Dental Records

Timeline of a "Semi-Sadist"

Birth to Age 9:

Orin was born in upstate New York to Alan Scrivello and Dorothy Byrne. From the beginning his parents' relationship was a tumultuous one with his father being abusive to both his mother and Orin himself. Around 9 was when Orin's sadistic tendencies started to manifest, likely as a means of acting out in response to his trauma. This along with undeniable bruises was what finally made his mother decide to finally leave Alan, taking her son with her.

Age 9 to 14:

Now living exclusively with his mother, Orin remembers these as some of the best years of his life. However, his sadistic tendencies didn't fully go away, and his mother did her best to focus this particular energy into more "productive activities". This worked relatively well, though Orin continued to be a rebellious and unevenly tempered child.

Orin performed well in school but upon entering high school started to experiment with drugs, though nothing super serious. Mostly just smoking pot under the bleachers and such. Unknown to him his mother was sick, hiding her illness from her son in hopes of avoiding setting off anymore...unusual trauma responses in him or disrupting what she assumed was a tenuous grip on academic success.

Age 15:

Despite her best efforts, Dorothy's illness progressed to the point that she could no longer hide it from Orin, and as she deteriorated he became her primary caregiver. Later that year she died, and Orin was made to go back to living with his father.

Age 15-17:

Now back with his father, the abuse starts up again, though it leans more toward verbal and emotional now that Orin is old enough /big enough to fight back when his father tries anything. Early on in this arrangement Orin begins to self harm, turning his focus inward and on hurting himself, but it doesn't take long for him to fall back hard into his sadistic habits, wires crossing now with puberty. His drug use becomes less casual and more as a means of self medicating away the stress of his home life.

While his grades suffer during this time, he did manage to keep them high enough to get into college.

Age 18:

He kept his college acceptance from his father until one day his father found it in his room and confronted him about it. The confrontation became physical as his father tried to forbid Orin from moving away from home to pursue further education. The altercation resulted in Orin being badly injured and his father knocked unconscious. Orin quickly packed up what he could and left home for good. Going to the hospital for his injuries and getting a prescription for pain meds, which he very quickly realized got him high. A feeling he was particularly fond of as he tried not to think about how much damage he had left behind.

Age 18-25:

During this time Orin got his degree and decided to become a dentist. He began a series of failed relationships. There were a number of causes, just falling out of interest with each other, them not putting up with Orin's "reckless sexual habits", or Orin doing some active self-sabotage. He leaned more on his addictions, especially as he became more aware of the ways he acted a lot like his father when it came to how he treated his romantic partners. Eventually he settled in New York City, opening up a dental practice, still relying heavily on pain meds and nitrous oxide to deal with his internal turmoil rather than finding healthy outlets for his aggression and sadism.

Age 25-Present (Early 30s)

Orin finally got into his first truly long term relationship with Audrey. The fact that she hasn't broken up with him being a big part of why its lasted. Orin makes no real attempts to deal with his trauma, preferring instead to indulge in things that don't require him to think about the person he's grown into. And well, he's also maybe fried his brain a bit.

Significance of Medical Gas Alarms and Zone Valve Box Placement

Medical gas alarms and zone valve boxes are essential components in any healthcare facility that uses medical gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide. These gases are critical to patient care, but they can also pose serious safety risks if not properly monitored and controlled.

Medical gas alarms are designed to alert healthcare staff to potential leaks or other issues with the gas delivery system. These alarms can detect low oxygen levels, high levels of other gases, and pressure drops in the system. They provide an audible and visual warning to staff, allowing them to take action quickly to address the problem.

Zone valve boxes are another important component in medical gas systems. They are used to control the flow of gases to specific areas of the facility, such as operating rooms, patient rooms, and laboratories. Each zone valve box is connected to a specific area and can be closed off in the event of a leak or other issue. This helps to contain any potential hazards and prevent them from spreading throughout the facility.

