Medical-24-Hour Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) Report
|
Violation:
The 24-hour AGE report submitted prior to the 11 September 2024 United States arrival did not contain the 3 reportable passenger cases of AGE, identified with illness onset dates of 30 August and 3 September (2X) by medical staff. Though these cases were identified on the electronic reportable AGE log, staff stated these cases were not included in the 24-hour report because these passengers recovered. Medical staff identified another department submitted this information. There were no additional records or correspondence to identify if CDC was notified about these 3 reportable cases.
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the AGE report contains the following: (1) name of the vessel; (2) port of embarkation; (3) date of embarkation; (4) port of disembarkation; (5) date of disembarkation; (6) total numbers of reportable cases of AGE among passengers, including those who have disembarked because of illness?even if the number is 0 (zero reporting); (7) total numbers of reportable cases of AGE among crew members, including those who have disembarked because of illness?even if the number is 0 (zero reporting); and (8) total number of passengers and crew members on the cruise.

Violation:
At the Bistro and Tastes, the ship's time control plans were not being followed as written. At the Bistro, small containers of PHF items and pitchers of milk and cream were placed on a counter top that was not listed on the plan. Additionally, these foods were only labeled with a discard time while the time control plan stated potentially hazardous foods must be labeled with the start time and the4 hour discard time. In Tastes, the two soft serve ice cream machines had time control labels but the plan did not list the units as on time control.
In addition, there were four PHF items measured out of temperature during the inspection.
- In the main galley cold room, a previously cooled pan of Shanghai mixture was at 49°F by the inspector's thermometer and 50°F by a crew member's thermometer. According to the cooling log, the Shanghai mixture had properly cooled to below 41°F prior to the inspection.
- In the pastry, previously cooled cream cheese frosting was measured at 43-45°F by the inspector's thermometer and 44-47°F by a crew member's thermometer. According to the cooling log, the cream cheese had properly cooled to below 41°F prior to the inspection.
- In the engine room, the internal temperature of an open container of milk on temperature control measured 54°F. The ambient thermometer inside the reach-in refrigeration unit measured 60°F. Over 5 hours later, this same container of milk was cold holding in this same unit with an internal temperature measuring 52°F.
- At the bridge, the internal temperature of an open container of milk on temperature control measured 50°F. The ambient thermometer inside the reach-in refrigeration unit measured 51°F. Eight 1-quart containers of milk overloaded the inside of this unit.
Finally, six large rolls of raw ground beef were stored above three containers of whole muscle pork in the butcher preparation storage room.

|
Recommendation:
Ensure each vessel has a written OPRP that details standard procedures and policies to specifically address AGE onboard. Include the following in the written OPRP: (1) Duties and responsibilities of each department and their staff for all the passenger and crew public areas; (2) Steps in outbreak management and control and the trigger for required action at each step. Ensure the triggers address a graduated approach to outbreak management in response to increasing case counts; (3) Disinfectant products or systems used, including the surfaces or items the disinfectants will be applied to, concentrations, and required contact times. Ensure the disinfectant products or systems are effective against human norovirus or an acceptable surrogate (e.g., caliciviruses); (4) Procedures for informing passengers and crew members of the outbreak. Ensure this section also includes procedures for notification of passengers embarking the vessel following an outbreak voyage or segment of a voyage; (5) Procedures for returning the vessel to normal operating conditions after an outbreak; (6) Procedures to protect the passengers and crew from exposure to disinfectants, if not already included in the vessel?s safety management system. Ensure this protection includes: (a) Material safety data sheets (MSDSs); (b) Personal protective equipment for crew; (c) Health and safety procedures to minimize respiratory and dermal exposures to both passengers and crew.

|
Violation:
Medical staff identified another department was responsible for submitting the 24-hour AGE report information for the voyages embarking on 27 August 2024, 21 August 2024, and 16 July 2024.

There were no additional records or correspondence to identify if CDC was notified about these 3 reportable cases. Medical staff were advised to assist with 24-hour reporting, and ensure all reports submitted contain accurate information.

Ensure the supervisor or person in charge of medical operations related to AGE on the vessel demonstrates to VSP?during inspections and on request?knowledge of medical operations related to AGE, is able to demonstrate this knowledge by compliance with Section 4 of the VSP 2018 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 4 of the VSP 2018 Operations Manual as it relates to their assigned duties.
