Question
Our ASC was built in the late 1980s.
We would like to remove the hopper
that was originally installed. The
center is ophthalmology and we do
not use the hopper. Can we remove
it? Do we need to obtain a waiver for
this? Who do we contact?
Response
Contact Todd Hite, Health Care
Engineering Program:
Thite@isdh.in.gov
317-233-7166 for assistance in
determining required components for
an ASC per the AIA guidelines and/or
the possibility for waiver, if the
component is required.
Question
Review the new Medicare rule
regarding advanced directives and
not having a blanket statement that
living wills are not honored.
Although our recent survey was not
a federal survey, the surveyors did
not know about this rule when we
asked their opinion on the rule.
Response
Surveyor opinion about the regulation
is irrelevant.
Staff have been provided the update.
Rule: no blanket statement.
Centers: consult with counsel.
Question
The local hospital completes the biomedical safety checks on
our equipment. The print out for each piece of equipment
documents a pass/fail grade. The last surveyor said this
was not acceptable because it did not include the ground
current leakage results on the form. The hospital has
criteria that if not met, the equipment is taken out of
circulation. This is the same report that has been given to
us for over 20 years and now this surveyor states it is not
sufficient. The director at the hospital even mentioned a
previous ISDH surveyor said their policy meet the standard.
Also the surveyor said a triennial electrical current leakage
report was required. What rule is this?
Response
Rule: 410 IAC 15-2.5-7(b)
Specifically: 15-2.5-7(b)(4)(B)(iii)
Waiver?
Was a citation given?
Question
The surveyor mentioned if the
generator battery is not enclosed, we
need to complete a yearly
hygrometer testing of the specific
acid in the battery. Where is this rule
located?
Response:
“Buried” in the LSC, Code 110,
Appendix as a ‘should’.
Maintenance free: not allowed.
Cited??
Question
Please let the membership know where
the 2008 rules with the guidance to
surveyors are located. Is there any
document that denotes the changes
from the 2000 edition compared to
the 2008 edition?
Response
http://www.in.gov/isdh/files/410_iac_15-2.pdf
No cross-walk from 2000 to 2008
Question
The surveyor reviewed the pest control
report and mentioned it should
include not only the product that was
used but also what bugs they were
looking for. What rule is this?
Response
No rule; but…..
Question
Part 2 Infection Control and Related Practices Page
10 Letter K "Multidose medications used for more
than one patient are not stored or accessed in the
immediate areas where direct patient contact
occurs"
1-Does this include enclosed and locked anesthesia
carts located in the OR's?
2-If so, what are acceptable storage and access
methods if multidose medications are used in
order to meet this regulation?
Response
Yes: 2. B.11 If multi‐dose vials are used for more than one patient,
they do not enter the immediate patient treatment area (e.g.,
operating room, patient room, anesthesia carts) . Note: if
multi‐dose vials are found in the patient care area they must be
dedicated for single patient use and discarded after use.
If using multi-dose vials, store them somewhere besides ORs, patient
rooms or anesthesia carts.
Question
Ask if an endoscopy center can get a
waiver for the scrub sink or at the
very least put it in the locker room.
Also want to know if you can call any
sink a scrub sink or does it
technically have to be a ‘scrub sink’?
Response
Scrub sinks are a defined type of sink.
Not any sink can be a ‘scrub’ sink.
No scrub sinks in locker rooms.
A waiver request may be submitted for
good cause shown.
