Main and feeder circuit breakers are inspected annually, and a program for periodically exercising the components is established according to manufacturer requirements. Written records of maintenance and testing are maintained and readily available. EES electrical panels and circuits are marked, readily identifiable, and separate from normal power circuits. Minimizing the possibility of damage of the emergency power source is a design consideration for new installations. 6.4.4, 6.5.4, 6.6.4 (NFPA 99), NFPA 110, NFPA 111, 700.10 (NFPA 70) This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide evidence of routine generator maintenance based on the manufacturer’s recommendations and in accordance with NFPA 101. This could adversely affect all staff and patients during a power disruption should the system fail.
Findings included: On 7/18/22 between 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., during the facility record review with the Maintenance Director, the documentation for the weekly and monthly generator inspection was observed. The documentation revealed that the monthly 30-minute load test and battery conductance test was not being performed. Concurrent with the observation and at the exit conference the Maintenance Director and Administrator acknowledged the findings.
K 918 Specific Corrective Action: No residents were adversely affected. However, corrective actions was taken specific to the deficiency. On July 9, 2022 the Maintenance Director ordered a new battery tester that performs conductance tests on batteries (Attachment I). On July 22, 2022 a conductance test was performed on each battery with good results (Attachment J). The monthly 30-minute load test log was modified to record all required information during load test (Attachment K) and a 30-minute load test was successfully conducted on July 22, 2022 (Attachments K, L-1, & L-2). Method to Assess Other Residents: No residents were adversely affected by this deficiency. Systems Review:

K 918 Continued From page 8 K 918 A recurring work order was created and issued for the load test and battery conductance test to be completed each month and results documented as required (Attachment M).
Quality Assurance: The log for monthly generator load test and battery conductance test reports will be maintained by the Maintenance Director and a copy of the log and conductance reports will be forwarded to the Administrator. The Maintenance Director and Administrator will monitor the logs for compliance. Any issues will be reported by the Administrator to the Quality Assurance Committee as part of the Life Safety Report.
