Reasons and 
Threats of A 
Faulty Medical 
Gas 
Verification
While conducting research for this blog 
we came across an NCBI 2018 article that 
stresses the importance of ensuring the 
safety of a medical gas pipeline system 
across every health institute and hospital 
due to its diverse applications. Quite 
often, we tend to systematize and 
automate these systems for their 
operation and upkeep. However, there 
are certain processes that require 
scrutinous cleaning procedures. Improper 
medical gas verification can lead to some 
serious damage while jeopardizing the 
lives of the patients and posing medically 
dangerous risks.
Issues Posed by A Faulty 
Medical Gas Verification
Certain professionals or medical facility supervisors tend to let in latent practices 
that can act as a catalyst for future potential calamity. These mechanical/ work-
practice failures can eventually lead to life-threatening situations. These failures 
can include poor design systems, operating systems, maintenance procedures, 
poor communication between engineers/ verifiers, substandard installation/ 
maintenance procedures of the relevant plumbing systems, and many more. 
Below we will be talking about some serious threats and highlight their reasons. In 
case you find yourself doing any of those, you will know what not to do.
CAD Over-Reliability
Technology and automation have indeed 
taken over our lives. Interestingly, this mode 
of convenience can be a reason to take our 
lives as well. Overdependence and lack of 
skill/ unaware design decisions can give rise to 
major gas supply/ plumbing problems such as 
clogged suction system due to dried 
accumulations of gas along a patient’s gas 
line. A well-balanced mix of a manual and 
automated system for quality control is an 
ideal way to ensure the proper functioning of 
both technical and procedural systems.
Miscommunication an 
Malpractices of Professionals
Certain professionals suffer from “hurry up syndrome” that causes them to 
rush through their work leading to compromised quality and systems. This 
practice overlooks the error management technique. For instance, some 
plumbers may shut down every pipeline simultaneously during a multi-gas 
tie-in shutdown. These situations require lines to be closed down one by one. 
Continuing from here, if another professional isn’t informed of the lines, he 
may have no clue as to which goes where. This can also lead to attaching 
misidentified lines and crossing them that eventually leads to life-threatening 
situations.
Uncertified/ Inexperienced 
Service Providers
Medical gas verification service providers without any prior training pose 
more danger than a faulty gas pipeline. They have no understanding of the 
redundancies of different systems nor have the skill to be aware of them. 
They fail to take proper measures that can solve the issues from the root. For 
instance, in case you have hire professionals for the renovation of multiple 
live zone valves, as a standard measure, the professionals need to cut off the 
supply and disconnect the lines. Direct placement of a fresh line without 
cutting off the supply can lead to a major accidental gas leak. Also, smart 
software often conditions systems to run smoothly even with anomalies. 
Identification and assessment of them require an experts’ eye.
