1Receptable numbers reflect the total number of receptacles from normal power, emergency power, or any combination thereof. See Section 2.1-8.3.3.1 (Essential electrical system or emergency electrical power) to determine if an essential electrical system or emergency electrical power is required.

21Permanently installed single, duplex, or fourplex receptacles or a combination of these shall be permitted. Receptacles in relocatable power taps or mounted on portable equipment shall not be counted as part of the total minimum requirement.

32In this table, “convenient” means the cords from the equipment to be used in the room can reach the receptacles without causing a trip hazard.

43The number of receptacles for these spaces is intended to agree with the number required in the governing edition of NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code.

Notes 1. Consideration shall be given to providing some outlets on essential electrical power and some on normal

power in operating rooms and post-anesthesia recovery areas in case of transfer switch failure. 2. Each room in the table shall meet the requirements for connection to the essential electrical system in the

governing edition of NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code. 3. Branch circuits serving only special purpose receptacles shall be permitted to be served by other

panelboards.

1Use of portable equipment in lieu of a piped gas system shall be permitted. 2If Where inhalation anesthesia, including nitrous oxide, will be used, in an operating room or Class 3 imaging

room, installation of a waste anesthetic gas disposal (WAGD) system should shall be provided considered. Use of portable delivery and scavenging equipment shall be permitted in lieu of a permanently installed WAGD system.

3Vacuum and/or instrument air shall be provided if needed for cleaning methods used. 4In the one-room sterile processing facility and the clean workroom of the two-room sterile processing facility,

an instrument air outlet or portable compressed air shall be provided as required by the equipment used. In the decontamination room of the two-room sterile processing facility, an instrument air outlet or portable compressed air is required.

5NFPA 99 permits the use of portable medical compressed air for single applications. Where cylinders are used for non-respiratory purposes, such as air for blowing down scopes and/or running decontamination equipment, NFPA 99 should be consulted for cylinder air quality, placement, and handling.

Note The provision of medical gases shall also comply with NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code. The clinical risk assessment in NFPA 99 may result in more stringent requirements for locations where this table permits use of portable gases.

1It is recognized that staff other than nurses may respond to these devices, but the term “nurse call” is used here as it is an industry-accepted term.

2A Where patient toilet room call stations are optional, a safety risk assessment shall be performed. identify patient toilet rooms where a patient station is required.

Notes 1. One device shall be permitted to accommodate patient station, staff assistance station, and emergency call

station functionality. 2. A visible signal shall be activated in the corridor at the door to the room from which the signal was initiated

and at the nurse/control station where one is provided. 3. One device shall be permitted to accommodate both staff assistance and emergency call station

functionality. 4. Provision of toilet room call stations shall be predicated on the fall prevention assessment portion of the

safety risk assessment.

2Seating capacity should be rounded up to the next whole number when calculating the total number of seats required.

3Open spaces should be included for patients in wheelchairs who are waiting for care; these spaces may be counted as part of the total number of seats provided.
