MEDICAL GAS NOTES.
A. Each patient is provided with the number of outlet(s) listed.
Each patient is provided medical vacuum inlet(s). See individual listing.
Each patient is provided access to a medical air outlet. Where two patients share a common wall, they may share a single
outlet, excluding behavioral health patients. Do not provide in pediatric play area.
B. The medical gases specified must be per patient station, workstation, etc.
C. Coordinate with the Using Agency for location of outlets/inlets.
D. All anesthetizing locations must have a WAGD system. Use of medical vacuum system is not recommended for
evacuation in DoD facilities. DSV may be used in DTRs for anesthesia scavenging where a central system is installed.
E. One each O, MA, and MV is required at the headwall unit and the infant resuscitation area of the birthing room.
F. {not used}
G. The medical gases specified must be per bassinet or infant station.
H. The medical gases specified must be per 4 bassinets or infant stations. Where the LDR birthing room concept is used, a
minimum of one grouping must be provided in each LDR.
I. For equipment testing and calibration, equipment must be tested with the specific gas used in normal operation.
J. Provide valve regulator station for PA.
K. Each DTR chair and 12 o’clock column as called out in the PRC, i.e. utility center, requires 1 DA and 1 OE. If the PCRC
does not include 12 o’clock column(s) in a specific room, provide 1 DA and 1 OE for each DTR chair.
L. A natural gas outlet (mounted under counter) and a LA outlet (mounted under counter) must be provided at each dental
work station as shown in Appendix B.
M. All contingency beds require 1 O, 1 MV, and 1 MA per bed station. In bed expansion situations in “peace time” facilities
also provide 1 O, 1 MV, and 1 MA per contingency bed expansion requirements noted in the PFD.
