Reason
When the Advia Centaur XP Immunoassay system instrument cover is raised, the cover is supported by a gas spring attached at the middle of the cover. Over time, the gas spring may lose its effectiveness and fail to support the cover in its full or partially open position. This may lead to the cover falling during maintenance procedures.
