Medical Gas System Maintenance
Medical gas systems run continuously and are affected by use and accumulated modifications. A preventive programme protects source, network and terminal performance, catches small leaks and drifting performance before they become an outage in a critical department, and leaves behind a technical record the facility team can rely on.
Scheduled maintenance scope
- Source inspection: tank, generator or cylinder manifold
- Medical air and vacuum plant inspection
- Isolation valve and AVSU review
- Alarm panel and sensor testing
- Outlet, bed head unit and connection integrity checks
- Leak detection and pressure stability monitoring
- Labelling review and record updating
- Condition report with prioritised actions
Fault response
Alongside scheduled visits we handle urgent calls: identify the affected zone, isolate it with minimum departmental impact, carry out the repair, then re-test before returning it to service.
Existing system assessment
For facilities without an up-to-date record, we carry out a full survey documenting sources, network, isolation points, outlets and technical observations, as the basis for a maintenance programme or an upgrade plan.
Deliverables
- Scheduled visit plan
- Condition report after each visit
- Fault and action log
- Replacement and upgrade recommendations
- Updated network records
Where this service applies
- Operating hospitals
- Medical centres
- Day-surgery centres
- Facilities past their warranty period
- Facilities preparing to expand

Frequently asked questions
How often should a medical gas system be maintained?
Frequency is set by facility size, departmental criticality, facility policy and the reference it works to; critical departments need closer attention than the rest.
Do you maintain a system you did not install?
Yes. We start with a documentation survey of the system's condition and build the appropriate maintenance programme on it.
Have a project or an existing facility that needs an engineering review?
Our engineering team can review your requirement and propose a solution suited to the application, the site and the applicable requirements.
