Lodi Outpatient Surgical Center/Endoscopy <br />Center of Lodi <br />Title: Hazardous Materials and Regulated <br />Medical Waste Management Plan <br />POLICY: HM 300 <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />State: <br />EFFECTIVE: <br />CMS: 416.42, 416.44 a 3 , 416.49(b)(2) 416.51 <br />REVISED: <br />TJC: EC.02.01.01.01 <br />AAAHC: 7-I,J 8-M <br />Biohazard bags and filled sharps containers shall not be stored for more than seven (7) days at a <br />temperature above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This seven (7) day period begins when any waste has <br />been placed in the bag or container. See 118280 D1 (B) for 30 -day allowance. <br />All reusable rigid containers that are used for accumulation, transportation and storage of Medical <br />Waste shall be washed and decontaminated after a maximum of seven (7) days, or more if visibly <br />soiled. The approved method for decontamination at this facility is the use of a bleach solution diluted <br />a minimum of 500 ppm. The solution should be allowed contact with the surface for a minimum of 3 <br />minutes. The amount of solution mixed will be no more than can be used at any one time. <br />Medical Waste Treatment and Disposal Method <br />All Medical Waste will be picked up one time weekly by "Stericycle" Hauler and transported to the off- <br />site treatment facility identified below. Records of Medical Waste transported to "Stericycle" will be <br />kept in the Administrators Office and retained for a minimum of three (3) years. <br />Emergency Action Plan <br />While it is highly unlikely that the company would experience a shutdown of operations, contingencies <br />include use of an alternate hauler or retention of the medical waste for not more than seven (7) days <br />from the point of generation above 0 degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Another <br />contingency for less well-defined emergency situations would be to contact the Local Enforcement <br />Agency <br />(Department of Health Services, Medical Waste Program) for guidance at (916) 875-8469. <br />Waste Hauler: <br />Stericycle, Medical Waste Hauler <br />11875 White Rock Rd. <br />Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 <br />(866) 783-7422 <br />Certification: <br />The information included in the Medical Waste Management Plan is complete and accurate to the <br />best of my knowledge. <br />d An W_ <br />Ad finis ator <br />
