F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely.

Residents Affected - Few This failure has the potential to cause malfunctions of the ventilators, which may place the health of clinically compromised Residents 1 and 2 at risk. Findings: During an observation on 5/22/2025, at 12:43 p.m. in the Subacute Unit, with the respiratory therapist (RT 1) and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), it was noted that the two ventilators currently in use for Resident 1 and Resident 2 were overdue for service maintenance. The maintenance sticker observed for both ventilators indicated the following: a. For Resident 1 - preventative maintenance was due on June 17, 2023. b. For Resident 2 - preventative maintenance was due on September 20, 2024. The ADON and RT 1 acknowledged that preventive maintenance for both ventilators is already past due. During a concurrent interview and review of the policy and procedure (P&P) titled Maintenance Service, on 5/22/2025, at 1:31 p.m. with the ADON, the ADON was inquired about the procedures for scheduling maintenance on ventilators. ADON stated respiratory therapist informs her when maintenance is required for a ventilator, and she will then contact the outside company for scheduling. A continued review of the policy and procedure titled Maintenance Service, dated December 2009, with the ADON, the P&P indicated .Providing routinely scheduled maintenance service of equipment according manufacturer ' s guidelines or other facility needs that may become necessary or appropriate . When the ADON was asked if this policy was being followed, the ADON replied, No. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/22/2025, at 1:49 p.m. with the Respiratory Therapist (RT 2), RT 2 stated the RT in charge of the department is responsible to inform the ADON and Director of Nursing (DON) about any ventilator that requires servicing or are nearing their service due date. The ADON or DON will then contact an outside company to arrange for the servicing of those ventilators. The P&P titled Maintenance Service, dated December 2009, was also reviewed with RT 2. RT 2 was asked if this policy was being followed, RT 2 replied, No. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
