Reason for recall

FDA root cause
Other
Action
Important Product Information letters were sent to customers on 5/28/03, informing them of the potential for the air detector not detecting air bubbles consistently. The letters instructed the accounts to measure the air detector sensor voltage output on each of their instruments, using the enclosed instructions, to determine whether the installation of an air detector attenuator connector is needed. The instructions also included directions for installation of the attenuator connector. Since the instrument requires re-qualification after the testing and installation, the accounts were given the choice to have the testing and installation done during the next service call or as part of the instrument''s next normally scheduled maintenance.
