Steris Corporation is recalling 32 AMSCO 7052HP and 7053HP Washer/Disinfectors because a wire within the electrical box may shift out of its intended position. This shift can lead to internal electrical arcing (sparking) within the unit. The equipment is used in healthcare facilities for cleaning and disinfecting reusable surgical instruments, utensils, and other medical supplies.
Internal electrical arcing can damage the machine's electrical components and presents a potential fire hazard. While the arcing is contained within the unit and does not pose a direct shock risk to users, it indicates a defect that requires correction to ensure the safe operation of the disinfector.
