11184 | WEIRTON MEDICAL CENTER, D/P | 515077 | 601 COLLIERS WAY | WEIRTON | WV | 26062 | 2009-05-20 | 465 | D | 1 | 0 | V0TW11 | Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities 2 Building Systems 2.1 Plumbing 2.1.1 General. Unless otherwise specified herein, all plumbing systems shall be designed and installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code. 2.1.2 Plumbing and Other Piping Systems 2.1.2.1 Hot water systems. The following standards shall apply to hot water systems: *(1) Capacity. The water-heating system shall have sufficient supply capacity at the temperatures and amounts indicated in the applicable table. Storage of water at higher temperatures shall be permitted. (2) Hot water distribution systems serving patient/resident care areas shall be under constant recirculation to provide continuous hot water. This Standard is Not Met as evidenced by: Based on measured water temperatures, the facility failed to provide continuous hot water at the required temperatures indicated in Table 4.1-3 (95 - 110 degrees Fahrenheit (F)). Facility census: 28. Findings include: a) At approximately 10:50 a.m. on 05/19/09, hot water temperature was measured in the sink serving resident room #630. The hot water temperature at this sink was measured to be 65.9 degrees F after heavily flowing water for four (4) minutes. The hot water temperature at a second sink serving the Ante-room portion of this resident room was measured at 66.0 degrees F initially and rose to 108.0 degrees F after three (3) minutes. The hot water temperature of the first sink was re-measured and found to be 108 degrees F. To conclude, a time frame of seven (7) minutes was required to obtain an acceptable hot water temperature and continuous hot water is not provided. As such, the comfort of the resident is compromised. . | 2014-07-01 |
