At 0815, the dispensing unit for the chemical disinfection solution at 1:64 dilution measured between 0-500 ppm with a test strip, instead of 1,000 ppm. Crew stated this was due to the concentrated chemical disinfection solution container needing to be replaced. Crew stated the concentration was checked at 0700, which is when the housekeeping locker opens for the housekeeping team members to fill their buckets and spray bottles. The check at 0700 could not be verified. Per the ship’s Outbreak Prevention and Response Plan (OPRP), the chemical disinfection solution at 1:64 dilution is required for Level 1 and 2. On the day of the inspection, the ship was at Level 1. Additionally, the OPRP states 'For verification the test strip used should read as 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, and 3000 ppm respectively. Dispensers are to be maintained in good working condition. Dispensers should be regularly checked to ensure they are dispensing at the required concentrations. The level of the concentrate in the chemical disinfection solution bottles at each dispenser must be visually checked regularly to ensure that they have sufficient product'.
