Sysmex America, Inc. is recalling 44 units of its TS-10 and TS-10H Tube Sorter systems, which are used in laboratories to automatically sort barcoded sample tubes. The recall affects systems with catalog number BN168792 running software versions 00-17. Under specific conditions, the lift's electromagnetic holding force can fail, causing the lift to move downward unexpectedly.
