Why it was recalled

The analyzers fail on S7950 (Range +) QC measurements due to the hemolyzer cuvettes, a subcomponent of the optical system which measures ctHb and derivates. In a cuvette with light shunt, some of the received light has not been transmitted through the sample. This will lead to a perturbed and non-linear absorbance spectrum which results in measurement errors.

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