Attached [not available via the Internet] is information we received several
years ago from the federal Health Care Financing Administration Central Office in
Baltimore and the Chicago Regional Office. This information deals with the continued use
of "Omega Series" sprinkler heads. Also enclosed is a NFPA News Bulletin on the
recall of Omega sprinklers published January-February 1999 [not available via the
Internet].
Since the sprinkler heads are still an issue in recent court dates, the Bureau feels
the enclosed information is useful in keeping all parties apprised of current events.
If you have any questions, please contact your Bureau of Quality Assurance engineer.
