Based on observation and interview, the facility did not provide corridor separation doors with doors with positive-latching hardware, and self-latching inactive doors. This deficiency occurred in 2 of the 7 smoke compartments, and had the potential to affect 75 of the 128 patients that the facility was licensed to serve, as well as an undetermined number of staff and visitors.

FINDINGS INCLUDE:
1. On 07/12/2011 at 2:31 pm surveyor #18107 observed in the 1SCW smoke compartment on the First floor in the 1121-Dining Room of Food Service Suite, that the corridor door to Dining Room would not positively self-latch when pushed to a closed position. The dining room double doors would not close and the maintenance staff did not know how long this condition existed at the time of findings. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 (2000 edition), 18.3.6.3.2. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff M (Food & Nutritional Srvs.), staff L (Dir. of Food Service ) and staff C (Maintenance Mechanic).

2.

FINDINGS INCLUDE:
1. On 07/11/2011 at 10:36 am surveyor #18107 observed in the 2SCW smoke compartment on the Second floor in the 2608-Soiled Utility Room, that the door would not positively self-latch when released because the latch mechanism would not work. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 (2000 edition), 8.2.3.2. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic), staff H (Dir. Of Diagnostic Services), and staff G (Dir. Of Inpat. Services).

2. On 07/12/2011 at 2:33 pm surveyor #18107 observed in the 1SCW smoke compartment on the First floor in the 1122-Dirty Dishes Return Room of Food Service Suite, that the door would not positively self-latch when released because the air pressure from the adjoining dining room prevented the door from closing when the fire shutter to the kitchen is closed. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 (2000 edition), 8.2.3.2.

Based on observation, interview and a review of documents, the facility did not maintain the sprinkler system in a reliable operating condition that included a complete inspection program as required by NFPA 25. The sprinkler system did not have intact escutcheon rings and ceilings sealed above the sprinklers to collect heat. This deficiency occurred in 3 of the 7 smoke compartments and had the potential to affect 78 of the 128 patients that the facility was licensed to serve, as well as an undetermined number of staff and visitors.

FINDINGS INCLUDE:
1. On 07/11/2011 at 10:45 am surveyor #18107 observed in the 3SCN smoke compartment on the Third floor in the Corridor-3106 between 304 & 305 Inpatient Sleeping Rooms, that the escutcheon ring on the sprinkler was not tight to the ceiling. This gap may reduce the response time of the sprinkler in the space and did not duplicate the tight conditions that were used in the sprinkler escutcheon listed testing agency certification test. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 25 (1998 edition), 1-11.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic), staff H (Dir. Of Diagnostic Services), and staff E (Inpatient Manager).

2. On 07/11/2011 at 10:55 am surveyor #18107 observed in the 3SCN smoke compartment on the Third floor in the Corridor-3201 between 311 & 312 Inpatient Sleeping Rooms, that the escutcheon ring on the sprinkler was not tight to the ceiling. This gap may reduce the response time of the sprinkler in the space and did not duplicate the tight conditions that were used in the sprinkler escutcheon listed testing agency certification test. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 25 (1998 edition), 1-11.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic), staff H (Dir.

4. On 07/11/2011 at 1:21 pm surveyor #18107 observed in the 1SCW smoke compartment on the First floor in the 1521-Information Technical Services Room, that there was one or more unsealed holes near the ceiling. The holes included cable wiring penetrations in the ceiling with a hole around penetrations of at least 1/2 inch each. These holes would reduce the response time of the sprinkler in the room and did not duplicate the tight conditions that were used in the sprinkler UL certification test. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 25 (1998 edition), 1-11.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic), staff H (Dir. Of Diagnostic Services), and staff Q (Bldg. Services Coord.).

5. On 07/12/2011 at 3:22 pm surveyor #18107 observed in the 2SCE smoke compartment on the Second floor in the Sterilizer Equipment Room, that there was one or more unsealed holes near the ceiling. The holes included three pipes penetrating the ceiling with at least 1/2 inches of opening around each penetration. These holes would reduce the response time of the sprinkler in the room and did not duplicate the tight conditions that were used in the sprinkler UL certification test. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 25 (1998 edition), 1-11.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic) and staff Q (Bldg. Services Coord.).

6. On 07/12/2011 at 3:31 pm surveyor #18107 observed in the 2SCE smoke compartment on the Second floor in the 2420-Sub-Sterile Room, that there was one or more unsealed holes near the ceiling. The holes included 2 inch opening in ceiling behind the flash sterilizer. These holes would reduce the response time of the sprinkler in the room and did not duplicate the tight conditions that were used in the sprinkler UL certification test. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 25 (1998 edition), 1-11.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic) and staff Q (Bldg. Services Coord.).

7. On 07/12/2011 at 3:39 pm surveyor #18107 observed in the 2SCE smoke compartment on the Second floor in the 2425-Sub-Sterile Room, that there was one unsealed hole near the ceiling. The hole included one copper pipe penetrating the ceiling with at least 1-1/2 inches of opening around the pipe because the insulation was removed from around the pipe where it previously went through the ceiling. This hole would reduce the response time of the sprinkler in the room and did not duplicate the tight conditions that were used in the sprinkler UL certification test. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 25 (1998 edition), 1-11.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff B (Facilities Director), staff C (Maintenance Mechanic) and staff Q (Bldg. Services Coord.).
