A technician from steris dealer, device technologies australia (dta), arrived onsite to inspect the unit and found that fittings on the reservoir required replacement.The damage to the fittings allowed sterilant to leak from the reservoir onto electronic components below causing the electrical wires to short and the reported event to occur.The technician performed the necessary repairs, tested the unit, confirmed it to be operating to specification, and returned it to service.The unit was manufactured in 2011 making it approximately 9 years old.A 3-year complaint review indicates this to be an isolated event.No additional issues have been reported.
