Why it was recalled

There have been cases of failure of the main board due to condensation water drained from the Peltier dehumidifier, leaked out from the tray, resulting in a short circuit. In the serious case, the main board and adjacent cables are partly charred. In the minor case, the Y motor and its surrounding die cast part become rusty. These failures could result in delay in patient sample testing.

FDA root cause category: Device Design