Pattons Medical is committed to providing the best medical and laboratory gas solutions in the market. Our products meet and exceed NFPA 99 and CSA Standards and are UL approved.

VALVES

Source valves are required at the source equipment to isolate the system from the rest of the hospital. Mainline valves are required on the top line if the source equipment is located outside the facility. This would be placed on the line as it immediately enters the building. Riser valves are required on the riser adjacent to the main line in service, or floor valves are required off the branch of the riser.

ZONE VALVE BOXES

A zone valve is a shutoff valve for the zone or area it serves, with its fundamental purpose being fire control. All medical gas outlets must be covered by a zone valve box on the same floor they serve. A zone valve box should not be located in a room with the outlet it controls, and a wall should intervene between the zone valve box and the outlets it controls. 

ALARMS

There are three types of medical gas alarms: a local alarm, a master alarm panel (MAP), and an area alarm panel (AAP).

LOCAL ALARMS

Local alarms are local to the source equipment. On the left of the control panel, there is a typical HMI System Health panel that’s on the control panel for all our air and vac systems. On the right of the typical panel for our manifolds, provide an audible and visual alarm.

MASTER ALARMS

Master alarms only monitor the source equipment. The wires run parallel from each of the source equipment, control panels, and mainline switches back to two primary MAPs for a category one facility. If a facility would like a third master alarm panel, it is doable and can be slaved off of one of the primary master alarm panels, but the two primaries need to run in parallel. 

AREA ALARMS

An area alarm monitors the pressure or vacuum in the area of the zone it serves. For pressure, it will alarm 20% high or low from the main pressure. For vacuum, it will alarm at low vacuum level of 12 inches of mercury. These should be located in the area of the person responsible. For example, a narcs station, they will need to be labeled for the area served and sensors should be located to permit access for testing.

SENSORS

Regardless of where the sensor is placed to monitor the pressure or vacuum, where are they physically located? They can be located in the alarm panel itself, which would be considered local. Or, they can be placed on the ceiling and the pipe, which would be considered remote. We can place them in the zone valve box and wire them back to the panel, which also can be called sensor provision.

COMBO ALARMS

Something that has come out recently is called a zone valve box and area alarm panel combo (ZVB/AAP combo). Not only are the sensors in the zone valve box, but there are also alarm panels outside on the zone valve box as well. This has a very unique fit for an extremely small facility that might not have a nurses’ station.

A brief insight into the use and repair of anesthesia machines

Healthcare facilities require a magnitude of biomedical supplies to function in a proper manner. Investing in branded anesthesia machines is imperative for all hospitals. Anesthesia machines are widely used apparatuses that are meant to deliver general anesthesia to patients while they are undergoing a medical procedure, ideally a surgery. Anesthesia for sale can be of multiple types, but most hospitals do prefer to use continuous-flow anesthetic machine. The majority of anesthesia machines tend to include monitors and touch-screen displays that provide valuable data about oxygen saturation level and oxygen. An anesthesia machine generally receives medical gases like nitrous oxide, oxygen, and air under pressure. It also has a system in place to accurately control the flow of each gas in an individual manner. Vapor and gas mixtures are delivered continuously to the common gas outlet of the machine. In case anesthesia machines at a hospital malfunction in any manner, it should get repaired as soon as possible. There are many service providers today who specialize in anesthesia and Telemetry repair. They are also equipped with Plastic Housing components and important parts needed to seamlessly conduct repairs on branded biomedical equipment.

