18 Fundamentals (Chapter 4) 4.2* Risk Assessment. Categories shall be determined by following and documenting a defined risk assessment procedure. A.4.2 Risk assessment should follow procedures such as those outlined in ISO 31010, NFPA 551, SEMI S or other formal process. The results of the assessment procedure should be documented and records retained.
19 Gas and Vacuum Systems (Chapter 5) New Section on Cryogenic Systems Working with NFPA 55 on bulk oxygen requirements Tested for proper function For purity, alarm sensors Operation of the control sensors
20 Gas and Vacuum Systems (Chapter 5) Adding testing and inspection requirements on new and existing non-stationary medical booms Testing per manufacturers recommendations, every 18 months or based on risk assessment. Maintenance schedules for the remaining equipment is based on risk assessment

29 New section on campus electrical systems being added Attempts to clear up conflicts with NEC Electrical Systems (Chapter 6)
30 Electrical Systems (Chapter 6) Wet Location changes to Wet Procedure Location throughout the entire document
31 Electrical Systems (Chapter 6) Permits isolated power or ground fault protection within operating rooms
32 Electrical Systems (Chapter 6) In the 2012 Edition By default, an OR will be considered a wet location unless a RISK ASSESSMENT STUDY, by the HeathcareGoverning Body, is done and concludes that all or certain ORs are to be considered dry locations. If determined to be a Wet Location: Isolated Power System GFCI
33 Electrical Systems NFPA 99 and Isolated Power Historical Development 1940s Isolated Power Systems were introduced to reduce the occurrence of sparks in the OR With the development of nonflammable anesthetics, the argument was made to delete the requirements for IPSs.
34 Electrical Systems NFPA 99 and Isolated Power Historical Development NFPA 99, 1984 Edition Deleted the mandatory requirement for IPSs in nonflammable anesthetizing locations. However, this led to subsequent discussions regarding the need for IPSs in a wet location.
35 Electrical Systems NFPA 99 and Isolated Power Historical Development NFPA 99, 1987 Edition Defined a wet location as a patient care area that is normally subject to wet conditions while patients are present including standing water on the floor or routine dousing and drenching of the work area It is the responsibility of the individual health care facility to decide which, if any, anesthetizing locations should be considered wet locations.
36 Electrical Systems NFPA 99 and Isolated Power Historical Development NFPA 99, 1990 Edition Redefined a wet location as a patient care area that is normally subject to wet conditions while patients are present, including standing fluids on the floor or drenching of the work area, either of which condition is intimate to the patient or staff.
37 Electrical Systems NFPA 99 and Isolated Power Historical Development NFPA 99, 2005 Edition Redefined a wet location as the area in a patient care area where a procedure is performed that is normally subject to wet conditions while patients are present including standing fluids on the floor or drenching of the work area, either of which condition is intimate to the patient or staff. Routing housekeeping procedures and incidental spillage of liquids do not define a wet location.
38 Electrical Systems NFPA 99 and Isolated Power Historical Development Summary Previously all areas considered a dry location unless designated as Wet by the Hospital. Now All Operating Rooms to be considered a Wet location unless determined otherwise by Risk Assessment. Annex note further indicates that the risk assessment should include all relevant parties and should involve, but not be, limited to clinicians, bio-medical engineering and facility safety engineering staff.
