  • Cause
    Recent tests on sterilization methods have required the manufacturer to modify the instructions for use of these devices and recommend changes in the sterilization methods listed on the current labels. physio-control informs that it has received complaints, but there have been no events with patients or users due to damage or corrosion of the blades or cables. in addition, no infection reports were reported. however, corrosion or damage to the blades or cable may result in the inability to provide the therapy.
  • Action
    The company directs that the following modifications be observed: DO NOT USE: 1. Gravitational Flash type steam sterilization (validation of adequate sterilization effectiveness has not been achieved); 2. Ethylene Oxide (EO) 12/88 (sterilization by EO 12/88 was withdrawn and replaced by sterilization at 100% OE); 3. STERRAD 100 equipment (STERRAD 100 has been replaced by STERRAD 100S equipment); 4. Gravitational Vapor (Effective, but not recommended, because constant cycles can damage the cables). USE: 1. 100% OE; 2. Equipment STERRAD 100S; 3. Pre-Vacuum Steam. Physio-Control recommends that cables, blades, and connectors should be examined prior to each use and after sterilization for damage or signs of use such as weak connections, damaged connectors, exposed wires, and corrosion of the connector cable. It is also recommended to carefully evaluate the presence of scratches, marks or splinters on blades and also bubbles or splinters on the epoxy cover. In the event of damage, immediately remove the product from use.
