The portion of the medical gas supply equipment that automatically supplies the system when the primary and secondary are unable to do so is called what?

Secondary source

Reserve supply

Automatic continuity of gas flow is tested here. In a hospital medical gas system, gas comes from a primary source and a secondary source to cover routine failures. If both are unable to deliver, a reserve supply automatically takes over to keep the system pressurized and delivering gas. This reserve is connected in a way that senses pressure drop and opens to feed the line, ensuring no interruption in patient care. The term reserve supply is the standard name for this automatic, last-resort source.
