Why it was recalled

The system is designed to emit a beep upon termination of an exposure. However, if the system has been powered on for over 12 hours, the system will no longer emit this signal. This is a failure to comply with 21CFR 1020.31(j).

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
