Event Description

(b)(6), (b)(6) medical equipment and supplies to individual pts and facilities.I want to make a complaint about the cleanliness of the equipment being sent out to pts.(b)(6) was cleaning the zevex feeding pumps and joey feeding pumps, (b)(6) removed the cleaning products from the work station and (b)(6) to use "soap and warm water" to clean the equipment.However, as i'm sure you know, soap and water is not a disinfectant and does not kill disease carrying bacteria.Secondly, there is currently a part of medical equipment sitting outside of ( ) warehouse.Out in the open.I asked (b)(6) "why is this cart with equipment sitting outside of the building?" and was told "it has bugs in it".Well, equipment that has bugs in it is supposed to be put into a bug-zapper tent and ran for at least 8-12 hours.Leaving a ventilator with bugs in it outside in the cold does not kill the bugs.Bed bugs can live up to 6 months.This is not sanitary and not okay to be giving out dirty/but infested equipment to pts.(b)(6) spoken (b)(6) supervisors, managers, and even (b)(6) cco (b)(6).But these things keep happening.(b)(6).It's unfair to (b)(6) pts.Please help.(b)(6), (b)(6).
