Repligen Corporation is recalling 33 units of the MAVERICK Measurement Module Spectrometer (part number 820-01367, kit 820-01519, and finished goods 820-01496) because a disconnected or poorly crimped cable can cause the laser to fire unexpectedly or at a much higher power than intended. This failure can drive the laser output to approximately 1,600 mW or cause the device to activate during measurement cycles. These issues can occur when the cable is under mechanical stress, though safety features are designed to prevent the laser from firing when the system is not in use.
Faulty cable connections can lead to unexpected laser activation or excessive power output during operation, which could lead to accidental exposure or injury to laboratory staff. While safety logic is in place to prevent firing when the device is idle, the unintended firing during active cycles remains a safety concern.
Recall number Z-1024-2026; PN 820-01367 was originally part of kit PN 820-01519.
