5. Reason for Authority Cited: The ASP STERRAD 100NX is a chemical sterilizer that requires significant training to support. ASP offers training to both government and civilian biomedical technicians in support of this equipment but in both cases the technicians must have been trained at a nationally accredited school of learning and have 4 years’ experience or have been certified as a Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician (CBET) by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) of Arlington, VA and have a minimum of 4 years’ experience servicing sterilization equipment, or have a Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical or Clinical Engineering from an accredited school of learning and have a minimum of 2 years’ experience. This service request is to utilize the Equipment Original Manufacturer (OEM), Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP). ASP has provided warranty support for the last three years. ASP has the ability to respond to request with parts and supplies on hand upon arrival. ASP also has the capability to diagnose connectivity issues utilizing proprietary software to digitally diagnose equipment failures which is not available in the commercial marketplace. Service attempted or performed by unauthorized personnel will void all ASP warranties and/or service agreements for the specific system in accordance with the provisions of ASP’s product warranty policy and service agreements. In addition, approved and proprietary parts are necessary to service STERRAD® Systems. These parts are only available to ASP authorized personnel.
