Summary Statement of Deficiencies D3011 FACILITIES CFR(s): 493.1101(d) Safety procedures must be established, accessible, and observed to ensure protection from physical, chemical, biochemical, and electrical hazards, and biohazardous materials. This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, record review and interview, the laboratory failed to keep food materials away from hazardous reagents in one (nursing area "Revive Lab") of two refrigerators observed. Findings Included: 1. During a tour of the nursing area on 11- 28-22 at 2:54 PM, a refrigerator labeled "Revive Lab" was in the room. Inside the refrigerator was "MGC Primary DAU" control set and "Creatinine Detect Test" along with lunch boxes and soda. The refrigerator was labeled "Meds and Medical Only". 2. Review of "DRI Creatinine-Detect Test" stated "This test is for in vitro diagnostic use only. The reagents are harmful if swallowed. The assay components contain .0.09% sodium azide, 0.2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.5% Drug-specific antibody (Mouse). Avoid contact with skin and mucous membranes. Flush affected areas with copious amounts of water. Get immediate medical attention for eyes, or if ingested. Sodium azide may react with lead or copper plumbing to form potentially explosive metal azides. When disposing of such reagents, always flush with large volumes of water to prevent azide build-up. Clean exposed metal surfaces with 10% sodium hydroxide.H317 - May cause allergic skin reaction. H334 - May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wear protective gloves/eye protection/face protection. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. If on skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water. IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing." 3.
