Importance of Design & Standards in MGPS
The design and installation of a Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) directly affect its performance and safety. Therefore, it is crucial that these processes meet the highest quality standards.
Responsibility for a complete system includes design, installation, operational guidance, and verification, which may be managed by a single agency or multiple specialized teams.
Globally, most countries follow ISO 7396 for MGPS and anaesthesia scavenging systems. Other widely accepted standards include HTM 2022 and NFPA 99.
For instance, NFPA 99 (Sec. 4-3.1.9.1) requires that medical air compressors must not introduce oil, water, or contaminants into the pipeline. Using non-medical-grade compressors can lead to serious risks, including the mixing of toxic substances into the medical air supply.
Water is the most common and damaging contaminant in medical air lines. It can bypass filters and enter anaesthesia machines, ventilators, and even reach the patient. Moisture promotes bacterial growth, corrodes copper pipelines, and in low temperatures, can freeze and block airflow. These issues not only compromise patient safety but also damage costly equipment. Importantly, not all air compressors are suitable for medical use—non-medical-grade units may introduce oil and hydrocarbons, which is why proper filtration and hydrocarbon monitoring are essential in any medical gas system.
