Evident Scientific recalls SlideView VS200 slide viewers with a broken laser fuse due to internal short circuits. Affected units may have shutter stuck open or closed, posing a risk of injury during use.
A broken fuse inside the laser that was caused by a short circuit at PIN 4 of the DOOR CTRL. This short circuit was caused by a badly positioned cable that made contact with the housing/frame and caused a short circuit and destroyed the fuse in the laser. This caused the shutter to remain in its most recent state; either in an open or closed position. Once the fuse was destroyed the shutter could not be operated.
Evident Scientific is recalling SlideView VS200 slide viewers because a short circuit can destroy the laser fuse, causing the shutter to get stuck open or closed. This could lead to injury if the user tries to operate the device.
A short circuit at the door control cable caused a fuse to break inside the laser. This prevents the shutter from moving, so it stays either open or closed. If the user tries to operate it, they could get injured.
Owners of SlideView VS200 slide viewers purchased between 2019 and 2022 are affected. Users who try to operate the stuck shutter may face injury risks.
Check for the model number on the device: 65159, 67105, 67104, 69153, 67106, or 69154. The product was sold between 2019 and 2022.
Look to see if the shutter is stuck open or closed and cannot be operated.
If the shutter is stuck, do not attempt to operate it to avoid injury.
