Frequently Asked Questions

What does NFPA 99 require for medical air compressors?
NFPA 99 sets standards for air purity, system redundancy, and reliability in healthcare environments. It ensures medical air systems deliver clean, consistent air for patient care.

How often do medical air compressors need maintenance?
Most systems should be serviced at least twice a year, with regular air-quality checks, filter replacements, and inspections to maintain compliance and reliability.

What is “oil-free” and “oil-less” air, and why is it important for medical applications?
Oil-free and oil-less air is produced by compressors that operate without oil in the compression chamber, preventing any risk of oil or vapor entering the air supply. This ensures clean, dry air for patients and sensitive medical equipment, an essential requirement for all medical air systems.

What’s the typical lifespan of a medical air compressor?
With proper maintenance and regular monitoring, most medical air compressors last 10–15 years, depending on usage and environment.

Why should I consult JHFOSTER for my medical air compressor instead of buying one online?
