| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified that if the needle was not completely fixed to the body of the pipette and is used for samples transfer from the tube, the needle may become stuck in the cap of the primary sample tube when being pulled out of the tubes. The cap is made from more resistant and elastic material than human tissue, so it depends also on the handling, how the needle is retracted. |
