SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS
OUTPATIENT CLINIC
SFO NO. V101-183R-xxx-xxx-xx
[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
Nitrogen: 210 psi.
Medical vacuum: 15 inches Hg.
Size medical compressed air system to provide 100 psi discharge from compressor to dryers.
In sizing the vacuum system, increase the cubic feet per minute (cfm) load by 25 percent to accommodate
future system expansion. Include waste anesthetic gas disposal system terminal inlets and piping in
appropriate projects; connect to the medical vacuum system above the corridor ceiling after the valve box.
Editing Note: Include following if required for
ambulatory surgery.
//If an anesthetic and respiratory analysis system (such as SARA) is to be included in the project, and, if
so, provide two one inch conduits from each ceiling column assembly to above corridor ceiling.//
Place a source shut-off valve for each medical gas and vacuum system at the immediate outlet (or inlet, in
the case of vacuum) of the source of supply, so that the entire supply source, including all accessory
equipment, can be isolated from the entire pipeline system.
Provide sufficiently sized and properly constructed storage space for the gas cylinders with manifold
systems. Primary and reserve banks are required for cylinder gas sources.
The medical air compressors and medical vacuum pumps shall serve the medical air and medical vacuum
systems only. Air compressors shall be a type that provides "Medical Compressed Air", as defined by
NFPA 99.
Locate compressors and pumps in a clean, relatively cool environment (i.e., not with steam equipment,
not to exceed 100 degrees F ambient temperature). Locate equipment in an area where it can be
monitored regularly.
Locate the medical air compressor system intake outdoors above roof level, at least 25 feet [may be
more depending upon prevailing wind direction and velocity] from any building opening or other intake,
and where no contamination from engine exhausts, fuel storage vents, vacuum system discharges,
particulate matter or odor of any type is anticipated. Air that is already filtered for ventilation system
use is an acceptable source of air for medical air compressors. Combined intakes must be sized for no
restriction while flowing maximum intake possible, and provided with an isolation valve at the header
for each compressor served.
Combine discharge from each medical vacuum pump into one discharge pipe, sized for no restriction
while flowing maximum discharge possible, and provide an isolation valve at the header for each pump
served. Exhaust discharge at the highest point of the building, above and at least 25 feet horizontally
(may be more depending upon prevailing wind direction and velocity) from any intake, door, window,
louvered or ventilating opening of the building.
Editing Note: Delete systems/components not
necessary for project program.
6.6.7
MEDICAL GAS AND VACUUM PIPING SYSTEMS:
Design and construct pressure piping systems not to exceed 5 psi loss from source to point of use. Design
vacuum piping systems not to exceed 3 inches Hg from source to point of use.