WARNING: WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT AUTOREFRACTOR RIGHT NOW

When

autorefractors

first appeared in the early 1970s, they struggled to achieve true refraction due to test adaptability, accuracy, and overall speed issues. Today, manufacturers are addressing each of these issues as the rate of self-refraction increases and the results achieved with automatic crushing are closer than ever. Manufacturers share the goal of autorefractive factors to be a good alternative to autonomous methods, but that is very unlikely. "Of course, manufacturers strive to bring their self-breakers as close to the final Rx as possible. There is probably no time for autonomic refraction to replace the actual refraction performed by doctors. Everyone is trying to make it faster, get faster, or make the printer faster. They are all so good right now those manufacturers are working on more modest benefits such as speed and ease of use. WHAT IS AUTO REFRACTOR? An automatic refractor or automatic refraction is a numerically controlled device used to provide objective measurements of refractive error, visual impairment, and eyeglasses or contact lenses during an eye examination. This method is performed by analyzing changes in the path of the ray as it enters the eye. Antonio Medina Puerta has patented the idea of ​​a modern robotic refracting telescope. HOW DOES AUTOMATIC REFRACTION WORK? Auto-refraction displays the image in the eye. Next, the infrared rays from the image pass through the autorefractive lens and hit the retina. A small amount of light is reflected by the retina and eyes and passes through the lens. Defects in the eyepiece distort the reflected image and blur it. The automatic index of refraction detects these defects/deficiencies. The tool then uses the target and software to correct the returned image so that no defects remain. This operation is performed three times, and the automatic refraction program provides a prescription for vision correction lenses. Autorefracting telescopes are used to measure coaxial, spherical, and cylindrical lens components. TYPES OF AUTO-REFRACTORS Portable automatic refracting telescope: The portable robot refracting telescope is specially designed to facilitate eye treatment for those who cannot go to the ophthalmologist's office. This tool allowed optometrists to screen at-risk people, screen children, and provide medical care in remote areas and disaster areas. This makes lens correction more efficient and easier to access. A portable robot refracting telescope is a type of portable robot refracting telescope that includes a single handheld device used to determine the correct size of the lens. The device is held at eye level at a distance of 5 cm from the patient, and the patient is asked to focus on the image displayed by the device. These automatic breakers are easy to use and easy to move. Desktop automatic refractors: The robot table breaker can be seen in the ophthalmologist's office. The patient places his forehead close to the device, and the infrared rays from the device are directed into the patient's eyes. The machine then picks up the bouncing rays. These devices are generally more accurate in measuring spherical, cylindrical, and axial components. WHAT IS THE USE OF AUTOMATIC REFRACTION? An ophthalmologist or optometrist uses a robotic refracting telescope to perform a self-refraction test. This tool calculates the parameters of vision correction for a patient's lens. The device operates on the principle of refraction and reflection and calculates the shape and size of the retinal ring. HOW TO USE AUTOMATIC REFRACTION? Procedures for using a desktop refractometer:

The patient must adjust each chin and forehead to the chin and forehead.

The remaining height should be adjusted according to the needs of the patient.

Next, the patient needs to focus on the image projected on the robot refracting telescope.

Focus metering should be done individually for each eye, adjusting the sensor level so that the eyes are clearly visible on the screen.

The results of automatic eye refraction can be printed after repeating the same process three times.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN A AUTO REFRACTOR DETECT? Self-refraction detects a so-called refractive error (the cause of blurred vision). These are very common conditions and include: Myopia (myopia) It's hard to see things from a distance, but you can see things up close. This happens when the shape of the eye is too long, and the light is in focus before it reaches the retina, blurring the field of vision. Hyperopia (hyperopia) People with long eyesight find it difficult to see things up close, but their eyesight in the distance is clear. This may be due to short eyes, too flat cornea, or problems with the ability of the eye lenses to focus. astigmatism People with astigmatism have an irregular shape of the cornea. This means that the light that enters the eye is concentrated in multiple parts of the retina, causing visual impairment. CAN THE AUTOMATIC REFRACTING TELESCOPE DETECT ASTIGMATISM? Optometrists use three tools to detect and measure astigmatism. (1)

