5723	PRUITTHEALTH - MARIETTA	115276	50 SAINE DRIVE SW	MARIETTA	GA	30008	2014-10-30	328	D	0	1	RG0T11	Based on observations, review of the facility's policy and manufacturer guidelines, and staff interviews, the facility failed to maintain the cleanliness of oxygen (O2) equipment for two (2) residents (#101 and #51), of six (6) residents receiving continuous oxygen therapy on two (2) of two (2) nursing units. Findings include: 1. Observations conducted on 10/27/14 at 2:47 PM, 10/28/14 at 7:29 AM, and 10/29/14 at 10:15 AM revealed the Invacare Platinum Series 5 oxygen concentrator for resident #101 had filters on each side that were coated with a thick layer of white dust. On 10/30/14 at 7:55 AM the concentrator had one side caked with white dust and the filter on the other side was rolled up and dusty, and appeared to have been rinsed. Interview conducted 10/30/2014 at 8:45 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON) in the room of resident #101, revealed filters on the O2 concentrator should have been washed or changed Sunday by the nursing supervisor and this one must have been missed. 2. Observation on 10/30/2014 at 1:51 PM revealed an Invacare platinum 5 oxygen concentrator providing continuous oxygen via Nasal Cannula to resident #51 had both filters coated with dust. Interview conducted on 10/30/2014 at 2:31 PM with Registered Nurse GG in the room of resident #51 revealed oxygen filters are supposed to be cleaned or changed on Sundays. GG acknowledged these filters were not changed or cleaned Sunday. Review of the facility policy entitled Oxygen Administration Safety and Storage revealed the large external black filter should be washed with soap and water once each week and as needed (PRN). Review of the manufacturer's guidelines for the Invacare Platinum Series 5 oxygen concentrator revealed both filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a week or more frequently depending on environmental conditions.	2018-05-01
