Reason
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic has observed an increase in the frequency of complaints for vessel feeder errors. The errors observed include "670: vessel feeder track sensor stuck on full", and "749: vessel track empty". Complaints have been confirmed with several Dimension reaction vessel lots. A low percentage of reaction vessels from those lots have been observed to have flashing on the flange of the vessel that may jam in the vessel track and generate an error.
