Steelco ED 150
Steelco · Model ED 150
• Capacity: up to 9 endoscopes can be stored at a time vertically hanging on easy acces vertical drawers with fast connections. • Frame and panels in stainless steel AISI 304. • Door made in HST temperate glass. • Glass lockable doors are reversible and therefore can be configured right or left opening also during installation. • Single or double interlocked doors pass through versions. Double door version opening depends on control panel. Single door version can be key locked. • High level HEPA H14 air filtering - 3 programmable cycles.
Key tips
- ·A failed leak test means the scope does not get reprocessed or used - send it for repair, full stop.
- ·A shortened reprocessing cycle is a real infection-control failure, not a minor deviation - follow AAMI ST91 exactly.
- ·Track light-source lamp-hours against the manufacturer's limit rather than running to failure.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Drying air pump / HEPA fault
HighSymptoms: Scopes not fully dried, moisture retained.
Root cause: HEPA filter clogged or air pump failure.
Channel drying connector fault
MediumSymptoms: Individual channel not drying; alarm.
Root cause: Worn channel drying connector fitting.
UV / germicidal lamp failure (where equipped)
LowSymptoms: Storage disinfection cycle fails.
Root cause: Lamp end-of-life or ballast fault.
Door seal / interlock fault
LowSymptoms: Cabinet won't maintain filtered environment.
Root cause: Worn door gasket or interlock switch.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Leak testing before each reprocessing cycle
- ·Scope reprocessing per AAMI ST91
- ·Light source lamp-hour tracking
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Drying air pump / HEPA fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically scopes not fully dried, moisture retained.
- Check the most likely cause first: hEPA filter clogged or air pump failure.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the hEPA filter per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Channel drying connector fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically individual channel not drying; alarm.
- Check the most likely cause first: worn channel drying connector fitting.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the drying air pump per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
