Reason for Recall

Under specific conditions, the lift's electromagnetic holding force may disengage unexpectedly, allowing unintended downward movement of the lift.

Firm Action

A Product Notification Field Action was sent to customers on 12/15/25. Actions for customers 1. To prevent injury, never place your hands around the lift section at any time. 2. In addition, please follow these instructions when handling rack jams or similar errors: " Pay special attention not to insert your hands around the lift section during any intervention. " If a rack, tube, or any object becomes lodged around the lift section, turn off the power. After confirming that the lift section has moved to the bottom dead point, carefully remove the rack and blood collection tubes. " If the rack or blood collection tubes are jammed in the lift section and cannot be removed with one hand, contact Sysmex for assistance. 3. Sysmex will implement a software update to improve lift position control to prevent unintended sudden drops of the lift section by ensuring that, after an error occurs, the lift automatically returns to the home position. Our service team will contact you to schedule the installation of software version 00-18 by 12/31/2025. 4. Software update acknowledgement a.
