Hi all! Our IBCLC has asked me to post the following:
Is breastmilk considered a biohazard for JACHO (forgive if I got the acronym
wrong, Hospital Joint Accredidation Survey)? Does a refridgerator designated
for breastmilk storage require a biohazard sticker? What are the
standards/guidelines? What are the standard precautions? What references?
(The QA -Quality Assurance- LTC -Lieutenant Colonel- at our military hospital
is giving us grief & discounting an article quoting from a 1997 CDC -Center
for Disease Control- report. Sorry, don't have the name of the article
available.)
You may post either privately or to the list. I will be checking the archives
this evening after my toddlers are in bed.
