Asp investigation summary: the investigation included a review of the device history record (dhr), trending analysis of the odor/smells issue and system risk analysis (sra).The dhr was reviewed and no issues relating the failure mode were noted.The involved unit met manufacturer specifications at the time of release.Trending analysis of the odor/smells issue was reviewed for the previous six months and no significant trend was observed.The sra shows the risk for exposure to toxic or corrosive material to be "low." no parts were replaced as a result of the issue.The assignable cause of the odor/smells issue is likely due to the oil mist filter and catalytic converter.The field service engineer adjusted these parts and confirmed the sterrad® 100nx was restored to proper function after service.The issue was resolved at the customer facility.Asp will continue to track and trend this issue.Asp complaint ref #: (b)(4).
