What the authority reported
In rare occasions, the combination of a leak of a highly flammable solvent at the ion source probe, and an electrical discharge may result in a flame on top of the probe and possible ejection of the electrode assembly from the probe. There is a risk to the patient/user, customer property, or environment because there is a potential for a health risk and property damage should the flame be left unattended. The failure causes a delay in patient results.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
