Inpeco recalls FlexLab automation systems with specific modules due to potential sensor delays that could cause safety issues in lab settings.
The sensors which activate the safety switches may be affected by delayed activation. In 1% of the cases, the response delay can be up to a maximum delay of 2 seconds, instead of 40ms expected by design.
Inpeco is recalling certain FlexLab Automation Systems used with specific lab modules because sensors might delay safety responses. This delay could theoretically cause a safety issue if the system fails to react quickly enough during operation.
The sensors that trigger safety switches may respond up to 2 seconds slower than expected (40ms) in 1% of cases. This delay could theoretically cause safety issues if the system fails to react quickly enough during operation.
Laboratory users with the recalled FlexLab systems and specific modules are most at risk. The recall affects systems with the listed serial numbers and product codes.
Check for the listed product model numbers (e.g., FLX-270, FLX-271) and serial numbers (e.g., FLX.0133, FLX.0191) on the system. The system is used in laboratories for sample handling and automation.
Identify the model numbers and serial numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your system is affected.
