Reason for Recall

Failure to effectively sterilize: Under certain conditions, the design/operation of the C1160 Tray may compromise the ability of the SYSTEM 1 processor to correctly assess the state of the high pressure pump during the Sterile Cycle. The L6 sensor fails to alarm when the high pressure pump is not working properly.

Firm Action

Steris sent an Urgent Safety Alert/Recall letter dated 2/8/2008, to all customers. The letter stated that any device sterilized in the C1160 Tray should not be used clinically prior to a completion of a successful diagnostic cycle. Until further notice, you must run a diagnostic cycle after each sterile cycle involving a C1160 tray or alternately you must discontinue use of these trays. Steris service technicians will schedule visits to correct the problem.
