Why the product was recalled
The action is being initiated because the cooling indicator board was improperly installed. This was first noticed by a service employee during assembly. If for some reason the cooling of the reagent rotor fails, the reagent cooling indicator light will not illuminate and the acoustic beeper will not go off. As a consequence the operator will not be warned and the reagent storage conditions may fall out of specification.
Distribution information
