Morning Sony
The Cape York Hospital and Health Service are also preparing for accreditation, and you have just reminded me about our ice machine. This is something that had not crossed my mind in regard to infection control.
Thanks

Hi Sony
There are many useful guidelines that cover infection control issues of ice machines, including:
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5210a1.htm
The last one from the UK simply suggests some thoughts along the appropriate use of ice machines.
Hope these help.
Cheers
