Where it was sold

  • Nationwide

Why it was recalled

The device may not function at the lower end (<15 deg. C) of the labeled operating temperatures. The instrument returns to normal operating conditions when environmental temperatures are at or above 15 deg. C. This issue has no potential to cause harm to either the patient or the operator. At the lower temperature, the instrument may fail to initialize, in which case slides would require manual screening. Therefore, no slides are screened by the device and no results can be released in error. The instrument labeling has been revised to indicate an operating temperature lower limit of 18 deg. C and operating humidity of 20 to 80% relative humidity.

This product is unlikely to cause harm, but it breaks a safety or labelling rule.
