Medical Gas Maintenance

ICC uses Medical Gas Systems Instructors certified to ASSE 6050, nationally accredited to lead each of the following courses which are scheduled as requested with pricing based on class size and location.

Please contact us for available dates and pricing based on your specific needs.

These courses address the NFPA 99 requirements highlighted here:

5.1.14.4.2.5
(A) “Persons maintaining these [Medical Gas and Vacuum] systems shall be qualified to perform these [maintenance] operations.”
(B) “Appropriate qualification shall be demonstrated by any of the following:
      (1) A documented training program acceptable to the health care facility by which such persons are employed or contracted to work with specific equipment as installed in that facility.
      (2) Credentialing to the requirements of ASSE 6040, Professional Qualification Standard for Medical Gas Maintenance Personnel, and technically competent on the specific equipment as installed in the facility.”

According to the Joint Commission:

The Joint Commission standards do not specify the type of training or certifications that staff are required to have for maintenance of medical gas systems. If there is a local or state authority that addresses the issue, then compliance with that authority is required…Staff competency may be evaluated at any point during the survey, but may be primarily occur during review of utility systems and their maintenance records. If issues are found [in] the maintenance of the medical gas system, the surveyor may discuss staff training and competency and the organization should be prepared to defend their strategy.
