This document is a study report titled "Dayton VA Medical Center EndoDry Medical Air Study." It details the findings and recommendations for installing seven (7) EndoDry cabinets within Building 330 of the Dayton VA Medical Center. The study addresses the need for a new instrument air system to support these cabinets, as no existing system is in place.

This document outlines the requirements for a new instrument air compressor system and its installation. Key aspects include:

• Equipment Needed: A standalone compressor capable of supplying 30-35 scfm at 100 psi is recommended, specifically a Powerex Triplex 30 HP Air Compressor System.
• Installation Locations: Three potential locations were assessed in the basement and second-floor mechanical rooms. The recommendation is to install the compressor in Basement Mechanical Room (BD-114) due to adequate space and minimal disruption.
• Pipe Routing: Considerations for routing instrument air pipes with minimal disruption to hospital operations are discussed, with a preference for routing through floors in the basement.
• Scope: The study covers the installation of six cabinets in the Digestive/Endoscopy section and one in the Operating/Surgery section.
