"We are pleased that the Agency cleared SYSTEM 1E for marketing," commented Walt Rosebrough, STERIS President and Chief Executive Officer. "This is good news for our Customers and we look forward to working with them as they continue their transition to acceptable alternative technologies. We remain committed to the outstanding level of service that our Customers have come to expect from STERIS." STERIS continues dialogue with the Agency to close out the remaining SYSTEM 1 issues and expects to announce a transition plan in the near future.
