Reason for Recall

Under certain conditions, the product's wash buffer containing sodium azide can come in contact with the wash zone mechanism ground cables on either of the two wash zones. The copper in the ground strap may corrode and form an unstable chemical substance (metal azide) that may be sensitive to direct pressure and impact.

Firm Action

A product correction notice was issued to consignees on July 17, 2009. Field representatives were instructed to visit consignees, inspect cables and replace them
