Good Morning,
Re implementation of domestic dishwashers in aged care facility
A local facility has implemented a domestic dishwasher primarily for tea/coffee cups and small plates however, a highly
regarded consultant has confirmed that a domestic dishwasher is not appropriate for a residential care facility.
due to the dishwasher being unable to obtain temperatures greater than 82 degrees (which is the required temperature)
for a prolonged periods. In order to thermal disinfect. Hence, a domestic dishwasher is unable to thermal disinfect the
dishes and cutlery.
Any thoughts or further information would be appreciated
thank youJill

Hi Jill
I would support the consultant’s opinion. If the dishwasher is only for use of staff crockery, it would be fine. But if it is used for any crockery shared by patients, it needs to meet the appropriate food service standards within a HACCP system.
It sounds like the domestic dishwasher you have does not meet the required parameters, and probably has no way of confirming it reaches the appreciate temperatures for the appropriate time frames. So a new dishwasher is required to reprocess these patient items.
Cheers
