Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) is recalling (removing) the Sterrad 100S and Sterrad NX System cassettes because the camera used to verify printing on the Sterrad System cassettes was inadvertently disabled. The STERRAD 100S and STERRAD NX System cases were shipped without verification of proper printing.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Error in labeling
Action Advanced Sterilization Products sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL (REMOVAL) letter dated July 16, 2012 to all their customers who purchased the STERRAD 100S and STERRAD NX System cassettes. The letter informed the customers of the problem identified and the actions to be taken. For the STERRAD NX System cassettes, there should be no impact to the functionality of these affected cassettes. Although printing may be smeared, illegible, or missing, the packaging has multiple references to the information, and the cassettes should be usable despite any printing error. For the STERRAD 100S System cassettes, there is a chance that the barcode will be unreadable and the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer will not accept the cassette. Customers were instructed to complete and return the business reply card and packing slip that are included in the letter. Customers were instructed to contact Stericycle at (888) 406-9303 for additional labels. Customers with questions about the recall letter were instructed to contact Stericycle at (888) 406-9303.
