Steris Corporation is recalling 2,545 units of various Hookup Accessories used with Medivators Advantage Plus and Advantage Plus Pass Thru automated endoscope reprocessors. The identification labels on these hookups can become unreadable over time because the ink may come off. This defect makes it difficult for medical staff to identify the correct hookup for specific medical procedures, which can lead to delays in patient care. These affected accessories were distributed between July 17 and September 27, 2023.
If the label ink wears off, users cannot properly identify the accessory, which may lead to the postponement of critical endoscopic medical procedures. While no injuries have been reported, the inability to verify equipment compatibility poses a risk to hospital workflow and patient scheduling.
Label integrity check and identification verification.
