A steris service technician arrived on-site to inspect the amsco 600 sterilizer and found that the unit's air pressure was below the specified limit, and that the door proximity switches and door pressure set points required adjustment.The technician installed an air filter for the sterilizer and made the necessary door assembly adjustments, confirmed the unit to be operating according to specifications, and returned it to service.The device history record was reviewed and confirmed the unit was manufactured according to specifications; no abnormalities were noted.A 3-year complaint review determined this to be an isolated event.No additional issues have been reported.
