| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified that under certain conditions the white aspiration tube/filters on the end of the ProCell and CleanCell Aspiration tubes may become loose or fall off the aspiration tube completely. This in turn may allow air to enter the aspiration tube, creating foam. The Liquid Short Sensors (LSS) are unable to detect these very small bubbles. Foam may be visible in the ProCell and CleanCell reservoirs. If foam reaches the measuring cells, this may cause discrepant results. The magnitude of the discrepancy will vary with the amount of air being aspirated, particularly for ProCell. |
