Legislation Up-date
The ‘Medigap’ has been technically
designed to feed water to up to three dentist chairs. The system
incorporates a type ‘A’ airgap, which conforms to current legislation and to
date has been accepted by all water inspectors who have been involved with
the unit and it’s installation.
One section of the current legislation
deals with ‘point of use’. As the manufacturer of the unit this section is
largely out of our jurisdiction. Some water inspectors have however
interpreted this matter to mean that the potential for cross contamination
between dentist chairs may exist, and that therefore each chair must have
it’s own ‘Medigap’ unit and must not supply any other service.
We would suggest that you take up this
matter with the inspector involved prior to installing a ‘Medigap’ unit or
ensure that each chair is fitted with it’s own individual unit in every
case.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should
you require further advice or assistance.
