Potable Water-Medical Dialysis
|
Violation:
The cross connection control plan had an entry for a dialysis machine in the medical center that stated the device used was a dual check valve with an intermediate vent. When the connection in the medical center was inspected no device was installed. According to medical staff, the last dialysis performed onboard was over a year ago. If dialysis was needed for a passenger medical staff had to call the engineering department before the voyage started to install the backflow prevention device in the medical facility. It could not be determined what device was used.
|
Recommendation:
Provide a comprehensive cross-connection control program. Protect the following connections to the potable water system against backflow with air gaps or mechanical backflow prevention devices: (13) hospital and laundry equipment. Install a testable backflow prevention device for dialysis connections.

|
Recommendation:
Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control, maintain potentially hazardous foods at 57°C (135°F) or above, except that roasts may be held at a temperature of 54°C (130°F); or 5°C (41°F) or less.

Post a time control plan at each outlet where time control is used. Ensure plan(s): (1) Includes set-up and discard times for each outlet. (2) List refrigeration and hot holding units (compartments and cabinets) on time control (the physical units must also be labeled as such).

Galley-Deck 4 Main Galley - Dishwash
|
Violation:
During active use of the flight-type conveyor dishwash machine the exterior final hot-water sanitizing thermometer registered from 190-200°F, but through repeated running of the machine and testing of the manifold pipe temperature it never reached the minimum 180°F. There were no other visible or audible issues identified inside this machine to cause such a significant temperature deviation.
|
Recommendation:
Maintain warewashing equipment in good repair and proper adjustment, including: (1) warewashing equipment is maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the standards of the materials, design, and construction of these guidelines; (2) water pressure and water temperature-measuring devices are maintained in good repair and accurate within the intended range of use.

Site:
Galley-Deck 4 Main Galley - Dishwash
|
Violation:
During active use of the flight-type conveyor dishwash machine several measures were made using thermal labels on the interior final sanitizing rinse manifold, which were all below the minimum 180°F. Several manual measures were also made by holding a thermometer directly at the dish level of the final sanitizing rinse spray and the temperature ranged from 152 to 158°F. The machine was stopped, repaired and re-tested. In the re-testing both the manifold temperature and dish level temperatures were above the minimum required.
|
Recommendation:
In a mechanical operation, ensure the temperature of the fresh hot water sanitizing rinse as it enters the manifold is not more than 90°C (194°F) or less than: (1) 74°C (165°F) for a stationary rack, single-temperature machine; (2) 82°C (180°F) for all other machines. Ensure the utensil surface temperature is not less than 71°C (160°F) as measured by an irreversible registering temperature indicator.

Site:
Ventilation-Deck 6 Fan Room 324
|
Violation:
This large fan room had several air-conditioning fan units inside. During the inspection it was noted that fan units 310, 311, and 312 did not have access points such as doors or a hatch to access the condensate collection pans inside for inspection. None of these units had sight windows installed, while other fan units in the same room did have sight windows installed to easily view the condensate collection pans.
|
Recommendation:
Ensure air handling unit condensate drain pans and collection systems are able to be accessed for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning. Install sight windows or use other effective methods to allow for full inspection of condensate collection pans when original equipment access makes evaluation during operational inspections impractical.