Keratometer

: A keratometer or topography machine is used to measure the reflection of a ring of light on the outer dome of the eye, which consists of the iris, cornea, pupil, and lens. This tells us about the level of curvature of the cornea in different directions. (2) Automatic refracting telescope: The automatic refractor calculates the level of contrast in the path of light after it is reflected by the retina. (3) Poroptera: The phoropter is an instrument with a variety of lenses. Patients are asked to try different lenses to determine exactly which corrective lens is best for them. IS RETINOSCOPY BETTER THAN SELF-SEPARATION FOR EYE EXAMINATION? Retinoscopy is an objective method of measuring refractive error in a lens. This technique is usually performed by an experienced optometrist. It provides more accurate results than an automatic breaker. From time to time, robotic refracting telescopes mistakenly estimate impaired eye function. Therefore, the result of automatic refraction is re-evaluated three times. Retinoscopy techniques require a lot of practice and cannot be practiced anywhere. HOW DOES THE AUTOREFRACTOR HELP THE DOCTOR Information from autorefractive factors gives ophthalmologists and optometrists a good idea of ​​your visual needs. Graphed through various lenses when they ask you to look, they sharpen their understanding of the quality of your eyesight. But auto-refraction gave them a good idea of ​​how strong the lens should be. WHO NEEDS TO INSPECT REFRACTION? Refraction testing is an integral part of eye testing, and each person should be tested regularly to ensure that they are clearly visible and that eyeglasses and contact lenses work. If you notice any changes in your eyesight, we recommend that you take a vision test every two years or earlier. Autorefractors are used by people who may have difficulty concentrating on long tests or who have difficulty clearly explaining vision problems (such as infants, people with dementia, or people with intellectual disabilities). It makes very fast and accurate measurements and requires vision correction with minimal input. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHILE USING AUTOREFRACTORS

Be sure to unlock the lock before connecting the device to a power outlet.

Check the device's voltage panel before connecting the device to a power outlet.

The device must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a protective ground terminal. Do not disable or remove the ground pin.

The device is best placed in a cool, dry, dust-free environment.

Do not place the device in a location where direct sunlight or bright light may enter the patient's window. This can affect the tool alignment system.

Place the device on a flat, vibration-free surface to ensure optimum operation.

Make sure the patient's window is clean-use a cleaning cloth or lens cloth to clean the window.

Do not use alcohol or other cleaning agents to clean covers, patient windows, or screens. The coating can be damaged.

There are no user-repairable parts inside.

Please leave the maintenance to a qualified person.

THE FUTURE OF AUTO-REFRACTION In the future, autorefractor devices can use the information provided by the brain to provide advanced technology for providing refraction to patients. Because we know that the image is in focus, there have been attempts in the past to use the visual evoked potentials, the EEG signals behind the brain and in the occipital cortex. It will objectively automate automatic refraction. These attempts were merely experimental studies and were never developed. After all, perhaps 20 or 30 years from now, it will probably be possible. Autorefraction has a long way to go, but it's more important than ever as managed care companies are putting pressure on optometrists to speed up their schedules. Don't be afraid to take these measurements and make them part of your daily work. Obviously, managed care is encouraging us to be more efficient. This is a tool. All offices are required. Multi-function tool Some automatic refractometers perform other tasks in addition to prescribing. An additional feature allows the autorefractor to double as a corneal meter to evaluate the shape of the cornea. Doctors need this information to determine if a patient has corneal problems or astigmatism. Keratometer data also helps doctors find out what works for patients in need of contact lenses. With the development of technology, automatic refracting telescopes are becoming more and more portable. One of the latest innovations is auto-refraction connected to smartphones. With this device, you don't need to have a chin strap or other support infrastructure to complete the evaluation. Improved portability means that patients in more parts of the world have the option to test their vision. new automatic refraction enhancements In recent years, there have been some additional variations in the manufacture of TR breakers. One of these differences is the promoter. This is an improved form of self-refraction that allows you to examine the refraction of light from multiple locations in the eye. Another improvement for automatic refractors is the incorporation of other eye examination features. Some tools combine autorefraction, wave level analyzers, and corneal topography measurements to provide a compact device and space savings in the optometrist's office. These tools also help you create fast and efficient scans. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC REFRACTION An automatic refractometer helps measure the refraction of the eye during an eye examination. It is controlled by a computer, and visual activity can be closely monitored using this process. This device has always been favored by ophthalmologists and has been in use since the early 1970s. You can easily record the difference in eye activity when the light is in focus on the eye. When a refractive error is identified, the doctor will prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to the patient. The overall process of spontaneous refraction is quick, painless, and simple. The patient's chin should be rested so that the refraction can be easily measured. The patient needs to focus on a specific image in the device. The image is constantly moving, helping the robotic refracting telescope record changes in the retina. The device records a variety of measurements and provides an average so that doctors can make prescriptions. It's not a long process at all; it can record accurate measurements in seconds. You can print your prescription by reading it or sharing it on your system. When the scan is done, the patient is given a variety of pictures, and tests are done to see if they are clearly blurred. Patients can try different lenses to determine the prescription strength in more detail. This turned out to be a difficult process for people with intellectual disabilities and toddlers. However, all automatic refraction depends on the refraction of light, which greatly simplifies this process. One of the main advantages of using such a device is that it does not require mydriasis. For young children, the process is not easy because they can no longer bear it. That's why scientists are releasing new inventions to make it easier. The mobile device developed has greatly simplified the entire process. With the advent of autorefractors, eye examinations have become much easier. Those who cannot go to the doctor's room can have their first examination with this device. Apart from this device, an airflow meter is another device that can measure refraction from various perspectives. These devices can significantly speed up the eye examination procedure and help provide accurate results. Ophthalmologists and patients make great use of this advanced device.

