Why it was recalled

There have been cases of failure of the main board due to condensation water drained from the Peltier dehumidifier, leaked out from the tray, resulting in a short circuit. In the serious case, the main board and adjacent cables are partly charred. In the minor case, the Y motor and its surrounding die cast part become rusty. These failures could result in delay in patient sample testing.

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