FDA (Devices) recall action 82035
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
The software in the systems may not process the cycle originally intended. This could result in damage to the various medical devices and instruments processed in the washer/disinfector or potential for inadequate cleaning or disinfection.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Steris Corporation is recalling 68 AMSCO 5000 Series Washer/Disinfector units because a software defect may prevent the intended cleaning cycle from processing, potentially leading to inadequate disinfection.
Steris Corporation is recalling 11 AMSCO 3000 Series Washer/Disinfector units because a software defect may prevent intended processing cycles, risking inadequate cleaning or damage to medical instruments.
