Why Was This Recalled?

An increased incidence of damage to the nut band from a new vendor (Boamax) has led to an increased volume of complaints from consignees regarding wash arm motion failures, system check failures, and/or assay performance leading to a remote probability of delayed results or reporting erroneous patient results. The subject nut bands were found to not meet the firm's specifications for hardness and had the incorrect material grain direction. Affected instruments were manufactured from December 28, 2017 to October 19, 2022 or had their nut bands replaced during the same period.
