Reasons and Threats of A Faulty Medical Gas Verification
                     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 and 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 
whic h goes where. This can also lead to attac hing 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 
acci dental gas leak. Also, smart software often  conditions systems to run smoothly even with 
anomalies. Identification and assessment of them require an experts’ eye.
