Medical gas source hold is the pass through open work orders that keeps a maintenance ticket from reading like a source change. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Changing a source, a zone valve, or an alarm setpoint while patients are on the system stops here. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

The clinical procedure for a source change exists, and the work order never mentions it. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Changing a source, a zone valve, or an alarm setpoint while patients are on the system stops here.
Monthly. A job that reads like permission to switch a gas source is sent back. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
