Master alarm testing will be performed where available and where the facility staff and configuration allow it. As per the TJC requirement BA&C will functionally test all pressure switches, lag alarms, dew point, and co alarms, and related manifold / bulk gas alarms. Pressure switches will be tested with an BA&C Master Alarm Testing Device (pictured above). Alarm set points will be adjusted where possible and where needed. Master alarm will be checked and/or tested for all audible and visual signals. BA&C will not disrupt the gas supply in any way during the testing.
Manifolds will be tested for proper alarm functions, bank switchover capability and alternating sequence (if available), correct gauge indication (not calibration), gas leakage, and relief valve operation. Written reports will reflect location, correct manifold operation, and labeling.
Source equipment systems will be checked for code compliance as per NFPA 99, proper suction or pressure delivery, automatic and/or manual alternation, proper voltage, proper amperage draw, oil levels, filter conditions, and unit hours. All valves, intakes / exhausts lines, and pressure switches shall be checked for leakage and proper operation where available.
Broward A&C Medical Supply, Inc. produces a comprehensive report with deficiencies and recommended corrections in a timely manner. We can review the report with you and/or staff to ensure you stay in compliance.
