Scican recalls STATCLAVE G4 tabletop autoclaves for possible incomplete sterilization of non-steam-compatible items. Affected units may cause damage or unsafe sterilization if used improperly.
The STATCLAVE G4 is a dynamic air removal (prevacuum) tabletop steam sterilizer intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam. It is suitable for the sterilization of dental and medical instruments that are validated to be sterilized by steam.

The processing of such loads may result in incomplete sterilization and / or damage to the autoclave.
