AIA-360 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer, Product Code 019945
A display screen software issue on the analyzer causes the display to freeze when display screen is touched at the same time as a command from the instrument firmware, causing the instrument to stop. As a result, the run is aborted and the results are not retrievable.

Genetic Screening Processor (GSP); PerkinElmer Part Number= 2021-0010 Intended for in vitro quantitative and qualitative determination of analytes in body fluids.
The firm became aware that the ball bushing axels are defective in the GSP instrument. During exposure to humid conditions, there is a risk that the axle material will corrode. Deterioration of the axle can be observed as deposits of corrosion on the defective axles. Ball bushing axles may corrode and corrosion particle may cause contamination in the wells or the corrosion will cause movement issues and possibly spillage and causing contamination of the plate wells.