Today was a bad day for the local terror cells on Jackpine.

There was more that happened at the Walmart than I reported yesterday.

The local terror cells brought the guillotine that I report about sometimes, it gets set up in the store entry at Walmart, Fred Meyer, Bi-Mart and other places, looks like those theft deterant frames that you have to walk through and will sound an alarm if it detects stolen merchandise. The guillotine, as I have explained many times, is electric powered, plugs into the wall outlet, seems to be a hydrolic or pnuematic RAM that drives the blade, cuts vertically as people walk through, and is motion sensor activated. Last night it was arranged in the exit as I was leaving the Walmart.

There was a woman in front of me who stopped there, she was a terror soldier, and was releasing nitrous gas as I approached behind her, her nitrous tank ignited and she burst, her intestines came out of her belly and into the shopping cart she was pushing, then she went through the guillotine, and was cut.

I think that woman was the replacement terror soldier who took over at the Steve and Lindsey Bell terror cell at 445 Jackpine. There has been some new people there driving the Bell’s cars, but they don’t show themselves.

Two men approached me as I stepped toward the guillotine, then turned around. They were ready to catch me and put me into a shopping cart. I fought both of them, but my memory is clouded with all of that nitrous gas.

I think the two men were Rick Manning and Burton Mitchell Deitrick, but I am usually wrong about the identity of the assassins I fight.

Both men are presumed to be dead.

Today, the Chartrand terror cell was especially aggressive, and that suggests that it was Dietrick and Manning last night.

There was a lot of aircraft activity today too, not small aircraft, but bigger, Erickson Air Crane hovering over my house in the morning, and there were two SAG Club Med Junket Jets that flew over the house low also.

Today, there were no “Sharks” when I went out for a walk, with exception of Chartrand one time. Everyday, for many years, when I take a walk to the road, one or more terror soldiers drives past my driveway just at the time I reach my gate, or, as I reach the road. Usually there are three in succession. They watch and wait for me to come outside from the Strong terror cell at 3747 Russell Road. They do that for a number of reasons, one is to frighten me, another is to make sure I know they are watching everything I do all of the time, and another is for an opportunity to run me over as I check my mail.

It’s been like that for more than ten years, almost every time I go outside for a walk, and certainly every day at least once the “Sharks” role by, circling.

