15.2. ErrorMessages
If the 3M™Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GS Series detects a fault condition that adversely affects the performance of the cycle, an error message will appear on the display screen and cycle
report to notify the Operator. Additionally, an optional audible notification will accompany the error message if the audible notification option isenabled.
Immediately after an error is detected, the sterilization cycle will cancel and the GS Series sterilizer will automatically complete an error recovery to bring the sterilizer to the safest statepossible.
There are seven error levels that could occur during a sterilization cycle and two error levels that could occur during the Aeration stage. The seven error levels, descriptions and their respective
corrective actions are detailed in Table 7. Some errors must be cleared by your 3M Health Care service personnel or authorized 3M service personnel with a ServicePIN.
