Abstract

We describe a pipeline system suitable for the delivery of nitric oxide gas to an 18-bed intensive care unit. The pipeline was developed and installed according to the current UK regulations HTM 2022, which relates to the supply of piped medical gases. Where HTM 2022 did not specify the appropriate standard, we consulted widely to achieve a safe solution. We continue to monitor all aspects of the performance of the pipeline to ensure safe operating practices and recommend changes to the standards.
