The CF-70 instrument (product code: LXG; Regulation Number: 862.2050) receives magazines containing stained blood smears from SP-50, selects only smears that require analysis, and transports them to the DI-60 for further analysis. After completing the analysis on DI-60 the smears are placed back in magazines.

Why the product was recalled
