Box 2009 <br />Stockton, CA 95201 <br />RE: Infectious Waste Disposal for Lodi Memorial Hospital <br />Dear Dr. Williams: <br />To comply with C.A.C.-Title 22, Section 70847, Lodi Memorial Hospital is <br />disposing of infectious waste as follows: <br />All Infectious Waste is placed in double plastic bags, with each <br />bag tied off separately, at the point of origin. The bags are <br />identified with appropriate "Contaminated" labels. <br />These bags are picked up by housekeeping as soon as possible. <br />Housekeeping places these bags into an enclosed Blackwelder <br />Compactor located outside the building. <br />Laboratory waste is autoclaved in the laboratory before being <br />disposed of, by Housekeeping, in the compactor. <br />The Compactor is picked up by California Solid Waste Removal of <br />Lodi and taken to the County dump where the waste is buried in <br />accord with all regulations of the San Joaquin Local Health Dis- <br />trict. The compactor is then cleaned and sanitized before return- <br />ing to Lodi Memorial Hospital. <br />We would appreciate a letter currently approving the handling of trash, <br />including infectious waste, at Lodi Memorial Hospital. Thank you for <br />your help in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />l <br />CAROLINE STOUD, RN <br />INFECTION CONTROL <br />CS:lw <br />wp/n <br />975 South Fairmont Avenue / Post Office Box 110 / Lodi, California 95241 / (209) 334-3411 <br />
