PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br />Ernest M. Fujimoto, M. D., M.P.H., Acting Health Officer <br />304 E. Weber Ave., Third Floor • P. O. Box 388 • Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br />209/468-3420 <br />September 12, 1996 <br />Ms. Karen Fulton <br />Lodi Memorial Hospital <br />975 S. Fairmont Ave. <br />PO Box 3004 <br />Lodi, CA 95241-1908 <br />Re: Biological Indicators for Steam Sterilizer <br />Ms. Fulton, <br />Please consider this an addendum to the medical waste inspection report I provided to you on <br />September 4, 1996. Ms. Campbell provided the Bacillus stearothermophilus vials presumably <br />for the past year however I was unable to read any dates and unable to decipher which were <br />the controls and which were the actual tests. In addition, I was unable to determine whether <br />or not your sterilizer had attained adequate sterilization conditions. Please provide to me, in <br />writing, who will be responsible to correct this violation of Health and Safety Code section <br />118215 (c)(4) and (c)(5), within 15 days. Since it is impossible to provide data for the past <br />year, I would appreciate knowing what your procedures will be from this day forward to <br />comply with this requirement. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Kasey Foley, Lead Senior R.E.H.S. <br />Medical Waste Management Program <br />A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
