Description
The S.C.O.R.E.S. Unit (self contained operating room equipment sterilization unit)
Water retention issues. Units with filters that remain wet after the sterilization may compromised sterility.
On January 13, 2016 PMBS, LLC sent letters to their customers informing them of the correction. Per product's instructions for use, the SCORES cabinet is to be run for a minimun of a 4 minute sterilization cycle, followed by a 30 munites dry time followed by a 30 minutes door crack time. not all facilities generate completely dry SCORES filters following these instructions. It is imperative that the filters be checked in the Operation Room prior to useing the surgical instruments sterilised within the cabinet. If the filters are wet, do not use the contents. In the letter is a IFU addendum including instructions for running the equiptment with extended cycles. For more information please contact Ms. Michele Mauzerall, CEO at 908-300-7093.
