Troubleshooting

Note: Repairs and adjustments should only be made by ASP
trained and authorized personnel.
Most sterilizer operating problems are accompanied by a system message.
These messages are useful in determining the source of the problem.
In many cases you can take remedial actions to return the sterilizer to
normal operation. Because load related issues are the most frequent cause
of cycle cancellation, the easiest solution is to repackage the load and restart
the sterilizer when a cycle cancels. Be sure to replace biological and chemical
indicators with new ones. In other cases, the problem may be caused by a
component failure that requires adjustment or repair by an ASP Service
Representative. Call your local ASP Representative for service information.
In the following table are messages that are displayed by the system.
The messages are listed in alphabetical order. Some messages do not
require action on your part and are merely statements of the system status.
Other messages require that you insert a cassette, remove the cassette
disposal box, or other such action. The display directs you what steps to
take. If the cycle had cancelled,
wear chemical resistant latex, PVC (vinyl)
or nitrile gloves when removing the load.
Running Diagnostics
If the sterilizer or the information in the following table directs you to run
diagnostics, remove the load and touch
Other Tests from the Diagnostics
menu. If you have received a message containing the word “temperature,”
touch
Temperature Tests . (See the section on “Access Levels and Supervisor
Tasks” for information on how to navigate to the Diagnostics menu.) If you
run Diagnostics and the tests show that there are errors, contact your ASP
Representative and report the diagnostic results. If the diagnostic tests pass
with no errors, you can run cycles with your normal load.
