    (B)(4). LOAD NOT RECALLED.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    A CUSTOMER REPORTED A DOOR SENSOR FAULT ERROR WITH THEIR STERRAD NX, IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE LOAD WAS REPROCESSED PRIOR TO BEING RELEASED FOR USE ON A PATIENT(S). ALTHOUGH NO PRIOR INCIDENTS HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY, ADVANCED STERILIZATION PRODUCTS (ASP) HAS DETERMINED THAT THIS SITUATION PRESENTS A POTENTIAL RISK OF INFECTION. ASP RECOGNIZES THAT IN MANY CASES IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO TRACE INFECTION BACK TO THE STERILIZATION. AS A MATTER OF POLICY, ASP HAS THEREFORE DECIDED TO REPORT CASES OF CANCELLED CYCLES IF THE COMPLAINANT DOES NOT CONFIRM THAT THE LOAD WAS REPROCESSED PRIOR TO USE ON A PATIENT.
