Hi Sony

There are many useful guidelines that cover infection control issues of ice machines, including:

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5210a1.htm

http://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/Policies_Procedures_Guidelines/Clinical/Infection_Control/Documents/SESLHNPD104-IceForHumanConsumption.pdf

http://www.newcastle-hospitals.org.uk/downloads/policies/Infection%20Control/Watercoolerspolicy200609.pdf

The last one from the UK simply suggests some thoughts along the appropriate use of ice machines.

Hope these help.

Cheers
Michael
