POWER PROCESSOR SAMPLE PROCESSING SYSTEM (2015-10-05)
Reason
Beckman Coulter has identified that the centrifuge module on the power processor sample processing system exceeds the published acoustic noise specification of 74 decibels. Beckman coulter implemented a new centrifuge motor on the power processor which included an additional cooling fan mounted directly on the motor shaft that spins when the centrifuge motor runs during centrifugation. As a result, centrifuges with the new motor have two cooling fans that are positioned very close to each other and spin in opposite directions causing air turbulence and acoustic noise.
