Medical-Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) Records
|
|
Violation:
The electronic master gastrointestinal (GI) illness log was designed to transfer information required to be recorded in the standardized AGE surveillance log automatically. In the data field called 'Comments,' the master GI log included underlying illness as well as many comments related to the ill persons' meals, drinks, or activities ashore. This comment field data was automatically transferred to the required standardized AGE surveillance log under the field called underlying illness. In most of the individuals there was no answer provided in the underlying illness field, but these activity and meals comments were inserted. Additionally, where there were no underlying medical conditions there were a number of entries stating 'None, AGE.'
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that the medical staff understand that in completing the master GI illness log that the underlying illness question should be answered first, so when the data transfers down to the official surveillance log the specific question is answered. Staff should also understand that the underlying illness is referring to a pre-existing medical condition which may in some way contribute to the symptoms of the case patient, and is not meant to be a field to enter the current illness diagnosis of AGE.

Potable Water-Backflow Prevention - Listing
|
|
Violation:
In the listing of non-testable backflow prevention devices the acronym PVB was written for nearly every device under the column titled device type. In the few other device types listed the acronym SVB was written. PVB stands for pressure vacuum breaker, which is a device type, but none of the specific models listed was a PVB. Many were atmospheric vacuum breakers (AVB), continuous pressure (CP) backflow preventers, or non-continuous pressure (NCP) backflow preventers.
|
|
Recommendation:
The entire non-testable backflow preventer list should be reviewed and the device type should be accurate for each device used.

Recreational Water Facilities-Lotus Pool
|
|
Violation:
There was a significant limb entrapment hazard presented by two large openings in a cover panel for the wave machine attached at the one end of the pool. The panel lower corner was separated from the pool wall at a level approximately 1 meter below the pool water surface. Additionally, a center metal grid for the same panel was separated from the surface of the panel. There was a white tube passing from the gap in the lower edge of the panel to the floor of the pool. Staff stated that rough seas on the previous cruise caused the damage. Ensure that no children enter this pool until these entrapment hazards are completely corrected.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that all parts of the wave machine's cover panel, attached grid, and tubing are repaired or replaced so the pieces are tight to the pool wall and all components are retained inside the panel tightly as designed. As the gap present at the pool wall and around the metal grid of the panel are large enough for a child's hand or foot to fit in and both occur well below the water surface, ensure that children are not allowed to use the pool until this issue is completely repaired. Ensure the supervisor or person in charge of recreational water operations on the vessel demonstrates to VSP?during inspections and on request ? knowledge of recreational water operations, is able to demonstrate this knowledge by compliance with Section 6 of the VSP 2011 Operations Manual or by responding correctly to the inspector?s questions as they relate to the specific operation, and properly trains employees to comply with Section 6 of the VSP 2011 Operations Manual as it relates to their assigned duties.
