Evident Scientific Inc. is recalling SlideView VS200 slide viewers because a badly positioned internal cable can cause a short circuit. This short circuit destroys a fuse inside the laser, causing the shutter to remain stuck in either an open or closed position and making the device impossible to operate. This recall is mandated by the FDA and affects units distributed throughout the United States.
A short circuit in the door control system can result in a laser shutter that fails to close or open. This malfunction prevents the device from working properly and could lead to unexpected equipment failure or potential laser exposure issues if the shutter remains open during maintenance.
