What inspectors cite — and how we prevent it
Real, published regulatory findings — every citation links to its source.
105 CMR 140.211(B) — Disinfection
Diagnostic and therapeutic equipment not disinfected after each use in accordance with recognised standards of practice. In Massachusetts this is a clinic licensure requirement, not guidance.
105 CMR 140.206 — Utility Closet
Cleaning compounds not clearly labelled or not stored in a locked utility closet, and no service sink with hot and cold water for emptying and cleaning housekeeping equipment.
105 CMR 140.204 — Clean Storage and Soiled Holding Areas
No separation of clean supply storage from the soiled workroom, or a soiled workroom lacking the required work counter, clinical service sink and handwashing sink.
Inside a Winchester service visit
The surfaces we prioritise in Winchester
- Procedure chairs and tables
- Equipment control panels and handles
- Keyboards and imaging workstation surfaces
- Patient positioning aids
- Door handles and light switches
- Check-in counter and payment terminal
What the crew does, in order
- Map each room's specialty equipment and agree which surfaces the clinical team reprocesses per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Clean environmental surfaces around the equipment with products compatible with its finishes.
- Clean before disinfecting where surfaces are visibly soiled, then hold the label contact time.
- Keep procedure rooms on their own cloths and equipment, cleaned last in the room order.
- Empty trash; sharps and regulated waste stay with your licensed hauler.
How often
- Procedure rooms: environmental surfaces daily, patient-contact surfaces between patients by clinical staff.
- Exam and consult rooms: daily.
- Waiting areas and restrooms: daily, more often in high-volume clinics.
Specialty clinics usually need after-hours cleaning so procedure rooms are ready for the first case.
Records for your surveyors
- Room and equipment-area checklist
- Product list with EPA registration numbers and contact times
- Safety Data Sheets
- Signed service logs
Questions worth asking at the walkthrough
- How do you sequence a procedure room versus a consult room?
- What documentation will you leave after each visit?
- How do you train staff on a new clinic's equipment?
We answer each of these in writing after the free assessment.
Winchester questions, answered

Verified examples include Winchester Hospital (acute care community hospital with emergency, surgical, cancer and maternity services). We list them as local market context; they are not presented as our clients.
The Winchester Board of Health / Health Department; its official page is https://www.winchester.us/1062/Board-of-Health. Clinics, hospitals and long-term care facilities are licensed and surveyed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, while the local board of health handles local environmental-health matters under the State Sanitary Code and local regulations. Our cleaning records are kept so they serve both.
Only where the device manufacturer's instructions permit our method and your administrator assigns it to us. Shared non-critical devices such as chin rests, headrests, blood pressure cuffs, and positioning equipment must be cleaned and disinfected between patients according to the degree of contamination, per the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist non-critical item definition and CDC Core Practices 5f, and between-patient cleaning during clinic hours is your staff's. Coated optical surfaces are easily damaged by the wrong product, so where the instructions specify a chemistry, we follow it or we do not touch the device.
We do not invent a method for it. Where a manufacturer provides no cleaning and disinfection instructions, CDC's position is that the item is not suitable for multi-patient use, and improvising a chemistry risks either damaging the device or leaving it contaminated with no way to prove otherwise. We list every such device in the walkthrough report and hand it back to your administrator to resolve with the vendor. That is usually a short email and a returned document, and it closes a finding before a surveyor opens one.
The responsibility matrix showing which surfaces and devices are ours and which are clinical, the written cleaning and decontamination schedule under 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i), product labels with EPA registration numbers and contact times, SDS sheets, the chemical storage and utility closet arrangement against 105 CMR 140.206, crew training records, and dated service logs. Surveyors test whether the method was defined and followed, not whether the floor looks clean. Dory's also carries $2 million in general liability and will issue a certificate naming your clinic.
