What type of adapters must be used when testing outlets and inlets?

Changeable outlet/inlet adapters.
Gas specific adapters described by the manufacturer.
Miscellaneous fittings as required.
O rings/seals.

The correct answer is: Gas specific adapters described by the manufacturer.

Using gas-specific adapters, as described by the manufacturer, is essential when testing outlets and inlets because these adapters are designed to ensure that the correct type of gas is used for testing and that there are no compatibility issues. Each type of medical gas has unique properties and components, which can only be safely interfaced with compatible equipment. These adapters help maintain accurate testing conditions and prevent potential leaks or hazardous situations that could arise from using incorrect or generic fittings. Additionally, following the manufacturer's specifications ensures compliance with safety and operational standards, which is crucial in medical environments where the well-being of patients depends on the integrity of gas systems.
