B.4 STATEMENT OF WORK

Sterile Processing Services (SPS) Water Testing (Revised 2 May 2025)

1. BACKGROUND. South Texas Veterans Healthcare System facilities have Sterile Processing Systems requirement for testing, maintenance, and repair of sterile processing water systems.

SPS is a critical part of any Hospital as it ensures all clinical departments have a readily available supply of sterile equipment. One of the key pieces of equipment supporting any SPS is the direct critical water supply to SPS personnel and equipment.

1.1 The updated AAMI ST108:2023 Standard, which governs the processes and requirements for Sterile Processing, added requirements to the roster of locations needing monthly critical water sampling. Per the standard, the requirement to test critical water at “every point of use” has significantly raised the quantity of water samples needed each month. Current water sampling contracts only cover the bare minimum of testing locations at the source of Critical Water systems.

2. SCOPE OF WORK. The purpose of this service is to provide for the testing of water, maintenance, and repair of water systems to ensure effective water quality for processing medical devices. The testing shall include testing of utility water, critical water and steam per guidance published in ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023, Water for the Processing of Medical Devices. In the event that ST108 is updated during the life of the contract the Contractor shall use the most recent version unless informed differently.

2.1 ST108:2023 (ST108) covers the minimum requirements for the quality of water and steam purity necessary to effectively process medical devices. The VHA may require more stringent requirements or more frequent testing and maintenance of water systems for processing medical devices in addition to the minimum requirements called out in ST108; however, the ST108 is the current guidance used by the VHA.

6.1.1 Utility Water: Water as it comes from the tap that can require further treatment at the facility to achieve water quality measurement values outlined in Table 1. This water is mainly used for flushing, washing, and intermediate rinsing (e.g., rinsing between cleaning and disinfection).

6.1.2 Critical Water: Water that meets the water quality measurement values detailed in Table 1; to achieve these values, the water generally requires extensive treatment by a multi-step process that can include a pretreatment, does include primary treatment (e.g., RO and/or DI), storage, distribution, and can include final treatment to provide a level of assurance that microorganisms and inorganic and organic material are removed from the water. This water is mainly used for the final rinse after high-level disinfection, for the final rinse for critical devices prior to sterilization and feedwater for process steam production.

6.1.3 Steam: vaporized water that is produced by a centralized boiler or a generator/heat exchanger near the sterilizer. When the steam is tested as a condensate, it should meet the specified criteria as defined in Table 2 below.

For boiler-treated steam, most boilers should be treated to maintain a condensate pH of 7.5 to 9.2 *** When Utility Water is used after chemical high-level disinfection as a final rinse, the bacteria should be <10 CFU/mL and endotoxin <10 EU/mL **** If hardness is greater than 150 mg/L a water softener is recommended unless used for washing where the cleaning chemistry is capable of handling higher levels of hardness NOTE: See ST108, Annex D for additional information.

6.1.4 Utility Water is predominantly used for medical device processing, except for final rinse, where Critical Water is recommended. At the point of production, Utility Water and Critical Water shall meet the requirements as specified in Table 2. Tap water can require treatment to meet these requirements. The bacteria level for Critical Water in Table 2 (< 10 CFU/mL [< 10,000 CFU/L]) is consistent with the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.

6.2 Water Quality and Equipment Maintenance.

6.2.1 The Contractor shall ensure water quality and equipment maintenance requirements are compliant with the guidelines and parameters established by ST108.

6.2.2 The Contractor shall provide for a monitoring and maintenance process to ensure compliance with the defined compliance parameters and associated frequencies as defined in Table 4, below from ST-108.

7. SAMPLING PER ST108 GUIDANCE.

7.1 Sample Collection: Critical Water samples, or other types of water when indicated, shall be collected from several locations within the distribution system to provide a representative microbial water quality of the system. In general, samples shall be collected at the beginning and end of the water distribution loop. A point-of-use in the distribution loop is a location where water enters equipment utilized to process medical devices. Where any storage tank is used, water shall be sampled at the end of the purification process and the exit of the storage tank.

Samples shall always be collected before disinfection of the water treatment system. If repeat cultures are performed after the system has been chemically disinfected (e.g., with hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, or peracetic acid), the system shall be flushed completely before samples are collected. Before samples are collected, the storage tanks and distribution system shall be drained and flushed until residual disinfectant is no longer detected. For new systems, the water shall be cultured weekly until an established pattern has been determined. For established systems, the water shall be cultured monthly unless a greater frequency is dictated by historical data at a given institution.

7.1.1 Water samples shall be collected directly from outlet taps situated in different parts of the water distribution system. In general, the sample taps shall be opened, and the water shall run for at least 60 seconds (per ST-108) before a sample is aseptically collected in a sterile, endotoxin-free container. The South Texas VA Health Care Center recommends flushing points-of-use at least 120 seconds prior to drawing samples. The collection container shall not be made of polypropylene, as polypropylene has been shown to inhibit endotoxin detection [78]. At least 100 to 300 mL of water shall be collected. Sample taps shall be treated with a general disinfectant (e.g., alcohol) prior to sampling and shall be completely dried to prevent contamination of the collected sample disinfectant residual from the sample tap. Bleach or other disinfectant solutions shall never be used. Bacterial replication is prevented by holding the sample on ice, or at 4 °C, until it is delivered to the laboratory for testing.