Dietrick uses a big dump truck, and a big pick-up truck, and a Kenworth Big Rig for the oportunity to run me over. Manning drives about fifty miles an hour on the ten MPH gravel road when he does Shark Maneuver. All of the terror cells on Jackpine participate, and all of the residences are terror cells.

No Sharks today!

I thing Manning and Dietrick are dead, that leaves their wives, Susana, and Cynthia to do the Shark, everyone participates in Shark Maneuver Driveby.

I don’t know who is at Chartrand’s. I have not seen any of the Chartrands in months, but someone is there, at 376.  Presumably the Chartrands were killed while attacking me in my home, Sterling Chartrand may still be there. Someone intrudes into my home at least once per week, last few days have been no exception, there were more than I can count.

I walked through that guillotine last night, it always freaks out the terrorists at the Walmart when I do that.

End terror report: 8:39 pm.

OVERVIEW OF MEDICAL GAS ALARMS AND ZONE VALVE BOX PLACEMENT

Pattons Medical Manufactures>OVERVIEW OF MEDICAL GAS ALARMS AND ZONE VALVE BOX PLACEMENT

Medical gas alarms and zone valve boxes are essential components in any healthcare facility that uses medical gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide. These gases are critical to patient care, but they can also pose serious safety risks if not properly monitored and controlled.

Medical gas alarms are designed to alert healthcare staff to potential leaks or other issues with the gas delivery system. These alarms can detect low oxygen levels, high levels of other gases, and pressure drops in the system. They provide an audible and visual warning to staff, allowing them to take action quickly to address the problem.

Zone valve boxes are another important component in medical gas systems. They are used to control the flow of gases to specific areas of the facility, such as operating rooms, patient rooms, and laboratories. Each zone valve box is connected to a specific area and can be closed off in the event of a leak or other issue. This helps to contain any potential hazards and prevent them from spreading throughout the facility.

Pattons Medical is committed to providing the best medical and laboratory gas solutions in the market. Our products meet and exceed NFPA 99 and CSA Standards and are UL approved.

Arrangement of Pipeline Components

VALVES

Source valves are required at the source equipment to isolate the system from the rest of the hospital. Mainline valves are required on the top line if the source equipment is located outside the facility. This would be placed on the line as it immediately enters the building. Riser valves are required on the riser adjacent to the main line in service, or floor valves are required off the branch of the riser.

ZONE VALVE BOXES

A zone valve is a shutoff valve for the zone or area it serves, with its fundamental purpose being fire control. All medical gas outlets must be covered by a zone valve box on the same floor they serve. A zone valve box should not be located in a room with the outlet it controls, and a wall should intervene between the zone valve box and the outlets it controls. If you’re standing at a zone valve box, you should not have an outlet it controls in your line of sight. It needs to be available to the floor staff. A removable cover must be visible and accessible at all times and readily operable in a standing position. For that reason, the code states that it should not be hidden behind an open door or in a closed locked room area.

A zone valve box should be placed in a logical exit corridor. If there is a fire, the staff should be able to turn the valve off on their way out of the building. The placement will need proper wall space because it will include the zone valve box and the piping associated with pipe in and out from it. Pattons Medical can help your properly calculate the wall space needed and where it would be a good place to put a zone valve box.

A zone valve box needs to be labeled to include which area it serves. They should be piped left to right, and they cannot be placed in series. You should never have a zone valve box downstream of another zone valve box. Any critical car or live support anesthetizing location needs its own zone valve. That being said, an ICU may have one shared zone valve box that has to do with classifying the ICU area has a single occupancy. They have a dedicated nursing staff and nurse’s station, all of the patients are receiving a similar level of care. Patient room areas should be broken up with what makes the most sense to your facility’s layout. The code does not dictate how many rooms can fall under one zone valve box.

Pattons Medical zone valve boxes can be figured to hold up anywhere from one to seven zone valve boxes, which includes the tube extensions. They consist of a pullout, removable, opaque window and have larger color-coded ID labels. Adjustable steel brackets are provided for mounting and two-inch single-zone valves are available in a four-inch depth box.

