  • Reason
    Beckman coulter has identified an internal wiring problem in certain navios reagent carts that may result in a severe shock hazard and instrument failure or shut down. during manufacture the compressor cable assembly may have been installed in a configuration that would allow the wiring to come into contact with the compressor frame during operation. normal vibration of the compressor frame could wear through the wiring's shielding and insulation material and connect electrical current to the reagent cart housing, resulting in the potential exposure of a user or service engineer to a severe shock hazard.
  • Action
    If the compressor fails or the system shuts down unexpectedly, unplug the laboratory power source and call Beckman Coulter Customer Service. A Beckman Coulter service engineer will be contacting the affected customers to arrange for an inspection of the device and make all necessary corrections if an issue exists with the wiring within the compressor module.
