INTRODUCTION
The NFPA 99 Chapter 14 Hyperbaric Facilities risk assessment algorithm is a detailed process for effectively managing patient care product(s) in a hyperbaric environment (refer to topic "Prohibited Item Risk Assessment".[1] The NFPA risk assessment algorithm is intended for use when evaluating wound care dressings, products, and patient care devices for use in the hyperbaric environment.
The evaluation process begins by obtaining the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each product or prohibited item. Clinicians then work through a standardized series of risk-assessment questions. To help hyperbaric teams locate the necessary data quickly and complete their assessments efficiently, this topic provides a curated list of SDS references.
