Recalled products
A. Walk Away Specimen Processor
Reason
This recall has been initiated due to a software upgrade concerning the broth inoculation table feature. The upgrade has been considered necessary from the manufacturer in order to eliminate the very low risk of rotation of the broth table when the door is open. This event may happen only if damage in the door locking system happens. This could result in a minor, transient injury to the user due to the impact with the rotating table.
