alarm modules, as required. Inspect all piping and wiring connections and tighten, as required.
Monthly:
• Emergency Shut-Off Valves:
• Check shut-off valve and pressure gages for external leakage by bubble test solution or other affective means of detection safe for use with oxygen. Repair or replace defective valves, as required. Verify operation of valves by closing and reopening rapidly to avoid disruption of service to the end-use connections.
Semi-Annually:
• End-User Connections:
• Perform semi-annual inspection of all end-user connections. Schedule inspections and testing of end-user connections to avoid interruption of service to hospital activities. The Contractor shall notify the COR of any outlets that cannot be inspected at the time of the scheduled maintenance. The COR shall reschedule the inspection of the outlets for a time approved by the clinical staff.
• Clean all exposed parts. Clean faceplates and other exposed areas with a cloth dampened with water and/or common on hospital disinfectants. Do not use oil or grease on or near outlets.
• Use appropriate adapters to check for proper operation of outlets. Repair quick-disconnect outlet stations if binding, looseness, or other malfunction is detected.
• Check for audible leakage around the outlets without the adapter and repair, as required.
• Check oxygen and medical air pressures at each connection. Investigate and repair any variation in pressure from the normal operating ranges.
• Measure the free airflow into each vacuum inlet terminal while simultaneously checking the vacuum level. Investigate and repair any variation in vacuum pressure and flow from the normal operating range.
