Leading reticulated gas specialists Hoslab, have come clean with their thoughts on the problems that healthcare facilities face if they fail to correctly maintain life support gas systems. These systems are an essential service within all medical facilities. Hoslab believe that on-going maintenance of essential medical gas systems is a critical factor in ensuring that healthcare environments remain safe, reliable and cost effective.

Hoslab are experts in the Maintenance of Medical Gas Systems and provide fully accredited maintenance programs. They have the distinct advantage of also designing, building and installing complete systems too. Shelley Watson, Director and Technical Manager commented, “We are acknowledged experts in this field, having been at the pinnacle for over twenty years, and most would say that we are ‘the’ gas reticulated engineering business in Australia. This gives us a unique insight into how systems all over the country are being maintained because we have had involvement with many of them. Standards are generally high which is a comforting thought, but in our view it must always remain at the top of everyone’s agenda”
So what are the issues? Well the number one is always safety. A planned maintenance approach carried out by Hoslab allows organisations to be reassured that risk is minimized and the correct standards of compliance for levels of purity, energy efficiency and longevity of equipment are being met. Secondly, it’s cost. Both consumables and permanent equipment face damage when maintenance isn’t carried out, which ends up increasing the levels of spend on replacement items, sometimes to excessive levels.
Many of those involved would strongly agree with Hoslab’s final thought that the best approach, whatever the medical environment, is to ensure that there is a comprehensive preventative maintenance program in place to identify and avoid any problems before they arise.