7.1.2 For bacteria test samples, sample analysis shall be initiated as soon as possible after collection to minimize changes in the bacterial population. The recommended maximum elapsed time between collection and analysis is 8-hours (maximum transit time 6-hours, maximum processing time 2-hours). When analysis cannot begin within 8-hours, the Contractor shall maintain sample at a temperature below 4 °C but do not freeze. Maximum elapsed time between collection and analysis shall not exceed 24-hours.

7.2 Water sampling technique. Sampling shall be consistent in procedure and sampling locations to ensure the accurate monitoring of water quality.

7.3 Flushing. Sample points shall be flushed commensurate to the size of the water system and distribution loop. Biofilms can develop throughout the water system, including infrequently used valves or downstream connectors between the distribution loop and equipment. Flushing these areas with a high flow velocity across these surfaces can shear off fragile tops of biofilms possibility growing in these areas. A standardized flush before sampling can limit the microbial contribution from the sampling points. For consistent testing results, the Contractor shall thoroughly flush points of use test locations for at least 120 seconds.

7.4 Sampling containers. The appropriate sampling container shall be used to collect the water sample. The container shall be of the required quality not to introduce contamination into the test sample. For example, samples used in the sampling for bacterial endotoxin shall be of the appropriate quality (e.g., pyrogen-free).

7.5 Sampling technique. Valves/taps/hoses used for sampling shall be of the appropriate design to not contaminate the sample. For example, sampling locations do not provide a stagnant water environment when not in use and is accessible to the distribution loop disinfection process. Prior to sampling the sampling surfaces (e.g., valves, hoses) shall be disinfected both externally and internally to reduce microbial contamination. Aseptic technique shall be used for water collection.

7.6 Results exceeding specifications. When detecting microbial quality levels exceeding specification, the Contractor shall perform a repetition of the disinfection and sampling at the location to confirm the results. Upon confirmation of the exceedance, the Contractor shall take immediate action as required to reduce the microbial contamination.

7.6.1 The distribution loop shall be disinfected using methods described in ST108, Annex E, to ensure the microbial contamination is not being introduced through the distribution system.

Automated instrument re-processors (e.g., washer–disinfectors, washer–decontaminators, AERs) shall be flushed with 1,000 ppm of a chlorine-releasing agent after the first instance of persistent unacceptable microbial levels is detected. Other agents that could be considered for flushing include chlorine dioxide, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and super oxidized water. Before the unit is flushed with any of these agents, the Contractor shall confirm with the re-processor manufacturer that the components of the machine are compatible with the disinfectant to be used in its intended concentration. The levels shall be monitored weekly by repeat testing until two (2) successive counts show that baseline levels have been achieved.

8. HOURS OF OPERATION. Normal duty hours are 8:00 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, not including federal holidays.

The Government observes the listed days as holidays. If the holiday falls on a Saturday, the Friday before is the holiday. If the holiday falls on a Sunday, the Monday after is the holiday:

New Year's Day January 1st Martin Luther King's Birthday Third Monday in January Washington’s Birthday Third Monday in February Memorial Day Last Monday in May Juneteenth June 19th Independence Day July 4th Labor Day First Monday in September Columbus Day Second Monday in October Veterans Day November 11th Thanksgiving Day Fourth Thursday in November Christmas December 25th

In addition to the days designated as holidays, the Government observes the following days:

• Any other day designated by Federal Statute

• Any other day designated by Executive Order

• Any other day designated by the President’s Proclamation

The observance of such days by Contractor personnel shall not otherwise be a reason for an additional period of performance, or entitlement of compensation. In the event the Contractor’s personnel work during the holiday, they may be reimbursed by the Contractor, however, no form of holiday or other premium compensation will be reimbursed either as a direct or indirect cost, other than their normal compensation for the time worked.

9. CONTRACTING OFFICERS REPRESENTATIVE.

10. SAFETY PLAN. The Contractor shall be required to provide a safety plan for the work to be performed under this contract before starting physical work. The plan shall include an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) focused on the essential areas of work where risks must be addressed.

The Contractor shall provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the Contractor’s employees and ensure all Contractor employees to include sub-contractors have and properly use the PPE. Protective lab coveralls, head covers (Bouffant caps), shoe covers, procedure masks and gloves are available from the VA, at each of the site locations; Contractors can use these items as supplied on-site by the VA for entering the Decontamination areas of the Sterile Processing Service. These items shall always be worn by all Contractor, sub-contractor personnel at each site location. The Contractor shall follow all OSHA (Office of Safety and Health Administration) and VHA Safety Guidelines and ensure their contracted personnel and all sub-contractors adhere to OSHA safety guidelines. The contractor shall be responsible to follow OSHA guidelines

11. TUBERCULOSIS (TB) SCREENING.

11.1 The Contractor shall provide written certification that all Contractor employees assigned to the worksite have had a pre-placement negative tuberculin screening within 90 days prior to assignment.

11.2 The Contractors shall be required to show documentation of negative TB screening for any additional workers who are added after the 90-day requirement before Contractor employees are allowed to work on the work site. NOTE: This can be the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention and two-step skin testing or a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved blood test.

11.3 Contract employees manifesting positive screening reactions to the tuberculin shall be examined according to current CDC guidelines prior to working on VHA property. If a Contractors employee is found without evidence of active (infectious) pulmonary TB, a statement documenting examination by a physician shall be on file with the Contractor noting that the employee with a positive tuberculin screening test is without evidence of active (infectious) pulmonary TB. If the employee is found with evidence of active (infectious) pulmonary TB, the Contractor employee shall be required to obtain treatment with a subsequent statement to the fact on file with the employer before being allowed to return to work on VHA property.
