| Issue: | Siemens has identified that affected systems have been manufactured with a defective reagent carousel temperature sensor PCB or may have had a part replacement with a defective PCB assembly. A particular set of the temperature sensor boards were built incorrectly. The incorrectly assembled temperature sensor boards may cause icing on the reagent carousel casting. If there is icing within the reagent carousel, there is a potential for the reagent carousel to encounter a mechanical jam which will stop the system from processing samples and will generate errors. |
