Reported risk: The Amsco Evolution steam sterilizers utilize a loading system to assist the operator in transporting, loading and unloading items to be sterilized. Off-label use of transfer carriages by customers is resulting in minor injuries such as strained backs. Despite repeated in-services, these injuries are occurring when operators are pushing/maneuvering carriages that have been overloaded or not loaded evenly.
