Item No.: 01

Violation: The 4-hour report was incorrect for the 7-18 October voyage. The 4-hour stated 3 reportable passenger cases and the AGE log stated 2 reportable cases.

Item No.: 02
Site: Medical-Medical Records
Violation: The acute gastroenteritis (AGE) surveillance log automatically determined if a patient was a reportable case and staff reported they were unable to override this entry in the log. On the 13-20 October voyage, a passenger experienced one episode of diarrhea and was dispensed anti-diarrheal medication. When the inspector asked the staff why this case was reportable, the medical records were not available to review. Staff explained the medical records were at the corporate office for privacy reasons and the AGE log system automatically determined the patient as a case if dispensed diarrheal medication.
Recommendation: Ensure a reportable case of AGE is a case reported to the master of the vessel, the medical staff, or other designated staff by a passenger or a crew member and meets the case definition based on the following symptoms: (1) Diarrhea (three or more episodes of loose stools in a 24 hour period or what is above normal for the individual. See section 4.1.2.1.3, illness symptoms); or (2) vomiting and one additional symptom including one or more episodes of loose stools in a 24-hour period, or abdominal cramps, or headache, or muscle aches, or fever (temperature of greater than or equal to 38C [100.4F]). Maintain the following records on board for 12 months and make them available for review by VSP during inspections and outbreak investigations: (1) medical log/record; (2) AGE surveillance log; (3) 2-hour self-administered questionnaires; (4) interviews with cabin mates and immediate contacts of crew members with AGE [initial, 24-, and 48-hour]; (5) documentation of the 3-day assessment of crew members with AGE symptoms before joining the vessel; (6) documentation of the date and time of last symptom and clearance to return to work for food and nonfood employees; and (7) documentation of the date and time of verbal interviews with asymptomatic cabin mates and immediate contacts of symptomatic crew.
