What the ice-machine research found

Kanwar and colleagues studied 64 ice machines in five hospitals and two nursing homes. Gram-negative bacteria and/or Candida were recovered from:

100%of sampled drain pans
72%of sampled drain-pan grilles
52%of sampled ice/water chutes

These findings concern the sampled healthcare machines, not every restaurant or ice machine. They explain why hidden wet areas deserve attention; the study did not test No-Rinse.

Build the routine around the machine

  1. Identify the deposits. Check accessible bins, chutes and components for scale and residue.
  2. Use the machine-specific process. Follow the equipment manual for preparation, disassembly and cleaning access.
  3. Clean and sanitize as directed. Use the labeled concentration, contact time, rinse and draining steps.
  4. Keep a cleaning record. Record the service date and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
