Online News-IAPMO Extends Invitation to Health Organizations
IAPMO has invited AAMI and the FDA to contribute to the development of the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes.
The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) has invited the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to contribute to the development of the Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, the first ANSI-designated companion codes regulating the plumbing and mechanical industry.
Communications between these important organizations originated with a request for information from AAMI addressing a concern that the Uniform Plumbing Code may be too restrictive when it comes to the use of materials used in the water purification circulating loop and also the possibility of an excess of backflow devices protecting the water supply from the dialysis units.
