Hazard Information

Potential Elevated Laser Output A disconnected cable or a poorly crimped cable under mechanical bending stress can cause loss of electrical contact. At one connection on the board, the failure can drive the laser output to approximately 1,600 mW. Potential Unintended Laser Firing A disconnected, or poorly crimped cable can falsely signal a fire command during measurement cycles. At a secondary location on the board, this fault can lead to unexpected laser activation during operation. Safety logic prevents firing when the system is idle.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact REPLIGEN CORPORATION or your healthcare provider for instructions