ALARMS

There are three types of medical gas alarms: a local alarm, a master alarm panel (MAP), and an area alarm panel (AAP).

LOCAL ALARMS

Local alarms are local to the source equipment. On the left of the control panel, there is a typical HMI System Health panel that’s on the control panel for all our air and vac systems. On the right of the typical panel for our manifolds, provide an audible and visual alarm.

MASTER ALARMS

Master alarms only monitor the source equipment. The wires run parallel from each of the source equipment, control panels, and mainline switches back to two primary MAPs for a category one facility. If a facility would like a third master alarm panel, it is doable and can be slaved off of one of the primary master alarm panels, but the two primaries need to run in parallel. One needs to sit in the office of the person who is responsible for the medical gas equipment. In a full-service hospital, that would be a maintenance or engineering department. The other needs to sit in a 24-hour location, which is wherever staff will be present when the facility is open.

Discussing wiring from the source equipment and the mainline switches, the mainline high-low pressure switches should be installed immediately downstream, or on the patient side of the source valve. Note that if a mainline valve is required, the pressure switch engages should be installed downstream or on the patient side of the mainline valve as it comes into the building. Gauges are required to be adjacent to pressure switches. Pattons Medical does a mainline pressure switch engage which only requires one paper off the mainline. All alarm wiring should be a minimum of 22 gauge, and power should be from the life safety branch of the emergency electrical system.

All Pattons Medical alarms are ethernet capable. Not only does that provide the best end-user texts and emails when an alarm goes off, but it also provides a conduit to talk to the BMS, and you would just need to specify that you want ethernet capability. For the master alarm panel points for a typical scroll air compressor system, you’d have five points. In a typical claw vacuum system, you’d have two points and for a high-pressure manifold, you’d have three points. That is a total of ten points, which is the minimum required at the master alarm.

AREA ALARMS

An area alarm monitors the pressure or vacuum in the area of the zone it serves. For pressure, it will alarm 20% high or low from the main pressure. For vacuum, it will alarm at low vacuum level of 12 inches of mercury. These should be located in the area of the person responsible. For example, a narcs station, they will need to be labeled for the area served and sensors should be located to permit access for testing.

An area alarm panel does not communicate or talk to a master alarm panel. Master alarms monitor the source equipment; area alarms monitor the area they serve. All of Pattons Medical alarms are ethernet capable, but we don’t need to have that capability of area alarms so much. It tends to add-up price-wise if you’re making your area alarms ethernet capable – but it is doable and available.

An area alarm panel is required in any anesthetizing location where moderate or deep sedation or general anesthesia is being performed and within any critical care areas. Any zone or area can have an alarm panel. For example, when you’re designing a tower, with the top four floors as patient wings, it is good practice to have an area alarm panel per floor.

Typically, the sensor is placed on the patient side of the zone valve box to monitor any pressure differentials for that area. Code does not allow for one area alarm panel for an operation room (OR) or anesthetizing suite, that sensor would be placed of the source side of its own valve box. You can put one area alarm per one valve box, but when you are designing a full-service facility, that can add up in price quickly. If you have any questions about where the sensor should be placed, do not hesitate to reach out to Pattons Medical.

SENSORS

Regardless of where the sensor is placed to monitor the pressure or vacuum, where are they physically located? They can be located in the alarm panel itself, which would be considered local. Or, they can be placed on the ceiling and the pipe, which would be considered remote. We can place them in the zone valve box and wire them back to the panel, which also can be called sensor provision.

Sensor provision is good because it allows access to these sensors for testing and annual verifications. Pattons Medical can help with this to show you where they should be an where it is, and is not necessary to have one.

COMBO ALARMS

Something that has come out recently is called a zone valve box and area alarm panel combo (ZVB/AAP combo). Not only are the sensors in the zone valve box, but there are also alarm panels outside on the zone valve box as well. This has a very unique fit for an extremely small facility that might not have a nurses’ station.
