Section 12.28.630. Equipment, facilities, and staff standards.

	(a)  A dentist who administers parenteral sedation shall at all times  
		(1) use and properly maintain the equipment and facilities necessary for the safe administration and monitoring of parenteral sedation;  
		(2) have a trained ancillary staff that is capable of handling the procedures, problems, and emergencies that may occur related to parenteral sedation, including proficiency in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and current certification in basic life support techniques; and  
		(3) have readily available oxygen under positive pressure, along with pulse oximetry.  
	(b)  Before the issuance of a parenteral sedation permit and during the term of the permit, the board may require an on-site inspection of the permittee's facilities and equipment and an evaluation of the ancillary staff. The evaluation may be carried out by the board or its designated representative. Inspections will be conducted according to the general guidelines described in the Anesthesia Evaluation Manual, published by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) Eighth Edition (2012), adopted by reference.  
	(c)  If, after an inspection, the board finds that a permittee's equipment, facilities, or trained ancillary staff are inadequate to assure safe use of parenteral sedation, the board will notify the applicant in writing and make arrangements for conducting a second inspection. If, after the second inspection, the board finds that the equipment, facilities or trained staff are still inadequate, the board will either deny issuance of or immediately suspend a parenteral sedation permit.
