Horiba Instruments Incorporated is recalling four units of the custom-configured Modular Fluorolog-QM fluorescence instrument. These specific custom setups are missing a primary light source and a part called an excitation monochromator, and used a plastic cap where a more durable metal beam stop should have been. This defect can allow a powerful Class 4 laser beam to burn through the plastic cap and escape the protective enclosure, posing a serious safety risk to anyone nearby.
The Class 4 laser beam can melt or transmit through the inadequate plastic plug, exposing users to direct laser radiation which can cause severe skin burns and permanent eye damage.
Manufacturer correction or repair of the laser enclosure defect.
