“WAGD” stands for Waste Anesthetic Gas Disposal. These outlets are installed in operating rooms to remove excess anesthetic gases exhaled by patients or escaping from anesthesia equipment. The purpose is to maintain staff safety and compliance with NFPA 99 (Health Care Facilities Code), which requires WAGD systems in anesthetizing locations.
Correct (D): Operating rooms require WAGD outlets as part of medical gas and vacuum systems.
Incorrect:
A. boiler room: No patient care; WAGD outlets are not relevant.
B. electrical closet: For electrical equipment only, no medical gases.
C. laundry room: Handles linens, not anesthetic gas removal.
