Action

Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) sent an "Urgent: Product Correction" letter dated January 12, 2009 to each consignee informing them of the issue and instructed them to report smoke or a burning odors in or around their STERRAD 50 System. ASP strongly recommended for consignees to follow their facility's safety protocols and if possible, immediately disconnect the STERRAD 50 System from its electrical source. Customers were instructed to contact ASP to schedule an onsite visit to investigate the issue. If the issue is caused by a malfunctioning capacitor in the vacuum pump, the firm will replace the malfunctioning component right away. To correct this situation, an ASP Field Service Engineer (FSE) will visit all customers facilities within the next sixty days to replace the capacitor in the vacuum pump on the affected STERRAD 50 System.
