I worked for a biomed field service company for over a decade and we serviced all sterilizers, autoclaves and steam boilers in Arizona. I’ve bandaged up may burns on our techs arms so this story is actually horrifying. These facilities will go to the ends of the earth to avoid buying new equipment. ASU Poly Technic is especially bad and they do testing on Ebola and Bubonic Plague! Cutting corners sterilizing deadly diseases was crazyyy to see

As a microbiologist who has used dozens of different autoclaves, I will forever be scarred from hearing this story. That poor woman. And that fine was an insult to her memory.

In a past life, I worked in dentistry, and I was always TERRIFIED out the autoclaves. We had smaller, counter-top autoclaves, but I was terrified one would explode and blast tools and metal, like a giant grenade. This story is absolutely horrific, and the settlement makes it worse

Sounds like it was cheaper to pay the fine, than replace the autoclave.

I worked at a hospital in the central sterile department. I CANNOT image being killed in an autoclave. It’s ridiculous hot. What a tragedy

Only 75,000 after all the warnings. That is sickening.

So, what have we learned here, kids? A human woman *deleted* by a big corporation is only worth $75,000. 😡😡

I’ve worked with autoclaves for over 30 years and never heard of one that automatically turns on when the door closes I guess you learned something new every day

As a sterile processor myself, this is a nightmare. I want to say there’s no way this is real but it is and it’s heartbreaking

That fine is a slap in the face!!! For knowing that it had an issue, and a life threatening issue at that, there should have been negligent homicide charges!!

Seen this sort of thing over and over again. And companies not wanting to spend money to address the situation. It’s just luck it doesn’t happen more often

Hospital did the math, decided $75k was cheaper

Fined $75k is not enough, and there's no record I can find that Tracy's family sued or given any compensation. Regions Hospital also tried to claim there was no record of it being faulty and it was an unfortunate accident. absolute BS for the victims family!
