    • Terminated Z-0210-2016 FDA Class III initiated 3 Sep 2015

    In AMSCO Small Steam Sterilizers equipped with the CS-iQ feature, the sterilizer software inadvertently prevents the capability to operate the foot pedal, which allows the Operator to open and close the sterilizer door.

    • Terminated Z-1561-2015 FDA Class II initiated 19 Feb 2015

    STERIS has identified that the control board software in select AMSCO 400 and AMSCO C units will interrupt and cancel a processing cycle should the selected sterilizer shutdown time coincide with a processing cycle. This may result in a procedure delay.

    • Terminated Z-0915-2013 FDA Class II initiated 12 Feb 2013

    The control boards alarm set points and temperature tolerances allowed for erroneous activation of the AD (analog/digital) alarm as temperature fluctuated during operation. When this alarm occurs, the sterilizer locks up and cannot be used until serviced, causing Customer nuisance.
