Subject: Sole Source
Dear Customer:
Please be advised that STERIS is the sole factory-authorized supplier of parts and service for the equipment that we manufacture including products under the brand names of AMSCO®, Finn Aqua®, and HAMO.
All replacement parts manufactured or marketed by STERIS Corporation are compliant with original equipment manufacturer specifications. These parts are sold and shipped directly to the end user of the products. Distributors are not utilized.
STERIS has over 950 factory trained personnel who maintain our equipment through preventative maintenance agreements assuring that STERIS-manufactured equipment continues to operate in compliance with O.E.M.
specifications.
As the manufacturer of STERIS equipment, we recommend taking a number of factors into consideration when determining the appropriate number of annual preventative maintenance (PM) inspections. These factors include but are not limited to previous experience with the machine, adherence to recommended routine operator maintenance protocol, quality of utilities, technical expertise of the service provider, and equipment usage rates.
Unless there are complicating factors as described above, the routine maintenance set forth in the chart is recommended and reflects the PM visits covered by our current standard service agreement. Please work with your
STERIS service representative to determine, taking into consideration all relevant factors, if the appropriate PM visits for your equipment differ from the standard agreement. STERIS is in the process of revising product manuals to reflect our updated recommendations.
Steam Sterilizers 2 PM inspections annually
Electric Sterilizers 4 PM inspections annually
Generators – Stand Alone 4 PM inspections annually
V-PRO VHP Sterilization Systems 2 PM inspections annually or every 750 cycles, whichever is more frequent
Washers 4 PM inspections annually
Surgical Equipment 2 PM inspections annually
System 1E 4 PM inspections annually
