Malignant Hyperthermia Prep

The ice maker/water dispenser in our ASC has recently broke. In addition to providing water for patients post-op, we use the ice maker as part of our treatment for MH. Just wondering what other ASC's use, as this is a very costly replacement. We have thought about getting a small freezer to store bags of ice and then getting a separate water dispenser. Any ideas/comments/recommendations would be appreciated!

In addition to a small ice and water dispenser, we have a marked envelope in our MH Kit with $20 in it with instructions to go buy ice from Wal-Mart (which is a 2 blocks away). During our yearly MH drill, we identify a non-clinical team member to do that task.
