✍️ Sample RMGA Questions & Answers

1. What component stores medical gases under pressure?
✓ Cylinders

Medical gases are stored under high pressure in specialized cylinders, which serve as the primary containers for these gases before distribution. These cylinders are designed for safety and are typically color-coded and clearly labeled to identify their specific contents.

2. When routing medical gas piping through a fire-rated wall, what is required?
✓ A listed firestop system must be installed at the penetration

All penetrations of fire-rated assemblies by medical gas piping must be sealed with a listed and labeled firestop system to maintain the fire rating.

3. Which type of fitting is prohibited in medical gas pipeline systems according to NFPA 99?
✓ Threaded fittings on copper tubing

Threaded fittings on copper tubing are prohibited in medical gas systems; all joints must use brazed or approved mechanical connections.

4. Why is documentation of tests and inspections necessary?
✓ Proof of compliance and safety

Comprehensive documentation of all tests, inspections, and maintenance activities provides irrefutable proof that the medical gas system meets regulatory requirements and safety standards. This record is essential for audits, demonstrating due diligence, and ensuring accountability, ultimately safeguarding patient well-being and facility compliance.

5. Which CGA standard specifically addresses safe handling of compressed gas cylinders?
✓ CGA P-1

CGA P-1 (Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers) provides guidelines for the safe storage, transport, and use of compressed gas cylinders.

6. During a medical gas system pressure test, if a brazed joint fails, what corrective action is required before repeating the test?
✓ Re-braze the joint using silver-alloy brazing filler and purge with nitrogen before retesting

A failed brazed joint must be properly re-brazed with silver-alloy filler material and the system must be purged with nitrogen before the pressure test is repeated.
